Impact Journals Announces Sponsorship of the Open Access Team in the 2025 Ride for Roswell, Fortifying Cancer Research Advocacy Through Scientific Publishing
Impact Journals, a prominent publisher recognized for its commitment to rapid dissemination of biomedical discoveries, has once again confirmed its sponsorship of the Open Access Team participating in the 2025 Ride for Roswell. This annual event, held on June 28, 2025, in Buffalo, New York, stands as one of the nation’s foremost cycling fundraisers dedicated to advancing cancer research. By intertwining the spheres of scientific publishing and community engagement, Impact Journals exemplifies how academic institutions and the public can collaboratively drive progress toward the eradication of cancer.
The Ride for Roswell, hosted by the esteemed Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, has garnered national attention for its comprehensive approach to cancer advocacy. It mobilizes thousands of riders, volunteers, and supporters from across the United States to not only raise crucial funds for scientific research but also to foster awareness and support for survivors and families impacted by cancer. The 2025 ride features nine distinct routes, ranging from a modest 4-mile journey to a grueling 100-mile challenge, all originating from the University at Buffalo North Campus, thereby accommodating participants of varying skill levels and dedication.
Central to the impact of this event is the Open Access Team, a collective underscored by a profound commitment to open scientific communication. Led by team captain Sergei Kurenov, the team symbolizes the intersection of medical science, publishing innovation, and patient advocacy. Their sponsorship by Impact Journals highlights a unique synergy, wherein open access publishing platforms not only accelerate the dissemination of cutting-edge cancer research but also actively participate in community-driven fundraising and awareness initiatives.
Open access publishing has revolutionized how scientific information is shared by removing traditional paywalls, thereby democratizing access to knowledge that can expedite breakthroughs in cancer treatment and prevention. Impact Journals, through its suite of open access publications including Oncotarget, Aging, Genes & Cancer, and Oncoscience, facilitates rapid peer review and immediate availability of research findings to a global audience. This model is essential for translational science where timely data sharing can influence clinical decision-making and policy development.
The team’s dedication gains a personal dimension through captain Sergei Kurenov’s reflections on his motivation. Having witnessed firsthand the challenges posed by cancer, including his father’s battle and the resilience of friends facing prostate and lung cancers, Kurenov channels these experiences into a decade-long commitment to this cause. His participation underscores a critical aspect of the event’s narrative: that beyond scientific innovation, cancer research is deeply human and requires sustained empathy and advocacy.
This year’s ride carries a poignant tribute to Dr. Mikhail (Misha) Blagosklonny, a visionary scientist whose pioneering research and leadership reshaped the landscapes of oncology and gerontology. Dr. Blagosklonny’s elucidation of mTOR signaling pathways and his advocacy for pharmacological interventions such as rapamycin have opened new horizons in understanding cellular aging and cancer proliferation mechanisms. His role as founding Editor-in-Chief of Oncotarget, Aging, and Oncoscience also marked significant strides in championing open access publishing, ensuring scientific knowledge remains freely accessible and widely disseminated.
The Ride for Roswell’s multiple route options not only test physical endurance but symbolize the multifaceted approach necessary to combat cancer. Scientific advancements require collaboration among diverse disciplines, from molecular biology and immunotherapy to epidemiology and bioinformatics. Events like this facilitate public involvement and underscore the essentiality of sustained funding streams for complex cancer research initiatives.
Support for the Open Access Team can be rendered via donations, team membership, or storytelling contributions, engaging a wide spectrum of stakeholders. This inclusive platform fosters communal responsibility and empowers individuals to participate actively in the protracted battle against cancer. Such participation ensures that cancer research funding does not remain siloed within academic or clinical settings but permeates public consciousness.
Impact Journals’ involvement exemplifies a broader paradigm shift within scientific publishing—where publishers are not merely passive conduits of information but active participants in research ecosystems and community outreach. The synergy between open access platforms and grassroots fundraising amplifies the reach and impact of cancer research endeavors.
With the 2025 Ride for Roswell poised to mobilize riders from around the country and beyond, the event represents a microcosm of the global commitment to improving cancer outcomes. The visibility afforded by such collaborations between publishers, researchers, and the community serves to accelerate the implementation of novel therapies, enhance patient education, and ultimately move society towards a future free of cancer’s burden.
Prospective participants and supporters are encouraged to visit the rally’s official channels to contribute toward this vital cause. Through the combined forces of science, philanthropy, and community spirit, tangible strides can be achieved in unraveling the complexities of cancer biology and delivering innovative solutions.
