Congratulations to Cancer Biology PhD candidate Dylan Calhoon (Garcia-Bermudez Lab) on earning first place at the One Health Collaborative Symposium poster session at UTSW. Strong work in translational science. #UTSouthwestern #CancerBiology

Excited to host Dr. Mikala Egeblad at the next #KomenBreastCancerForum 11/19- 9am NB-5.124 @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWCancerBio @UTSWScience @UTSW_Pathology @UTSWMolBiol @utswimmuno @megeblad @JohnsHopkins @AriellaHanker @QingZhangLab #InnateImmunity #Metastasis #TMEhost See you all !!

This week’s #WIPS: Shawn (Chan Lab) unpacked the KEAP1–NRF2 axis in T-cell immunotherapy; metabolic adaptation, stem-like CD8⁺ persistence, and RCC implications for checkpoint blockade. 🔬🧬 #CancerBiology #Immunotherapy #UTSW

This week’s #WIPS: Kerelos (Yao Lab) on the KEAP1–NRF2 axis in T-cell immunotherapy; how KEAP1 sustains stem-like CD8⁺ cells under chronic stimulation, and how tuning NRF2 could boost anti-tumor immunity in RCC and responses to checkpoint blockade. 🔬🧬 #CancerBiology #UTSW

Cancer Biology Retreat Agenda! October 24, 2025.

🦠 Tarun Srinivasan (Koh Lab) The gut microbiota drives a retinoid relay from epithelial to myeloid to T cells in lymph nodes. This 3-day pathway, triggered by SAA proteins, guides T-cell programming and shows how microbes shape gut adaptive immunity. #WIPS #UTSW

🧬 Emma Aleksandrovic (Zhang Lab) Early disseminated tumor cells in ovarian cancer depend on IFNγ signaling for survival and niche adaptation. Loss of Ifngr1 cuts metastasis and boosts survival, revealing an IFNγ–macrophage axis that shields DTCs from anoikis. #WIPs #UTSW

Shout out and a huge thank you to Professor and Department Chair Samuel Achilefu, Ph.D., for introducing the Wallace H Coulter Award & Athanasiou Medal of Excellence Plenary Session this afternoon!

This week’s #UTSWCancerBio WIP: Tanner Reese (Malladi Lab) Investigating Molecular & Cellular Heterogeneity in TNBC Brain Metastases Developing new TNBC brain metastasis models to uncover subtype-specific mechanisms and identify novel gene targets for therapy. #BreastCancer #UTSW

This week’s #UTSWCancerBio WIP: Stefi Moye (Levi Lab) Obesity Drives Aberrant Lipid Metabolism to Promote Heterotopic Ossification Revealing how high-fat diet–induced inflammation and lipid signaling lead to abnormal bone formation after injury. #Metabolism #Inflammation #UTSW

This week’s #UTSWCancerBio WIP: Dohun Kim (Hoxhaj Lab) NAD Kinase Maintains Epidermal Homeostasis Uncovering how NADPH metabolism preserves skin barrier integrity and redox balance; linking metabolism to epidermal health. #CancerResearch #Metabolism

This week’s #UTSWCancerBio WIP: Mark Mannino (Morrison Lab) Type I Interferons & Metastatic Potential in Melanoma Exploring how IFN signaling heterogeneity shapes melanoma metastasis and immune evasion through PD-L1 & CD47 pathways. #CancerResearch #Immunology #Melanoma
