Lung cancer and lung stem cell lab head, study the role of immune cells in respiratory diseases. Joint Division Head, Personalised Oncology, @WEHI_Research
Joined August 2021
Excited to share ou paper in @Cancer_Cell today where we showed that TRM present in the lungs of smokers before tumour onset accelerates the initiation of immune escape mechanisms. @WEHI_research @DrClareWeeden @Lungfoundation

Our May issue is out today! In the cover, a study showing that TRM cells (IO super stars) are associated with tumor immune evasion in lung cancer from ever-smokers 🤯. For this and more great content ⬇️

Beautiful cover by Amy Manson illustrating our work in this issue of Cancer Cell where we showed that lung tissue resident memory T cells present in the lung of smokers before tumour onset accelerate tumour immune evasion. @WEHI_research @DrClareWeeden #lungcancer

My work with @ML_Labat @GrayLab1 @WEHI_research addressing how pre-existing immunity within the lung affects developing tumours is out today in @Cancer_Cell! This project started with an obsession to know more about lung cancer in never-smokers…1/9🧵 https://t.co/lAizEuvJye

An absolute honour to work with @WillHilliam @LimEmilia @CharlesSwanton @SwantonLab to decipher HOW air pollution contributes to lung cancer formation in never-smokers – out today in Nature. 🧵1/6🧵 (yes a thread on a thread 🤯)
Today our important study on air pollutants in the promotion of lung cancer has been published in @Nature led by @WillHilliam @LimEmilia @DrClareWeeden @SwantonLab ...Thread below🧵 https://t.co/q1ICykmVox

Online Now: Early immune pressure initiated by tissue-resident memory T cells sculpts tumor evolution in non-small cell lung cancer

Weeden et al. find that ever-smoker lungs have greater activation of T cells with a tissue-resident memory phenotype (TRM). Lung tumors growing in TRM cell-rich environments develop immune evasion,...

New research has found marked differences in the way #LungCancer evolves in smokers & non-smokers. The discovery, published in @Cancer_Cell, shows the importance of tailoring treatments for lung #cancer patients, depending on their #smoking history https://t.co/QzbxGseXqe 🧵1/2

1/7 🧵Excited to share my first pre-print manuscript from @Sutherland_Lab with @burr_marian resolving the controversial SCLC-Y subtype! Our findings suggest YAP1 is not a subtype defining transcription factor in SCLC. @WEHI_research @JCSMR
