Gilead Research Scholars Program funds impactful research. So important to have this funding for young investigators, particularly at this time where funding is so challenging. gilead.inc/4kCE1wK

Grateful for the funding to explore high risk projects for novel cancer immunotherapies!! You can hear a bit about the work we and the other amazing Scholars do in this video.

Thrilled to share our UM SVI LAB work published today in Journal of Clinical Investigation focused on harnessing viral mimicry to activate immunotherapy for #GBM. Thanks to all of my Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center UM Neurosurgery colleagues for their invaluable contributions! jci.org/articles/view/…

OCRA is proud to announce the first 3 recipients of the $6 million we’ve awarded to support groundbreaking ovarian & related gyn cancer research in 2025 bit.ly/4ix1ZYE. And we’re not stopping there—stay tuned as we continue to expand our investment in research this year.

Looking forward to #AACR25! If you want to learn more about transposable elements in cancer, our educational session is at 10 am on Saturday 4/26! AACR Benjamin D. Greenbaum

Fantastic science at #AACR25 today! So inspiring to see Cancer Grand Challenges Challenges like extrachromosomal DNAs #ecDNAs 🧬⭕ (team eDyNAmiC!) and transposable elements 🦘🧬 (key for the Dark Proteome!) highlighted in the 🎓educational sessions. Really cool science being discussed 🔬!

"It is critically important that we raise our voices in support of innovative cancer science and medicine." AACR President Lillian L. Siu Patricia M. LoRusso, DO, PhD (hc), FAACR, calls on the #AACR25 delegates to stand together and call on Congress to make cancer research a national priority.

A huge congratulations to the #GWIBSFamily PhD students who earned awards at our 2025 SMHS Research Showcase last week, and a big thank-you to our faculty judges who made the tough decisions! Kevin Nestler Shatha Salameh Claudia Melo 🇩🇴🇺🇸🔬 tinyurl.com/3zt9y9ya
