After an early childhood experience observing a kidney tumor, Michigan native Shaan-Chirag Gandhi has been committed to understanding the complexities of cancer. A 2006 Goldwater Scholar, Shaan has pursued cancer research in-depth, studying mechanisms of tumor formation and metastasis at the National Institutes of Health as a Cancer Research Award Recipient, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as a Gerstner Scholar, the Mayo Clinic as a Newman Fellow, and at Case as a Phi Beta Kappa Research Fellow.

yes, I CAN
If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but you think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't!
If you think you'll lose, you've lost, For out in the world you find Success begins with the will, It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are, You've got to think high to rise; You've got to think of yourself before You can ever win the prize!
For many a race is lost Before ever a step is run; And many a coward fails, Before his work's begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow, Think small and you'll fall behind, Think that you can and you will,
It's all in the state of mind!
Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man; But sooner or later the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can!
