If true, this is very sad. Padmanee Sharma is married to Nobel Prize winner Jim Allison, who won it for his discovery of immunotherapy treatment for several cancers.
If Sharma actually did this, it seems out of character from what her husband would do, or what MD Anderson would tolerate.
If what this young researcher alleges, she should have no trouble getting a position in another major cancer center.
I see my oncologist at MD Anderson tomorrow. I’ll ask him about this situation. Probably can’t say anything, but I’ll ask.
Well, he got the credit for the discovery.
Be sure to post a follow-up to your discussion.
Thanks.
