A new paper shows that personalized pancreatic cancer vaccines can keep patients cancer-free for YEARS - an incredible outcome for a cancer with only a 7% 5-year survival rate.

Linoleic acid is the most abundant polyunsaturated fatty acid in the Western-style diet and has been implicated in promoting inflammation and cancer. In Science, researchers report a mechanism by which linoleic acid can activate the mTORC1 protein kinase, which coordinates

Exciting new study showing that the fatty acid Octanoic acid impacts breast epithelial cell metabolic-epigenetic crosstalk, priming cells towards an ERneg BC profile, along with a suspicious neural-like differentiation. Grateful to have played a small part! Congrats Mariana!

Excited to share our first lab paper, now published in Developmental Cell! 🧠 How do glioblastoma (GBM) cells invade the brain, and what enables them to spread so effectively?

Standing ovation at ⁦ASCO⁩ for the Challenge Trial. Take a look at this comparison of the magnitude of the exercise effect from Challenge versus multiple drug effects.

I’m thrilled to share that the main work of my PhD has been published Cancer Cell! With Matthias Mann Lab & Ernst Lengyel, we analyzed the progression from ovarian serous borderline tumors to invasive cancer using spatial proteo-transcriptomics and identified new therapeutic targets.

In Science, researchers present a new method to safely and preferentially generate CAR T cells directly inside the body using targeted lipid nanoparticles that deliver mRNA directly to T cells. The approach showed rapid and sustained immune reprogramming in preclinical models,

So excited to share this with you all!😃Rama Khokha and I revisit a core assumption in cancer biology: is tumour heterogeneity a reflection of disorganization? Our thoughts on how self-organization shapes tumour tissues, and why that matters for oncology: nature.com/articles/s4156…
