With her Lupus Research grant, Dr. Theresa Lu and colleagues at HSS found that one type of skin cell that protects the skin during sun exposure is less abundant and does not work properly in people with #lupus.

Excited to start this new chapter and thankful for everyone who helped me get here!

New preprint from Theresa Lu Lab assessing the role of interferon acting on Langerhans cell ADAM17 in lupus photosensitivity! Thank you to all authors and collaborators involved for bringing this project to life: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Victoria Zyulina Ethan Seltzer Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS)

We’re thrilled to share that we’re launching a new @CZBiohub in New York! Bringing together engineers + scientists at Columbia University, Rockefeller University and Yale University, #CZBiohubNY will engineer immune cells for earlier detection & treatment of disease

Congratulations to my amazing colleague and friend Thomas M. Li!

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this work with Thomas M. Li and many amazing collaborators!

Our paper in nature is out! We demonstrate that sensory neurons drive breast cancer metastasis via paracrine signaling mediated by substance-P. Fortunate to work with such a great team lead by Sohail Tavazoie and Veena Padmanaban with support from Isabel Keller @benostendorf & more

Researchers in Sohail Tavazoie's lab found a “neuro-cancer axis” that may promote the spread of breast cancer. They also found that an FDA-approved anti-nausea medication may prevent it: bit.ly/3WAit8Q #RockefellerScience

The sorts of nerve that allow people to touch, see, hear and taste can help breast cancer cells to infiltrate other regions of the body go.nature.com/4dbmyXT

Imagine nerves as highways that help cancer cells spread, but a common anti-nausea drug can act like a roadblock to slow this down. nature.com/articles/s4158… Veena Padmanaban Sohail Tavazoie Isabel Keller Ethan Seltzer @benostendorf

Had an amazing time at the NIH this week sharing and learning about the great research being done by my fellow junior investigators! #NCIJI2024

Good luck to Rockefeller's Marina Caskey (marinacaskey), Julia Losner, Brian Oh, Ethan Seltzer (Ethan Seltzer), Taylor Wallace, Mahsa Shirani Faradonbeh, and all other runners in the TCS New York City Marathon this Sunday! 🏃🏽 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🏃🏽‍♂️

EXCITED to share my PhD work in Cell. We found that the chance of developing metastasis is partly decided by the DNA we inherited. We identified a germline variant in PCSK9 present in 70% of the white women conferring higher risk of breast cancer metastasis. (1/9)
