Farewell to Andy Tang, new Yale University graduate. He used #MADM to decipher (surprising) in vivo functional differences of p53 mutants with Sherry Su and presented at #AACR. His scientific growth and commitment were inspiring! Excited for his future in medicine.Yale Cancer Biology Institute Yale Cancer Center


Congratulations to Dr. Mandar Muzumdar Muzumdar Lab on his 3-year Department of Defense 🇺🇸 grant to study the relationship between #stress and the development of #pancreaticcancer. Smilow Cancer Hospital Yale School of Medicine Yale New Haven Hosp Center for Gastrointestinal Cancers


Congrats to newly minted Dr. Cathy C Garcia for successfully defending her PhD thesis and giving a stellar presentation on mechanisms of endocrine-exocrine signaling in #PancreaticCancer! Yale Department of Genetics Yale Cancer Center Yale Cancer Biology Institute Lustgarten Foundation


What an amazing lightning talk by Diana Martínez-Saucedo at #AACRpan24. Technical issues and no slides didn’t stop her from promoting her work on TMAB, a novel antibody that can deliver nucleic acids to tumors w/ #GlazerLab! Yale Cancer Center Yale School of Medicine


Amazing back-to-back talks by our own Cathy C Garcia and Christian F. Ruiz at #AACRPan24 on mechanisms of obesity-driven #PancreaticCancer in the cachexia, diet, and metabolism session! Yale Cancer Center Yale Department of Genetics Yale Cancer Biology Institute Lustgarten Foundation


Brilliant talk by Jash Datta, MD describing a tour de force set of experiments showing the importance of neutrophils in therapy resistance in #PancreaticCancer. True bench to bedside work from a role model surgeon-scientist! #AACRpan24


Cachexia, Diet, and Metabolism: Teresa A. Zimmers, Andrew E. Hendifar, Tobias Janowitz, Cathy Garcia, and Christian Ruiz addressed this topic in a plenary session at #AACRpan24. Teresa Zimmers Dr. Andrew Hendifar Tobias Janowitz Cathy C Garcia Christian F. Ruiz


Great talks by Cathy C Garcia and Christian F. Ruiz from the Muzumdar Lab about their amazing work looking at beta-cell driven #PDAC and fatty acid metabolism in #PDAC at #AACRpan24 Yale School of Medicine Yale Cancer Center Yale Department of Genetics

Postdoctoral fellow Natasha Medici gave a fabulous lightning talk and poster about her work of #SF3B1 and #RBM10, two RNA splicing factors, in #pancreaticcancer #AACRpan24


Preprint from Muzumdar Lab Yale Cancer Center doing a deep dive on endocrine-exocrine crosstalk in #PancreaticCancer and in particular how OBESITY modifies this interaction Beta cells are essential drivers of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma development biorxiv.org/content/10.110… So much


Excited to share our preprint confirming an essential role of the oft forgotten beta cell in #PancreaticCancer development. Yale Cancer Center Yale Cancer Biology Institute Yale Department of Genetics biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Celebrating another fun year in the lab at our annual holiday potluck and gift swap. Happy holidays and happy new year from our lab family to yours! Looking forward to an exciting 2025! Yale Cancer Biology Institute Yale Department of Genetics Yale Cancer Center Yale West Campus





Way to go, Gigi Ge, for a fantastic talk on how #PI3K governs resistance to #KRAS inhibition in #PancreaticCancer cells FASEB Protein Phosphorylation! Yale Pathology Yale Cancer Center Yale Cancer Biology Institute Bhattacharyya Lab Natalia Jura. Check out her preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Stellar flash talk and poster presentation on #ubiquitination regulators in #KRAS inhibitor resistance by our own #CassieMarkham FASEB Protein Phosphorylation! Yale Department of Genetics Yale Cancer Center Yale Cancer Biology Institute


🎉 So proud of my wife Natasha Medici on her latest co–first author paper in @ScienceTransMed! 🚀 Her team introduces TMAB3 — a tumor-targeted, RNA-binding antibody that delivers RNA directly into tumors after systemic injection. 📖 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Really enjoyed reading that Journal Club piece by Nicole Lake, interesting perspectives on a seminal, transformative paper 🤓 nature.com/articles/s4157…
