Congrats to MD Anderson-UTH Grad student in the lab Yuejiang Liu for receiving the American Legion Auxiliary Fellowship for her work on role of inflammation propagated by gut #microbiome alterations on #lungcancer development. Very proud of you, Cindy!


Excited to share our latest work! 📖 🔍 Mapping the earliest events of lung carcinogenesis to pave the way for cancer interception. 💡🫁 Sarah Mazzilli Humam Kadara Nature Reviews Cancer #CancerResearch #LungCancer #NSCLC


After 16 papers and wonderful moments in science, our superstar postdoc fellow is on to her next step in what is a surely glorious career. Here we are discussing science even on a nice Saturday morning. Onwards and upwards Zahraa Rahal. I’m so proud of you 🙏.


HUGE congratulations to Linghua Wang, MD, PhD & team for her latest Cancer Cell study Integrative analyses of over 14 million cells from 10 cancer types across 7 spatial transcriptomics and proteomics platforms identifies four distinct spatial CAF subtypes conserved across cancer types


🙏 I am very grateful to be awarded the Elza A. and Ina Shackelford Freeman Endowed Professorship at MD Anderson Cancer Center . Many thanks to trainees, colleagues, mentors, friends and family who continue to inspire me in my journey.

Please check out Zahraa Rahal minisymposium presentation (abstract 6384) at #AACR25 in which she finds a target that mediates development of KRAS-mutant #lungcancer and response to KRAS-targeted therapy

In a presentation at #AACR25, Dr. Zahraa Rahal shared research that found protein CD24 promotes development of KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma and contributes to KRAS inhibitor resistance. Read more: bit.ly/4iNWGDL Zahraa Rahal #EndCancer


Honored to present our work around the identification of #CREM as a regulatory checkpoint of CAR and cytokine signaling at #AACR25. Grateful to Katy Rezvani, M.D., Ph.D for her support over the years and to MD Anderson Cancer Center for being the best place for #cancerresearch. Excited to advance this

Congratulations dear Yuejiang Liu for receiving an F31 predoctoral fellowship from the NCI. Very proud of you Cindy!


(1/9) Thrilled and honored to share our NatureRevClinOncol comprehensive review dissecting the crosstalk between non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its tumour microenvironment (TME), and how it drives progression & response to therapy. ➡️ nature.com/articles/s4157…


🧬 New NatureRevClinOncol review breaks down the NSCLC tumor microenvironment: ▪️CAFs, cytokines, checkpoints ▪️From cold to hot & back again ▪️Resistance, remodeling and response nature.com/articles/s4157… 🌪️ Immunity isn’t a solo — it’s a crosstalk concerto 🎻 Listen closely.
