Congrats Tuomas Tammela lab, Xueqian Zhuang, et al., on a beautiful study and a bit of silver lining re aging & cancer! This raises a fascinating concept that mutagenic carcinogens are key risk factors of youth, but those that promote inflammation may be key in our golden years.

Excited to share a major breakthrough from the lab! D&D-seq is a new technology that bridges a key gap in single-cell multi-omics/genomics : the ability to map DNA:Protein (e.g., TFs or chromatin remodellers). Led by Ivan Raimondi, Wei-Yu Chi and Sang-Ho Yoon

Excited to share our review that’s now out in Science Immunology. We describe how DC-T cell interactions in lymph nodes specify CD8+ T cell fates and sustain anti-tumour immune responses. Stefani Spranger Koch Institute at MIT | science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

How does cancer immunotherapy work, and who are the best candidates? New research from CSHL and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) gives us some insight into the possible effectiveness of this treatment. cshl.edu/videos/is-canc…

Francis Collins resigned from NIH yesterday. He rightly pointed out that it's Human Genome Project revolutionized every aspect of biomedical research. He points out that NIH has historically been sens as high priority and non partisan. 1/

To learn more about some of the new models we’ve developed to deconstruct benign-to-malignant transition, please check out the very talented Leonie Qin’s poster (# LB475), session 54 no. 12 Wed morning. Her thesis work has been integral to this project!

Out now in Cancer Discovery and featured #AACR25, we show a combinatorial approach to overcome resistance to RAS(ON) inhibitor monotherapy in PDAC, where use of CDK4/6 inhibitor Palbociclib and CD40 agonist drives therapy-induced senescence & CD4 T cell-dependent tumor-immune equilibrium

Today, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) called on Congress to reject the Administration's nearly 40% cut to the NIH budget and allocate a bipartisan funding increase to $51.3 billion for the agency to accelerate progress for patients. brnw.ch/21wSrQk
