Uncommon Insight Award 2018

The Uncommon Insight Award is presented to a researcher who has made an exceptionally important discovery which deepens our understanding of chordoma and advances the development of new therapies.

This year, the Uncommon Insight Award was presented to Opher Gileadi for solving the crystal structure of brachyury, a vital step both toward understanding how brachyury drives chordoma and developing new therapies that target brachyury. Not only does it address one of the top research priorities identified by the field, but it will undoubtedly serve as a crucial jumping off point for future studies and additional insights.
