Now online in @CD_AACR: Sucralose Consumption Ablates Cancer Immunotherapy Response through Microbiome Disruption - by @itstherealKM, Madison Nguyen, Drew Wilfahrt, @diwakardavar, @OveracreLab, and colleagues https://t.co/4EydpP2hDU @UPMCHillmanCC @PittTweet

I am thrilled to finally share my lab's first paper showing that sucralose consumption reduces immunotherapy efficacy in cancer, published NOW in @CD_AACR ! Let's break it down. 1/n https://t.co/B85rLv9HDD

First paper ACCEPTED from the lab! More details coming soon—until then, time to celebrate!

Today the Overacre Lab turned THREE! A huge thanks to all of our supporters, mentors, and most of all, these amazing people who work tirelessly to find new cures for cancer. #microbiome #cancer

AOC: When I was 16 years old, my dad was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. His prognosis was not good. The doctors said that with the treatments they had, their options were limited, but there was an experimental trial. For millions across this country—whose child has a

Conservatively it cost taxpayers ~$10M for Trump to attend and be booed at the Super Bowl a few hours last night. That’s enough for FIVE 5-year R01 grants (plus 2024 level of indirects). Five labs studying important questions in biomedical science until 2030. Govt Efficiency?!

Wow. Such an honor to receive the #SITC2024 Presidential Award. Congratulations to all the awardees tonight on awesome science, and thank you to the meeting organizers! 👩‍🔬🎉

So proud of my postdoc @itzdipyaman on an exceptional talk in the SITC Presidential Session on mouse models of irAEs and uncovering potential drivers in ICI patients. @sitcancer @UPMCHillmanCC #microbiome

It’s almost the 4 year anniversary of a very historic day.

Are you going to #SITC24 ? If you want to hear about some sweet data from @OveracreLab then come see our presentation on Saturday!

Had the best time at the #PITTIMM2024 retreat. We took home two poster awards and got an elevator talk! Way to go @Kate_Wolfgang_ @itstherealKM and @jessica_jana_

5 abstracts submitted for @sitcancer Annual Meeting this year! 💪 #microbiome #immunotherapy

Thank you @Cornell @WeillCornell for the invitation to share our work on diet, the microbiome, and immunotherapy at their intercampus immunology symposium. Such great science all week! #microbiome #womeninSTEM

My only motivation to work hard

Reposting because it’s my two year anniversary here with @OveracreLab ! Time flies when you’re having fun
