AKMG Canada Annual General Meeting

Akmg Canada Annual meeting 2025 was a grand success thanks to the stellar vision and teamwork from our leadership team: Dr. Krishnakumar Nair, Dr. Usha Harikumar, and Dr. Anil Joseph 👍. The presence of almost 130 attendees, insights by two state ministers with portfolios aligned to healthcare and immigration, a plenary talk by Dr. Jobin Varughese, general body meeting, skit, fashion show, dance, music, vendor booths, networking opportunities — and the vibrant energy infused by our young brigade led by Dr. Sumesh Menon and Chanchal — were the main highlights.
A heartfelt thank-you to our senior leaders — Dr. Mariamma Joseph, Dr. Mathai, Dr. Shah Nawaz, Dr. Santosh Paikattu, et al. — for their continued support🙏🙏. The New Jersey team, led by Dr. Elizabeth Mammen, Dr. Rekha Menon, and Dr. Liza Protasius, officially launched their registration campaign last night. Thanks to several community sponsors, Dr. Savita Rajan, and Dr. Thomas Rajan, we were able to cover a significant portion of the expenses and offer discounted registration for IMGs. Special shout-out to Dr. Shelby Kutty for wholeheartedly supporting Team Canada and Team New Jersey.
Introducing the new AKMG Canada leadership team: Dr. Iqbal Vadakkayil, Dr. Ajoi Vincent, and Dr. Sumesh Murali.

Cancer. The word itself strikes fear, bringing to mind a disease that feels like a betrayal from within. As the world's number-two killer, its a subject of immense research, with over a million papers published in the last fifty years alone. But what if our understanding of cancer is fundamentally flawed? What if this seemingly modern disease is not a chaotic accident of our genes, but a ghost of our evolutionary past, an ancient survival mechanism gone rogue? This perspective, while perhaps surprising, is gaining traction among scientists. It suggests that cancer is not a new invention of damaged cells, but a reversion to an older, more primitive way of life. To truly grasp this idea, we must embark on a journey back in time, over a billion years, to the very dawn of multicellular life. The Great Evolutionary Leap: From Individualism to Community For a staggering two billion years, life on Earth consisted solely of single-celled organisms. Their imperative was simple and si...
