Excited to share that the Tumor Microenvironment Center at @UPMCHillmanCC is growing thanks to the vibrant leadership of @DelgoffeLab!
In 2014 I joined the fledgling Tumor Microenvironment Center @UPMCHillmanCC w @RobertFerrisMD and @VignaliLab, taking a holistic view of cancer by unifying faculty interested in a ‘piece’ of its environment (now 7 investigators!). Today, I announce that we are GROWING! 1/

Excited to share our paper out today in @CellCellPress with @BcellBruno @Vignali_Lab! Part of a trio of papers, we show in #Melanoma, anti-PD1+anti-LAG3 therapy modifies CD8 differentiation to promote enhanced effector function

Congrats to @Feng_Shan_ on this awesome manuscript, a tour de force combining cutting edge dry and wet lab tech to address novel question about Treg gene regulatory networks!
Regulatory T cells are phenotypically and functionally heterogenous in the TME, but what are the transcriptional networks of functionally suppressive Tregs in the TME? Our latest work from the lab and first-author @Feng_Shan_ is out now at @SciImmunology!

Awesome action shot @BcellBruno! It was great presenting last night, looking forward to all the exciting posters at #TRCCC2023 tonight
Great action shot of @tonyrcillo from the @Vignali_Lab presenting our story on a very unique clinical trial that gives great insight on modulation of the TME! Stay tuned! It’s been a pleasure being a part of your career! #TRCCC2023

Check out this amazing resource from the @Adrianvlee and @oesterreichs labs! High quality curation of tons of -omics datasets related to estrogen receptor biology in breast cancer with a great interface
Please RT: ER/E2/breast cancer. We are seeking #crowdsourced datasets and opinions. We curated 136 published datasets, processed with one pipeline and made a browser to visualize E2-induced expression and ER binding. Feel free to try it out 🧵
