Pancreatic cancer researcher and professor Luisa Escobar-Hoyos, MSc, PhD, saw her work hit too close to home when her mother Luz, also a cancer researcher and professor, was diagnosed with one of the world’s toughest cancers. 💜 bit.ly/3ItF5Vk So, when Dr. Escobar-Hoyos had the opportunity to speak at a Congressional briefing on the importance of federally funded cancer research, she shared how her lab’s research depended on funding from our government — and how her work had become more personal than ever before. 🔬🧫 @Escobar_Lab @YaleMed @YaleCancer

Yale researchers engineered an antibody, #TMAB3, to carry immune-activating RNA directly to hard-to-treat tumors-shrinking tumors, ⬆️ survival, avoiding healthy tissue. “This lays the foundation for personalized, tumor-targeted RNA therapies,”@Escobar_Lab. yalecancercenter.org/news-ar… @SmilowCancer @ScienceTM

Excited to announce our newest paper in @ScienceTM about our tumor-specific, nucleic acid-binding TMAB3 antibody! Work done in collaboration w/ the #Glazerlab and co-led by our very own post-docs Dr. Diana Martinez-Saucedo & @nanamedici @YaleCancer @YaleMed

We found that TMAB3, combined with an RNA that stimulates the innate immune response, can penetrate tumors and inhibit tumor growth in #PDAC #medulloblastoma and #melanoma. Meaning TMAB3 has potential as a tumor-specific delivery mechanism for DNA- and RNA-based therapies.

Grateful to be one of the recipients for the Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Prize from @psscra! It will greatly help our work to develop a novel vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Work was led by our post docs @nanamedici and Diana Martinez-Saucedo! @YaleMed @YaleCancer
Replying to @psscra
Dr. Luisa Escobar-Hoyos and the @Escobar_Lab at @YaleMed are developing a novel pancreatic cancer vaccine that leverages the body's existing immunity to bacteria to target and destroy pancreatic tumors. Congrats, Luisa! vimeo.com/1085105016

What an amazing lightning talk by @dimartzs at #AACRpan24. Technical issues and no slides didn’t stop her from promoting her work on TMAB, a novel antibody that can deliver nucleic acids to tumors w/ #GlazerLab! @YaleCancer @YaleMed
