Excited to share our editorial on a fascinating paper out of the Pollard lab - GBM cells can partially imitate myeloid cells as another way to evade immune attack. 🤯
Today we buried one of my first and closest patients from heme-onc fellowship. Sydney, I will never forget you. You will stay my forever inspiration to work as hard and fiercely as I can towards finding new therapies. One day, we will win and laugh cancer in the face. Together.
Thrilled to see our joint story on VRK1 dependency in neural-lineage cancers (including DIPG) out! This was a wonderful collaboration with Bill Hahn and Kim Stegmaier, led by our three fantastic postdocs - grateful to be at
@DanaFarber
where cross-disease projects are possible!
Excited to share our newest story with
@JCI_insight
. A joint collaboration between William Hahn,
