Three @Zarif_Lab members who helped launch the lab were hooded today at the @HopkinsMedicine
commencement exercises! So proud of Xiaoxu, @8Monali and Tom on this amazing accomplishment and grateful to have been their mentor!
We’ll be tweeting throughout the AACR Annual Meeting 2023, so please follow the official hashtag #AACR23 to get the latest news from the most important cancer meeting in the world.
So excited to see Dr. Bertozzi recognized! Her accomplishments further in glycobiology and it’s possible implication in cancer has been personally very inspiring! @CarolynBertozzi #NobelPrize2022
BREAKING NEWS:
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
Today was a beautiful day for @DTheodros, his lovely family and our lab. He is the 1st @Zarif_Lab student to graduate earning both his MD and PhD. His research helped shape our lab in many ways and we are really ecstatic about his future in Neurosurgery and immunology research!
.@aloksinghjnu, @8Monali, @MaxKates team investigated direct role of STING signaling on tumor infiltrating macrophage polarization and CD8 T cell phenotypes (activation and memory) conferred by BCG-STING (recombinant BCG overexpressing STING agonist, c-di-AMP) vs BCG-WT #AUA22
#PictureaScientist aims to amplify the voices of women & people of color in science, to effect change in the culture of science. To help amplify the voices of black scientists, we will donate the proceeds of our June 12th theatrical release to @BlackAFinSTEM & @BlackGirlsCode
In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:
Today in Science Immunology (bit.ly/3Oj5vr8) David Sanin’s amazing approach to understand the complexity of macrophage activation in the tissue inflammation environment. Collaboration that emerged from FOR 2599 @dfgpublic
Small but mighty! This is a video of a killer T cell of the immune system destroying a monstrous ovarian cancer cell. I recently captured this data on a spinning disc confocal microscope.
Great talk by Dr. Varner in showing the ability of TME by stem cell factors in increasing a progenitor stem like resident macrophage ! #AACR22@JudithVarner2@AACR
Exciting to chair the myeloid session today #AACR22 - The room was super packed highlighting how much myeloid cell biology is now at the center of cancer therapeutic discovery
V interesting myeloid cell session this morning @ #AACR22 ft. 4 stellar @CancerResearch scientists: Brian Brown, @MiriamMerad, Ira Mellman, & @RayArja. As Mellman noted, “Although we focus predominantly on T cells in IO, they would be nowhere were it not for the myeloid cells.”
