Congratulations to Alexander Huang, MD, assistant professor of Hematology-Oncology, who will be recognized as the 2025 Early Career Investigator Honoree at the Friends of @AACR Foundation’s Party with a Purpose celebrating advances in melanoma research.

After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever

We congratulate @AACR_CEO Margaret Foti, PhD, MD (hc), who was named one of Greater Philadelphia's Most Admired CEOs of 2025 by the Philadelphia Business Journal. Dr. Foti and her fellow honorees will be recognized at a special event in Philadelphia on December 9. @PHLBizJournal

Congratulations! So well deserved!!

Thrilled to share that I’ll be joining the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania! Our lab will be relocating to the Department of Pharmacology in Jan ’26. We’re hiring at all levels—reach out if you’re interested! @Penn @PennMedicine

Why science matters. Vaccines don’t just protect us against infectious diseases. Studies have found that many vaccines may be associated with a reduced risk of dementia.

#AACRimmunity25 cochairs Ana C. Anderson, Sandra Demaria, Kunle Odunsi, and @EJohnWherry adjourned the AACR Conference on Mechanisms of Cancer Immunity and Cancer-related Autoimmunity. We thank the chairs for developing an outstanding program. @AnaAndersonlab @KunleOdunsiMD

This statement is insane. We only have approved vaccines for 30 diseases (but have many for the same disease). To even come close to what RFK says, kids would have to get all 26 approved vaccines for flu plus ebola, rabies, dengue vaccines. Does not happen!

Seems like a good day to post this. But, you know, sometimes there's not even a correlation.....

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose. Don’t listen to the utter nonsense emanating from the highest office in the land today. Speak to your medical provider.

Healthy blood cells can live without ARHGAP45—but acute myeloid leukemia cells can’t. 🩸 Junwei Shi, PhD, Associate Professor of Cancer Biology (@junwei_s) and team show a CAR T + CDC42 inhibition strategy could target AML with minimal side effects. https://t.co/2mD0DW5rQs

We should be giving FREE “Golden Science Visas” to every smart AI researcher, biologists, mathematicians, materials scientists, physicists, and all other top scientists. And their families. Even if they don’t apply. We need the best and brightest in USA.

Registration is open! Oct 3–4 @ PA Convention Center, Philadelphia. The 2nd Annual Advancing Precision Medicine Conference: "Advances in Precision Oncology: From Genomics to Targeted Therapies" is free and in person. Ft. Nobel Laureate Dr. Kaelin.

At 3600 Civic Center Blvd, @EJohnWherry welcomed Good Morning Philadelphia to @PennMedicine's new hub for hundreds of researchers in immune health, infectious disease, population health data sciences, and others engaged in cross-disciplinary collaboration. https://t.co/z8By0e15le

We are looking to hire post-docs to work on T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection using murine and NHP models. If you know T cells and wanna work on the top infectious killer check us out. The NIH intramural program is an amazing place!

Here’s the full address just delivered by Utah’s @GovCox . It is, quite honestly, one of the most powerful speeches I’ve ever heard from a politician, or anyone, for that matter. Please sit down for 10 minutes and listen. You won’t regret it, I promise.

This is actually a good statement from Bernie Sanders Worth the watch

More than 23.5 million Americans are impacted by autoimmune diseases. A new home opens as an epicenter for pioneering Penn Medicine research aimed at “breaking the immunological code” of these diseases and bringing them to heel. https://t.co/UxgMsztJHp
