Nothing more important than supporting patients with #braincancer. Nothing! Today @sixers honored my patient, Georgy Weber: survivor, mom-to-be. @pennNSG @PennCancer @NSTumorSection @NBTS @NCI are committed to cure #glioma #GBM. @TyreseMaxey work ethic captures the effort needed.
🩺@PennMedicine spotlight: today we recognize Dr. Nduka Amankulor, a renowned brain surgeon and Director of the Penn Medicine Brain Tumor Center. Nearly 3 years ago, Dr. Amankulor performed a complex glioblastoma operation to remove a malignant brain tumor in Georgina Weber. Today, Georgina is in complete remission and pregnant with her first child.

I dont mix family and @X but can’t help being proud of my son @noahamankulor joining the #twitterverse on his @NCAASoccer recruiting journey. Same message to Noah as i give my @PennNSG residents. Work hard, be humble, and never fear failure. @FCDELCO2
Proud of my @FCDELCO2 U17 NAL team. We responded to our first loss in 13 games by coming out on fire today and taking care of business. A hat trick and two assists on the day. Credit to @Coach_Thames1 for motivating us. Let’s go boys! @USsoccer, @DHessDelco, @EPAYouthSoccer

Inspiring grand round by @davidlangermd w/ Nobel laureate @kkariko cameo. Take home: 1. Celebrate success of colleagues 2. Self-reflect 3. Focus on your North Star, not your Gold Stars. 4. Empathy enhances surgical skill. #truth #stoicism

Excited to have @Dsilverbush on #cBio and #Pennbraintumorcenter faculty. Dana’s approach to the war on #GBM is going to pay dividends. @PennCancer @PennNSG @PennCBP👇🏾
🧬👩🔬Exciting News🧪🔬 The Silverbush Lab is opening soon at UPenn! The lab will decipher tumor #heterogeneity and #plasticity, meaning how cancer cells change their state to become more aggressive or escape treatment. 1/6

Fantastic work led by my friend and collaborator @NeuroOncDoc illustrating efficacy of in vivo myeloid reprogramming to prevent #glioma. The therapeutic implications are vast! @nationwidekids @NeurosurgeryOSU @PennNSG @CellPressNews @NSTumorSection
Check out my lab’s latest #research @CellReports, a story of reprogramming a #dynamic #tumor #microenvironment with #genetically #modified IL-2 secreting #myeloid #cells to delay #glioma #progression. #Team #science w/ @Alessan56634984, Elaine Mardis, @NdukaAmankulor @KidsOncDoc

@TheMarkFdn @PennNSG @PennMedicine Grateful to @TheMarkFdn @Becky_ABC for taking a chance on our work when others thought #IDHm gliomas were just the annoying little sibling of glioblastoma. #CancerMoonshot would not have been possible without you. @PennNSG @PennCancer
