Midweek momentum in the lab: isolating & culturing T cells from KRAS-mutant pancreatic tumors đź§Ş These cells will power our co-culture assays to dissect T cell-mediated tumor killing. Flow cytometry underway. #GIonc #KRAS #TumorImmunology #LabLife #CancerResearch

One of my favorite moments at #ASCO25—standing under this global display at McCormick Place. A reminder that oncology is a global effort—and every clinical insight, every T cell, every patient matters. #GIonc #ColorectalCancer #CancerResearch #ASCO2025

🔥 Our T cell cultures are not just surviving — they’re killing in highly specific ways! Thrilled to see robust activity and gearing up for even more sophisticated experiments. #Immunotherapy #CancerResearch #Tcells
