Researchers have applied serial biopsies to safely monitor glioblastoma progression and responses to immunotherapy in two patients, capturing details that are invisible to standard-of-care MRI. Learn more in @ScienceTM: https://t.co/LE6ofSMdBW

Congrats to Dr. Yaghi on the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for metal-organic frameworks. Dr. Yaghi was the first PI to let me spend time in his lab @UCBerkeley for a summer when I was 13! I remain in awe at how he graciously responded to my email, inaugurating my journey in research.
