🔥🔥 THE VOSS LAB IS HIRING 🔥🔥 We are looking for Research Technicians and Specialists who are interested in learning about the immune system and iron metabolism to build our team in Charlottesville, VA. @uvapharmacology. Please RT!

It's out! @JackieEBader led our new @TheMarkFdn Endeavor team study showing obesity promotes PD-1 on macrophages to suppress anti-tumor immunity but sensitize to checkpoint therapy--a new mechanism of the cancer "obesity paradox" @VUMC_VCI @VUMC_Cancer https://t.co/LJiiEalmJv

Additional evidence that tumor genetics can reprogram #RCC tumor microenvironment. Great work by @melissa_m_wolf thrilled to be part of this team, don’t forget the macrophages!

Very happy that @melissa_m_wolf's paper on how loss of VHL in kidney cancer cells reshapes the tumor immune microenvironment to recruit suppressive macrophages & point to a new immunotherapy target in RCC is out in @jclinicalinvest @VUMC_Cancer @VUMC_VCI https://t.co/Qeut9uyn0Y

I’m proud to have studied #KidneyCancer in my career. A recent discovery (with Frank Mason @VUMCDiscoveries) shows a new way to think about genomic instability in cancer, due to mutation in SETD2. #KidneyCancerAwarenessMonth https://t.co/Bh43eXPi9W

I can’t put into words how exceptionally lucky I feel to have been mentored by @KimrynRathmell for my PhD studies these last 5 years. Thank you for your leadership, kindness, and unwavering support. We’re all in better hands now.

The last IKCSNA was my first conference as a patient. I nervously sat at the back of the room not wanting to intrude and unsure how I’d be received. That only made standing at the front of the room to introduce @kidneycoa even more meaningful this year. As I make my way back

@kaydaustin

The Rathmell labs are having a great time and learning a lot about #kidneycancer at #IKCSNA23 #Rsquared 🧡

Just over midway through an inspiring and informative #IKCSNA23 meeting. Kudos to the organizers and @KidneyCancer - research, discovery, outcomes, mentorship, community building - the future is bright for #RCC

Great hearing @kaydaustin share her inspiring story with metastatic #RCC and patient advocacy efforts to promote real progress in research at #IKCSNA23 !🧡🧡

My first author publication out, alongside @SXPung is now out at @CD_AACR! Read below for a short summary:

Excited to share our latest publication in @PNAS with @KimrynRathmell where we demonstrate that mutation or inhibition of the tumor suppressor SETD2 promotes the formation of a whole host of chromsosomal aberrations including isochromosomes https://t.co/7a09NI3hE6 🧵

So excited to see this in print. Aguirre de Cubas, @AguirreDC2 is an assistant professor at @MUSC_MI who really pioneers this space. And kudos to @VUMC_Cancer PhD student @MelissaMWolf1 for putting the story together. #TumorAntigens #TransposableElements #InDels 🙌🙌🙌⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our paper is live! We studied iron metabolism in T cells in lupus and found that blocking their excess iron uptake can rescue their dysfunctional phenotypes (metabolism, mitochondria, IL-2 production, etc.)

We're well into #SuicidePreventionMonth, and I want to share this blog from @NIMHDirector. My father would have turned 79 this week, but he died as a result of suicide nearly 20 years ago. Let's treat mental health like the health factor it is. #988

@KimrynRathmell and I are looking for a lab manager to help coordinate the R^2 labs--it's a great opportunity to work on tumor immunity and immune metabolism with a diverse and fun group. https://t.co/F4HB8C8Ego

Awesome job @madden_mz !!! Double awards in one week! #immunometabolism Best part of being a faculty member is working with super talented students like Matt. Onward and upward. #DoubleDoc #MedTwitter #R^2
