Trio of studies, including this, ours & Ross Levine group. Tumor-infiltrating clonal hematopoiesis (TI-CH or CH-Tum) leads to: -worse cancer outcomes -inflammatory TME shaped by CH myeloid cells -potentially targetable changes sciencedirect.com/science/articl… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…






Excited to announce our latest preprint is finally out! Huge collaborative work shared with Murtaza S. Nagree and supervised by Stephanie Xie! 😍 Check it here! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… University of Toronto University Health Network Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

Scientists Cell Press reviewed 408 YouTube clips of sleeping cats and found 2/3 curled up on their left side. Here’s the neuroscience behind why:🧵 (Please watch their video abstract I put on the last post - it’s 100% worth it)


🚨 New paper in Nature Genetics ! How does cancer chemotherapy reshape the HSC landscape and drive the evolution of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms? We uncovered this process through single-colony WGS! See the full paper here! nature.com/articles/s4158…


Collaborative work online now Cell Stem Cell provides insight into how mutant immune cells can help mitigate Alzheimer’s disease. Tet2-mutant myeloid cells are able to infiltrate the brain and clear β-amyloid, slowing cognitive decline. cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

Congrats & thanks to Katherine King & Katie Matatall Katherine King MDPhD for inviting us to this collaboration Cell Stem Cell. Also to Alex McDonald, Marco Buttigieg , Caitlyn Vlasschaert & Susan Crocker Queen's Health Sciences Translational Medicine Graduate Program Queen's MD/PhD . Our funding from #NFRF SSHRC, CIHR

I'm honoured to share that I've been selected as part of the final CIHR #VanierCanada CGS cohort! Very grateful for the support from my supervisors Michael Rauh and Rob Vanner, as well as family, friends, and mentors from along the way!

Germline genetic variation has been linked to both hematologic cancer and clonal hematopoiesis. But does germline variation influence the likelihood of CH progressing to cancer? And if so, why? We tackle these questions here in Nature Genetics nature.com/articles/s4158…

Delighted to share an updated review and our perspectives on clonal hematopoiesis and cancer in Nature Cancer in collaboration with Xiurong Cai and Bobby Bowman: rdcu.be/ewN62

We're super excited to announce the 10 recipients of our Sinclair Cancer Research Institute INAUGURAL 2025 Sinclair Graduate Scholars in Cancer Research awardees. Bravo and congratulations to Kaytlin, Marco, Simona, Samantha, Natasha, Monica, Fatin, Ashley, Laura & Julian!!!!
