Black scientist, Benedict Anchang, PhD, is a leading computational biologist
spearheading advances in cancer treatment. He developed computational tools that
predict tumor progression, thereby aiding in personalized medicine. Anchang's
innovative approaches involve modeling, integrating, and optimizing the effects
of complex biological processes like cancer and toxicity, using single-cell
analysis to understand cellular heterogeneity in both normal and diseased
states. He was born in Cameroon. His mother died from recurrent breast cancer
when he was 18, and this triggered his dedication to cancer research. He
completed his bachelor’s degree in mathematics at the University of Buea in
Cameroon. He next got a master's degree in Biostatistics at Hasselt University
in Belgium, specializing in statistical analysis applicable to biological
systems. Anchang earned his PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of
Regensburg in Germany. Thus, he became an expert in computational and systems
biology. Post-PhD, Anchang moved Stanford University, California. While at
Stanford, he worked on projects that included the development of CCAST
(Computational Clustering and Analysis of Single Cells for Tumor), a model-based
gating strategy to isolate homogeneous subpopulations in heterogeneous
single-cell data, published in 2014. His work here also involved developing
algorithms and methods for understanding the complexities of cancer at a
single-cell level, which has been pivotal in advancing personalized cancer
therapy strategies. Currently, Anchang serves as a Stadtman Tenure-Track
Investigator in the Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch at the
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) in North Carolina.
Here, he studies how drugs, endocrine disruptors, viruses, and environmental
agents affect cellular receptors, contributing to various health outcomes
including cancer, birth defects, and developmental disorders. #fyp #foryoupage
