Shining the spotlight on women researchers who are killin' it in #cancer research. Making the list are UC San Diego UC San Diego Bioengineering grad students Yijia Pan, Molly Allen & Yiqian Wu for developing a way to remotely control immune cells to fight cancer #WomeninSTEM tun.com/blog/women-kil…
Back-to-back virtual defenses by Shreyas Dahotre and Ian Miller. Congrats to the newly minted PhDs and founding members of our lab!
Proud of IanMiller Ali Zamat and team on this work in Nature Biomedical Engineering! We show that thermal control of CAR T cells markedly improves tumor therapy and reduces relapse rates Coulter BME | Emory & Georgia Tech Shout out also to Saul “Cancer Asskicker” Priceman and lab members for a great collaborative study!

Technology that builds on mRNA-based #COVID19 vaccines may help treat influenza and some cancers, according to new research in Science Advances. fcld.ly/9b75q8z
How many different types of T cells are in our body? 100s of millions in fact! Led by Ida Su in collaboration with Philip J. Santangelo and Rafi Ahmed - we use light to produce lipid nanoparticles that can deliver mRNA only to T cells that are specific for disease Science Advances
Tumors are uncanny masters of disguise—evolved to outsmart immunity. Now out in Nature Cancer, our team engineered a flag🚩—what we call a synthetic antigen—to engage CAR T cells and kickstart antitumor immunity. More here👇🏼tinyurl.com/syntag1 1/
This concept - killing tumors that are hiding from the immune system - is what inspired me to join Professor Gabe Kwong’s lab to start my PhD. Working with Gabe and the extremely talented Lena Gamboa to showcase this work is only the beginning. Stay tuned 👀
