Thank you, Dana-Farber! I'm so grateful and excited to use this award to push the boundaries of epigenomic liquid biopsy to improve cancer care.

Join us! Our division (Dana-Farber Division of Population Sciences) Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School is hiring at the assistant/associate prof level. Under the fantastic leadership of Eli Van Allen, this division has been such a supportive place to launch a career in cancer research.


Honored to be awarded best poster at the International Society of Liquid Biopsy #ISLB24 Annual Congress for our work using a novel epigenomic liquid biopsy platform to detect PSMA expression and predict Pluvicto response in mCRPC.

Congrats Allison Fitzgerald, MD, PhD! Dana Farber is lucky to have you join!


Beautiful work on profiling prostate cancer epigenomes from plasma to reveal clinical subtypes: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39652574/ Congratulations, @researchwyatt, David Takeda, and team! Still amazes me what a detailed view of gene regulation in cancer cfChIP-seq provides.

Thank you Dana-Farber Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology! Congrats to Jeremiah Wala and Bill Lotter, and my deep gratitude to the Wong Family for helping us improve cancer care!

So proud of mentees Razane El Hajj Chehade, Karl Semaan, MD, MSc, Rashad Nawfal, MD, and Marc Eid for their fantastic talks at ASCO #GU25. Their translational projects should lead to better outcomes for patients with kidney or prostate cancer.


So excited for you, Karl Semaan, MD, MSc and thrilled you'll be staying in the neighborhood at Brigham and Women's Medicine Residents. It's a testament to the incredible hard work you've put in over the last two years in lab. Looking forward to collaborations to come!


Excited to share this molecular case report in npj Journals led by Karl Semaan, MD, MSc and Rashad Nawfal, MD. I expect to see more of this rare resistance mechanism with advances in AR-targeting therapy. Great colab with @Jberchuck, Toni Choueiri, MD, and #MattFreedman. nature.com/articles/s4169…
