Incredibly grateful to receive the Gunter Blobel Early Career Award. Thank you ⁦@ASCBiology⁩ for this recognition. Congratulations to all awardees incl. my former mentor Pietro De Camilli ⁦@PDClab⁩ who received the EB Wilson Medal ! 🍾🍾🙏

New @CD_AACR review on Hallmarks of Lineage Plasticity by @triparnasen @MAF_Dawson & colleagues Histologic Transformation in Cancer: The Path for Clinical Translation https://t.co/PpCqYRksk4

Excited to share our research, spearheaded by MSTP trainee @nathanec1, with contributions from ~9 research labs, focused on the changing roles of brain fibroblasts (and immune cells) in brain injury. Thx in particular to @AnnaMolofskyLab, Tom Arnold lab. https://t.co/j2gWnMvmfX

Congrats! 👏👏👏 Two CRI scientists named 2025 Pew-Stewart & Pew Scholars — @JaviGBermudez & @HijaiShin — to advance cancer, biomedical research. Read more about their #relentlessdiscovery ⬇️ https://t.co/MAFSU4zUqs @pewtrusts

Thrilled and deeply honored to be named a 2025 Pew Biomedical Scholar! Huge congrats to my friend and colleague @CRI_UTSW @JaviGBermudez , who’s also joining the Pew family as a Pew-Stewart Scholar. CRI is on fire—let’s go make some bold, groundbreaking science happen! 🔥🧪✨

Thanks to @DannieEngle @MaraShermanLab @Joshilabyale & Diana Hargreaves for organizing an amazing meeting ! #MechModels2025 @salkinstitute

New @iScience_CP paper by @NinaSteele17 @Pasca_Lab Primary and metastatic cellular landscapes in human #PancreaticCancer https://t.co/RWYe60lNS9 Signatures of pancreatic cancer metastases associated T cells (exhausted), macrophages (complement pathway) and fibroblasts (UPP1 +).

Tenure-track faculty search of the @Ucsf_Biochem Department is open for applications! We are looking for creative, innovative scientists asking fundamental questions in any area of biology. Join our vibrant, collaborative, and supportive community! https://t.co/o8SJlLNNlg

Grateful to Joan and Sandy Weill for their visionary gift, bringing the best from @Stanford @UCSF together to transform cancer care. And excited for our Project FEAST team tackle critically unanswered questions at the intersection of cancer, nutrition, obesity, and GLP-1 drugs.

More on the Weill Cancer Hub West in the SF Chronicle 👇

Launched today- the Weill Cancer Hub West -supporting transformative cancer research collaborations btw @UCSF & @Stanford. Honored to co-lead, with @longlabstanford, our team who will study the impact of diet on pancreatic cancer initiation, progression and therapy response.

Thank you @ZouYilong and Charles David for this thoughtful commentary on our recent study connecting PCSK9 status with PDAC metastatic tropism

Promoted ! 🙌

Between alarms and sheltering, I learned last night that my postdoc mentor, Professor Atul Butte @atulbutte, has passed away, and he is only 55 years old. This is devastating news 💔. Atul was a giant in so many ways. He was a visionary leader in translational bioinformatics

Happy to have contributed in a small way to this very cool study from Jim Wells lab, led by Fangzhu Zhao. They developed low-density lipoprotein receptor-targeting chimeras (LIPTACs) to promote induced extracellular protein degradation & ADC delivery. 👏 https://t.co/MyS1Hto7bG

Big congrats to grad students Claire Goul @clairegoul and Julian Yano @JulianYano on earning their PhDs from @berkeleyMCB. Greater adventures await you!

@GillesRademaker 🙌

We are grateful to the granting agencies, including @AACR, NIH, The Ed Mara Passion to Win Fund and the Belgian American Education Foundation (to G.R), which supported this work.

Thank you to our wonderful collaborators and their lab members - @RobertoZoncu @YehlabUNC Eric Collisson, the German PDAC consortium, Mark Looney, Bruce Wang, Grace Kim, Kwun Wen - and to @Nature and the reviewers for their thoughtful review of our study.
