MS was long believed to be driven by T cells, until one scientist followed the clues to a different immune cell. His bold biomedical research led to game-changing therapies and earned him the 2025 Breakthrough.


🔈 Benoit Bruneau Benoit Bruneau, invited speaker at #ICDB2025, leads the field in studying chromatin architecture and heart development. A must-hear talk for anyone in gene regulation and morphogenesis! ❤️🧬


Karin Pelka (Karin Pelka 🦋 @pelkalab.bsky.social) and her interdisciplinary team are working to create novel immune-driven therapies that treat—and possibly even cure—the most widespread form of colorectal cancer. Colorectal Cancer Alliance UC San Francisco gladstone.org/news/karin-pel…

Sukrit Silas and his colleagues discovered that a well-known defense system in some bacteria can kill the cell as a last resort if viruses try to thwart it. Read more about this recent study: bit.ly/43aHSKC UC San Francisco Molecular Cell

T cells don’t act alone. The immune system’s response to cancer depends on multicellular “hubs” — coordinated networks of immune and non-immune cells. Karin Pelka 🦋 @pelkalab.bsky.social (Gladstone Institutes) has been awarded the 2025 AAAS Wachtel Award for uncovering these hubs, and revealing why some tumors
