First, good news in the fight against #pancreaticcancer! ASPIRE awardee Ben Greenbaum (Benjamin D. Greenbaum) of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center found that an mRNA neoantigen vaccine induces long-lived CD8+ T cells (potentially lasting decades!), which may delay recurrence. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Great to chat with Science Friday and Flora Lichtman! Link to audio below.



I had a fun time chatting with Derek Thompson about cancer vaccines. Check it out.

Pancreatic cancer — a disease with a 90% mortality rate — has long been a grim diagnosis. But that may be changing. Meet Vinod Balachandran, the lead researcher behind a groundbreaking mRNA vaccine that’s transforming the outlook for patients. Credits : Richard Hanania


I am moved by the passion and expertise of the remarkable team at the Olayan Center for Cancer Vaccines (Olayan CCV) and was excited to celebrate their continued work at the Olayan CCV Open House. The standing room-only event brought together Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center cancer vaccine



MSK researchers are trying to understand how the immune system senses cancer in order to make better #immunotherapies. "If we can figure out generally what the immune system is sensing — and how it affects how cancers grow, spread, and adapt," says Benjamin D. Greenbaum, a computational



đź’ˇ Vinod Balachandran, Director of the Olayan Center for Cancer Vaccines at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, will explain how mRNA vaccine technology is transforming cancer treatment.


Congratulations Chrysothemis Brown! Fantastic!!

Excited to share our study describing a role for a subset of Thetis cells, TC IV, in tolerance to food antigens. A team effort led by Vanja Cabric and Yollanda Parisotto 🧵 1/ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
