Great panel, great work, rate of discovery in #braincancer accelerating thanks to @ACGTFoundation @TheMarkFdn @theNCI who fund the work discussed. Thanks @Becky_ABC for a great discussion. @EAChiocca @sheilasinghlab #GBM, #immunotherapy @PennNSG @PennMedicine.
How can we accelerate the development of effective cell and gene therapies for #GBM patients? Last week at #ACGT25, The Mark Foundation's @Becky_ABC moderated a panel of brain cancer experts tackling this tough topic. @ACGTFoundation

Great talk by the inimitable @roelverhaak today @pennvet @PennMedicine describing novel therapy-driven adaptive genomic mechanisms of resistance in #IDH mutant tumors. Roel’s ability to innovate never ceases to amaze me. Thx @WojciechPanek2 and @TimourBaslan for hosting!

Nothing more important than supporting patients with #braincancer. Nothing! Today @sixers honored my patient, Georgy Weber: survivor, mom-to-be. @pennNSG @PennCancer @NSTumorSection @NBTS @NCI are committed to cure #glioma #GBM. @TyreseMaxey work ethic captures the effort needed.
🩺@PennMedicine spotlight: . today we recognize Dr. Nduka Amankulor, a renowned brain surgeon and Director of the Penn Medicine Brain Tumor Center. Nearly 3 years ago, Dr. Amankulor performed a complex glioblastoma operation to remove a malignant brain tumor in Georgina Weber.

I dont mix family and @X but can’t help being proud of my son @noahamankulor joining the #twitterverse on his @NCAASoccer recruiting journey. Same message to Noah as i give my @PennNSG residents. Work hard, be humble, and never fear failure. @FCDELCO2.
Proud of my @FCDELCO2 U17 NAL team. We responded to our first loss in 13 games by coming out on fire today and taking care of business. A hat trick and two assists on the day. Credit to @Coach_Thames1 for motivating us. Let’s go boys! @USsoccer, @DHessDelco, @EPAYouthSoccer

Fantastic work led by my friend and collaborator @NeuroOncDoc illustrating efficacy of in vivo myeloid reprogramming to prevent #glioma. The therapeutic implications are vast! @nationwidekids @NeurosurgeryOSU @PennNSG @CellPressNews @NSTumorSection.
Check out my lab’s latest #research @CellReports, a story of reprogramming a #dynamic #tumor #microenvironment with #genetically #modified IL-2 secreting #myeloid #cells to delay #glioma #progression. #Team #science w/ @Alessan56634984, Elaine Mardis, @NdukaAmankulor @KidsOncDoc.
