For participating in 2023 Rush to Crush Cancer

Our story…

I am an oncologist focusing on treating advanced melanoma and skin cancers. My research focuses on understanding the role of innate agonists in cancer as well as our gut microbiome in mediating both response, resistance and immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Our work is collaborative, includes members from multiple research groups, spans multiple disciplines and has been published in leading journals.  You can read more about our research here (https://www.rushtocrushcancer.org/stories/dr-diwakar-davar/). 


This year, I'm leading a team on the 60-mile ride. I ask for your monetary support - and if you’re interested in riding, I would love for you to join "Team Melanomore". We all know someone who has been affected by cancer. By supporting Rush to Crush Cancer, you will help researchers like my colleagues and I continue our quest to find treatments to cure cancer. This truly is a unique opportunity to be a part of something special.
