1/ JUST IN: an 8 year #kidneycancer journey now published in nature: “A personalized neoantigen vaccine generates anti-tumor immunity in high-risk renal cell carcinoma”. A trial of #RCC vaccine, led together with first author David Braun Yale Cancer Center and #PatrickOtt #DerinKeskin



New in nature, researchers led by Okada Lab @ UCSF, Joe Costello, and Klebanoff_Lab show that in various cancers, including #glioma, alternative RNA splicing generates tumor-specific antigens. The findings present new targets for #immunotherapy: nature.com/articles/s4158…


It was such a wonderful experience to collaborate with such talented individuals in the Klebanoff_Lab! To many more team-up opportunities in the future 🥂🎉 #mskcc #collab #teamscience


Personalized Therapies Targeting Neoantigens: Catherine Wu, Alena Gros, and Christopher A. Klebanoff addressed this topic in a symposium at the inaugural AACR IO Conference on Discovery and Innovation in Cancer Immunology. #AACRIO25 Klebanoff_Lab


.Cancer Immunology Research editor-in-chief Philip D. Greenberg, Kole Roybal, and Christine E. Brown discuss "CAR T Cells for Solid Tumors" in a symposium at the AACR IO Conference on Discovery and Innovation in Cancer Immunology. #AACRIO25 Kole Roybal


Tumor-wide immunotherapy targets identified in new study New PICI-funded research in nature identifies a novel class of RNA splicing-derived public neoantigens—tumor-wide targets that could make T cell therapy more effective and broadly applicable. PICI Investigators at UC San Francisco

Thank you, OncoDaily IO, for the feature! Looking forward to another brilliant year of groundbreaking therapies and innovations in immuno-oncology! #CancerResearch #Neoantigens #Tcelltherapy #Immunology




Stem-like T cell populations have significant therapeutic potential and are crucial for vaccine efficacy. Joanna Groom explored ways to optimize the formation of stem-like memory T cells (TSCM).bit.ly/43MKnUb WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) #KSCancerImmune25


🚨Today in Cell, we show that RNA splicing factor mutations in myeloid cancers generate splicing-derived public neoantigens targetable by #TCR tx. Amazing collaboration co-led by Abdel-Wahab Lab, Robert K. Bradley, and Klebanoff_Lab. #Tcellpower cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
