Thrilled to be co-hosting Mara Sherman Lab at UMass Chan along with Marcus Ruscetti Lab! Mara gave an amazing lecture on cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) origins and their signaling networks in pancreatic cancer to a packed room! 👏👏

Official press release for Nikita Bhalerao, PhD's Hopper-Belmont Foundation Inspiration Award in Pancreatic Cancer. Super proud of you Nikita! einpresswire.com/article/759740…

Thrilled to share highlights of my talk at #aacrRNA24 yesterday. I am grateful for the valuable feedback from the attendees. I also want to extend sincere graduate to conference co-chairs for this platform as a graduate student. It was truly an incredible experience.

World Pancreatic Cancer Day! So happy to be a part of this vibrant #PancreaticCancer research community both UMass Chan Medical School and beyond! Lots more to do for us to make a difference in this deadly disease, but it's nice to take a step back today and appreciate how far we have come!

We have been saying for a long time that checkpoints alone is not the answer since ultimately the cancer cell loses the receptor to T cells to evade the treatment. MHC-1 loss and cold tumors is the universal mechanism for tumors to progress. So adding more checkpoints to

Happy to share our recent review on cellular senescence and its impact on tumor immune surveillance authored by Lin Zhou and Boyang Ma in Trends in Cancer. Lots of exciting developments in the field over the past few years worth checking out! cell.com/trends/cancer/…

Congrats to postdoc in the lab Nikita Bhalerao, PhD for being awarded a Pancreatic Cancer Alliance Postdoc Fellowship!!

One Team One Dream One Emotion! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 #TeamIndia

India's 1️⃣2️⃣-year wait comes to an end finally 🤩🏆 #ChampionsTrophy

The Ruscetti Lab had a strong showing at GI Research Day at UMass, with Chaitanya Parikh, Shreya, and Haruka presenting their GI (and non-GI) projects. All the trainees gave fabulous talks, capped off by a great Keynote address by Nabeel Bardeesy. Thanks for organizing Meng-Ju Wu!

Yesterday was a bittersweet day, as we said farewell to Kelly and Shreya in the lab. Not only are they talented scientists but great people as well. We will truly miss them and wish them best of luck on their next journeys. Though I have a feeling our paths will cross again!

Welcome to the lab, Meghan! 😊
