Man… hit while listening to the game on the radio while playing catch with my kid just after talking about 9/11. What a moment. #GoYankees

If you told me when I was at @aucmed that I'd apply for an R01 - much less that it would score so well that it would converted to an R37 MERIT award - I dont know what I'd have said. This ones for the Caribbean school grads! And thanks to @seattlechildren and the @NIH! #EndDIPG

Incredible to see even very young children w/ #DIPG tolerating dozens of doses of intracranial #CARTcells. It's an honor to be trusted with the care of our patients & we are thrilled that some are thriving, but will keep working hard to enhance our program to help more children.
Gavin wasn’t expected to live past age 3, but today he’s a thriving kindergartener! Thanks to an innovative #CARTcell therapy trial at Seattle Children's, led by @VitanzaNick, MD, Gavin is living his best life. Learn more about Gavin’s journey: https://t.co/Kj279tyCeu

Will share more soon, but honored on behalf of our @seattlechildren team & our very brave patients to share in @NatureMedicine the first phase 1 trial of repeated intracranial B7-H3 CAR T cells and our very encouraging experience caring for patients with #DIPG.
Phase 1 trial results of intracerebroventricular B7-H3 CAR T cells for children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma shows repeat treatment is feasible & well tolerated, with a median overall survival of 19.8 months & 3 patients surviving over 40 months. https://t.co/LCyAbL9s26

After thinking about my immigrant mother (a Republican who voted for Obama and would #VoteKamala), I’ll blow out my candle and go to bed with hope that tomorrow we choose a future that is safer for women and a future that invests in the health of our children. #VoteBlue 🇺🇸♥️

Meanwhile, @RobertKennedyJr would have you believe these vaccines are too dangerous.
HPV vaccines offer a rare opportunity to effectively eliminate cervical cancer. By taking this opportunity, it’s possible to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year.

If you havent already voted, please make a plan to #Vote tomorrow!! Help your neighbors and employees make a plan. As someone dedicated to the health of children, we can’t risk a man who doesn’t believe in science and his antivax sidekick in charge. ❤️🔬 #KamalaHarris2024 🔬❤️
