🌡️ Drs. Benjamin Wilander and Jeff Rathmell at Vanderbilt University Medical Center propose that differences in the metabolic and stress responses between T cell subsets upon thermal stress contribute to determining #immune cell makeup and fate during #inflammation. Trends in Immunology |

We are excited to honor the incredible physician-scientist ⁦⁦Kimryn Rathmell⁩ with ⁦American Cancer Society⁩ most important award. Her passion to combine science and care to improve patient outcomes with #kidneycancer is an inspiration to us all pressroom.cancer.org/2025MedalofHon…

Guest editorial by Kimryn Rathmell: "My mentor recognized a cliff I was going to fall off before I did." cancerletter.com/guest-editoria…

Join us with Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️ and Miriam Merad, MD, PhD and Dr. Mathis for #SIS2025 at the beautiful UVA campus in Charlottesville! It’s an affordable meeting with an outstanding speaker lineup.

Please join me in congratulating Hudson Lab Alumna, Dr. KayLee Steiner KayLee Steiner, PhD on successfully defending her PhD dissertation today! Well done Dr. Steiner and Dr. Jeff Rathmell

Big congratulations to KayLee Steiner, PhD for her PhD defense! As always, KayLee goes big--tackling a poorly understood metabolic pathway in T cells (mtFAS) and with a huge bottle to celebrate after.

Great work by Sandesh Marathe and Liza Makowski Lab on GLP1 and incretin agonists and cancer! Lots to understand about these drugs. Thanks to The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research for the support! nature.com/articles/s4432…

"When I have had a rough stretch, I have often tried to reframe my situation based on the unfair experience that our cancer patients face every day," writes former NCI Director Kimryn Rathmell. cancerletter.com/guest-editoria…

Excited to officially share my thesis work on the Jeff Rathmell lab has been published in the Journal of Immunology! Thank you to all our collaborators who helped along the way. academic.oup.com/jimmunol/advan…

"One concept that creates misunderstanding is 'scientific consensus.' It’s time to stop using this shorthand and make clear what it really means," argues H. Holden Thorp in a new #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/4jH2M9C

Impactful session “Cancer at the CrossRoads” - delineating current status of funding challenges, + tangible action steps for how to help. Take home message - we all need to stand with a unified voice to share stories of the importance of #cancerresearch #AACR25

The National Academy of Sciences elected two Vanderbilt faculty to the 2025 class to recognize their distinguished and continuing achievements in research. Congratulations to Heidi Hamm (Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences) and Eric Skaar (@VUArtSci and @VUMedicine)!

This chart unfortunately says it all. NIH funding for new research grants under Trump 2025 is falling far far behind past administrations. This isn’t just slowing science - it is undermining America’s global leadership in research and innovation.

What better than ice cream to celebrate international immunology day? Yesterday we had a great time celebrating each other! Vanderbilt University Medical Center Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences

I don’t think people realize how dire the threat to American scientific research is. Whole lines of research will end. Life-saving and world-changing discoveries won’t be made. On the course we’re on it could be decades for the engine of American innovation to recover. If ever.

NIH eliminates the NCI Board of Scientific Advisors. Over its 28 year history, BSA shaped NCI-funded extramural science. cancerletter.com/news-analysis/…

Commentary: RFK Jr.'s plans for vaccine testing are highly unethical and a danger to your health. Here's why latimes.com/business/story…

PSA. They are destroying education! Students need our support now more than ever. Get creative in how we help the most vulnerable in science. Get creative in how we educate the next generation to be STEM literate.

I couldn’t ask for a better first day at the The James! Great visits to Rad Onc, BMT/Cell Therapy, Population Sciences & Community Outreach, as well as the Center for Tobacco Research on the research side. So many excellent conversations with staff I met along the way. 1/2
