Very happy to share our pre-print reporting interactions between NF1 and NF2 driving Schwann cell tumor de-differentiation and treatment resistance.

Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in The New Yorker newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

Federally funded research should be freely accessible to the American public. From environmental justice to cancer breakthroughs to more sustainable farming, immediate access to America’s research jumpstarts innovation everywhere. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

This is HUGE! Major win for #OpenAccess

Our collaboration with the Schmitt lab Memorial Sloan Kettering Radiation Oncology is online! Happy to have helped with some Hedgehog things and some bioinformatic things with Harish Vasudevan to elucidate how lncRNAs can influence brain cancer stem cells. pnas.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

#meningioma has many grouping systems but consensus architecture is needed for new treatments/trials. Very happy to collaborate with Wenya Linda Bi Akash Patel Sahm Lab Stephen Magill MD, PhD on this paper!

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions. By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/5…

Excited to finally be able to share my work post peer-review on inflammatory reactive astrocytes! nature.com/articles/s4159…

2 #schwannoma pre-prints! RaleighLab and lead author John Liu, MD PhD identify epigenetic mechanisms underlying schwannoma molecular groups: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Meanwhile, Albert H. Kim finds nerve injury-like cell states distinguish schwannoma cells: biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

We're so excited to welcome the newest members of UC San Francisco Neurosurgery! Congratulations to John Bernabei, MD, PhD (John Bernabei) , Sravani Kondapavulur, MD, PhD (Sravani Kondapavulur), and Mahmoud Elguindy, MD, PhD (Mahmoud Elguindy) 🎉🎉 #Match2023 #MatchDay #Neurosurgery

Super excited for this next step in my physician-scientist journey! And incredibly grateful for all the people who have supported me along the way. Wouldn't be here without my time at RaleighLab.

It’s dissertation day in RaleighLab!! Congratulations Dr. Vikas Daggubati!! UCSF Neurosurgery UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr UC San Francisco
