William Coley - The Pharmacologist William Coley stood helplessly beside Elizabeth “Bessie” Dashiell’s hospital bed when she died on January 23, 1891. When he began treating 17-year-old Bessie four months earlier, he had just completed his surgical internship under two prominent surgeons (William T. Bull and Robert F. Weir) at New York Hospital and had already shown great promise as a surgeon himself.

Known as the “Father of Cancer Immunotherapy," Dr. William Coley discovered that triggering the immune system with bacterial toxins could cause cancer remissions. His work laid the foundation for today’s cancer treatments like checkpoint inhibitors: https://ow.ly/iQbN50YBgqC

Alex White, PhD, is the Molecular Pharmacology HTA for April 2026. His research focuses on understanding the signaling mechanisms of GPCR that underlie their biology with the hopes that these insights can be exploited to develop novel therapies: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molpha.2026.100111

Scientists come to ASPET's annual meeting to hear from distinguished keynote speakers and learn about recent breakthroughs. But science happens through connection, and ASPET 2026 offers a number of unique ways for you to connect with your colleagues! 🧪

Randy Hall, PhD, discusses how AI could transform biomedical research, not as a replacement for scientists but as a powerful collaborator. In the next few decades, researchers who master this partnership may ultimately define the next era of biomedical discovery: https://ow.ly/pUmI50YAGfI

Dive into the pioneering work of Dr. William Coley, whose controversial experiments using bacterial toxins to trigger immune responses led to unexpected cancer remissions, earning him recognition as the “Father of Cancer Immunotherapy.”
