Ieri ad #ASCO2026 ho visto una sala piena di oncologi, ricercatori e operatori sanitari alzarsi in piedi per applaudire uno studio clinico sul tumore del pancreas. Per chi non lavora in oncologia può sembrare una cosa normale. Per chi, come me, ha passato anni a studiare i tumori guidati da KRAS, è stato un momento che difficilmente dimenticherò. 🧵

Congratulations to our very own @DierdorffLauren 💫 and the entire Class of 2026! @SeaverAutism @SinaiBrain
At the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s 2026 Commencement, our MD, PhD, and dual-degree graduates marked the culmination of years of dedication, discovery, and purpose. With inspiring words from student speakers and the support of family, friends, and mentors, the evening reflected the passion and perseverance that define this class. As these incredible individuals step into their next chapter, our graduates carry forward a commitment to advancing medicine, science, and compassionate care. Congratulations to the Class of 2026.

Today is Autism Awareness Day. Mount Sinai researchers are advancing our understanding of autism. A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, published in Nature Medicine, finds that autism risk genes are largely shared across people of different ancestries—supporting a universal genetic architecture of the condition. Drawing on one of the largest genomic analyses to date, this new research underscores the importance of expanding genetic studies beyond predominantly European cohorts. The findings may help improve the accuracy of genetic diagnosis and inform more precise approaches to care for individuals with autism. Read more: mshs.co/3NVTg8r

La genetica è un fattore importante per l'autismo. Questo studio dimostra che i geni che influenzano il rischio di ASD sono in gran parte gli stessi nelle diverse popolazioni globali, rafforzando l'ipotesi secondo cui i fattori genetici siano condivisi. nature.com/articles/s41591-0…
