#AACR24 is not only a time to share and discuss the latest developments in the fight against #cancer, but also an opportunity to come together and raise money for a great cause.   This past Saturday Team Zentalis participated in AACR's #RunnersforResearch 5K Run/Walk to support lifesaving cancer research, with this year's theme being "Inspiring Science, Fueling Progress, Revolutionizing Care. Thank you to all who participated as well as our donors!

We're thrilled to announce that Dr. Huili Zhu is the recipient of the 2024 Zentalis Women Who Conquer Cancer Young Investigator Award. The Young Investigator Award, led by Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation, provides funding to the next generation of clinical oncology investigators, helping them transition from a fellowship program to a faculty appointment. Zentalis is proud to join other companies, organizations, and individuals in helping support this important program. Dr. Zhu is currently a hematology and oncology fellow at Baylor College of Medicine focusing on gastrointestinal oncology. Her funded project, with mentorship from Dr. Jason Mills and Dr. Ramon Jin, will investigate the role of esophageal myofibroblasts in Barrett's Esophagus and Esophageal Adenocarcinoma.

Did you know that May is Oncology Nursing Month? We’d like to shine a spotlight on the incredible dedication and compassion of oncology nurses, who play a pivotal role in helping cancer patients and their families. They not only provide medical expertise, but also unwavering support, comfort, and advocacy throughout every step of the journey. From administering treatments to offering a listening ear, their impact goes far beyond the hospital walls. To all the oncology nurses out there, thank you for all that you do. Your work does not go unnoticed, and your impact is immeasurable. #OncologyNursingMonth #HealthcareHeroes

Not only is today Mother’s Day, but it’s also the start of #NationalWomensHealthWeek, a week to highlight women’s health issues and encourage women of all ages to prioritize their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Part of keeping healthy is being sure to schedule regular check-ups and screenings, including blood tests, Pap smears and mammograms to detect cancer. The sooner cancer is caught, the greater likelihood of treatment success.

Today is #WorldOvarianCancerDay. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 19,680 women will receive a new ovarian cancer diagnosis this year, with 12,740 women estimated to die from this disease. Ovarian cancer is often referred to as the "silent killer" because symptoms can be subtle, leading to late-stage diagnosis. Zentalis is dedicated to changing this narrative, developing new treatment options to help patients live longer, fuller lives.

This morning, we shared our first quarter financial results and recent operational progress. Read the full release here: https://lnkd.in/e6K2PrFW
