Thanks to VCCC Alliance & The Picchi Brothers Foundation for supporting my attendance to #KSTCells25 in Vancouver, 🇨🇦 and my visit to Katy Rezvani, M.D., Ph.D MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, 🇺🇸. Had an amazing time immersed in incredible research, friendships and new collaborations!

Absolutley stunning work. 😍 Congrats Belkaid Lab & team!!

Our latest study, led by Susan Christo, shows CD47 × PD-L1 bispecific antibodies enhance tumor-resident CD8+ T cell responses, boosting anti-tumor immunity. Grateful to partner with Pfizer Oncology Medical to advance cancer research! 🔬 Doherty Institute onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Thank you Dr. Pisters - it was an honor to share the progress being made at the Institute for Cell Therapy Discovery & Innovation! Very grateful to Greater Houston Partnership for the opportunity to showcase our efforts to bring transformative cell therapies to patients. Looking forward to

Amazing & so well deserved!! Congrats Mackay Lab 🙌🥳

Very excited to share our latest research article published with Springer Nature in Nature Communications. We show that in early #MDS, NK cells share mutations with the malignant clones, becoming dysfunctional and failing to eliminate aberrant stem cells. This leads to immune evasion and
