Future of #neurosurgery & #neurotrauma Penn Medicine Presbyterian Medical Center just got brighter. Now we have a state-of-the-art inpatient unit just down the hall from our world class NeuroICU. Congratulations to Zarina Ali and the hospital leaders who made this happen.

Erik Spoelstra on Pat Riley Lakers statue: Pat Riley is the only one who turned head coaching into a CEO position...He should be in the Hall of Fame again as a President...he's a rock. That's why he's the Godfather. That's why we all kill ourselves for this culture #HEATNation

Great dinner last night with Penn Neurosurgery faculty and residents gathering to honor visiting Professor Ziya Gokaslan, followed by a fantastic #grandrounds today. We even got a 👍 from Ray Sawaya American University of Beirut Medical Center, the 🐐 of #Neurosurgery mentors.

Thanks to Brown Neurosurgery for loaning Ziya to us for a couple of days. Our place is buzzing with excitement in the aftermath of a great visit.

Annual Pan Philadelphia #Neurosurgery is today. For the 36th time, Penn Neurosurgery Jefferson Neurosurgery Temple Neurosurgery joined together to learn and improve, with help from a few distinguished guest speakers. Resident presentations were particularly impressive - very polished.

For the first time, Penn Medicine researchers grew #glioblastoma organoids in the lab that accurately mirrored what was happening in patients' brains as they were treated with #CARTcelltherapy. Read more about the research here: spr.ly/6014QRSnw

Now online in Cell Stem Cell, our researchers used #glioblastoma organoids to assess CAR-T clinical trial responses in real time. DrORourke Stephen Bagley Meghan Logun Yusha Sun Xin Wang Song and Ming Labs MacLean Nasrallah Daniel Zhang Emily Pai, MD PhD ➡️ spr.ly/6015Quxh9

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog! Congratulations C.D. Leganés 🇬🇧🇺🇸 C.D. Leganés, and to Jeff Luhnow - a true sports genius.

A new study led by Christina Jackson, MD of Penn Neurosurgery identifies 14 distinct immune-suppressing cell subsets in #glioblastoma tumors, shedding light on how the tumors evade the immune system and spread: spr.ly/6013aLnI7

Now out in nature, Yusha Sun, Xin Wang, and additional members of the Song and Ming Labs, BrainRepairLab (Dr. Isaac Chen Lab), and DrORourke labs introduced trans-synaptic tracing tools from circuit neuroscience to study the whole-brain connectome of glioblastoma. ➡️ spr.ly/6011a7Fqc

Great to hear Jim Schuster, the heart and soul of Penn Neurosurgery, featured on a terrific@NSGYPodcast about the #Rocky movies. My only complaint - don’t you think you owe Paulie a shoutout? Of course Rocky would respond, “Nobody owes nobody nothin'. You owe yourself.” #PHL
