Loved working with and learning from so many #CHIP experts. Grateful for the leadership and guidance of @pnatarajanmd.
The field is rapidly evolving - an incredibly exciting time! Looking forward to future work incorporating #CHIP into clinical care!

Colchicine reduces competitive advantage of clonal hematopoiesis (esp TET2) in COLCOT ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1… @CircAHA
Similar to LoDoCo2 jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.… @JACCJournals
Our prior work in mice & human biobanks suggests that colchicine may be effective in reducing TET2 CHIP-associated CVD risk academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a… @ESC_Journals

It should never be a choice between treating cancer or protecting the heart. Our new study in #EHJ, co-led by @zhaowang4695, identified the mechanism of osimertinib cardiotoxicity and a new targeted treatment.
Translational medicine driving innovation in #cardiooncology! Great work, #KaiZhang! @cityofhope

A touching conversation with @ArmenianSaro, our Chair of #PediatricOncology, on the @cityofhope podcats. Despite years of knowing him, had no idea the personal connection he had to the field.

In this exploratory analysis, Tx w/ low-dose colchicine was assoc w/ an attenuated annual clonal growth in TET2 CH. Findings suggest potential for colchicine to curb proliferative advantage of key CH driver mutations jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.…

New chapter in our #CH journey!
In 1,931 auto-HCT pts, CH was linked to a 2-fold ↑ risk of nonmyeloid subsequent cancer (SIR = 1.9). In multivariable analysis, CH remained an independent risk factor (HR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.15–2.59). Beyond CVD, CHIP shapes long-term solid cancer risk among autologous HCT recipients. @ArmenianSaro @cityofhope academic.oup.com/jnci/advanc…

In our recent studies, CHIP was common (~20% ) in our cohort of HCT recipients & associated with markedly ↑ risk of non-relapse mortality. CVD however didn’t fully explain the risk… so we asked: does CHIP also predispose to secondary cancers after HCT?

The risk of MDS/AML w/ CHIP is well established.
But our data show CHIP also raises risk of non-myeloid solid cancers after auto-HCT.
Key takeaway: CH isn’t just about CVD or AML/MDS. It also drives risk for secondary solid cancers after HCT.

A true legend in the field of hematology/oncology. Dr. Stephen Forman was involved in the seminal studies of BMT for hematologic malignancies & evolved into a pioneer of CAR-T cell therapy. There are literally dozens of faculty at @cityofhope & beyond who consider him to be their most influential mentor. This podcast is a must-listen! @TDorffOnc @SaulPriceman @ArmenianSaro @stacywgray
21 Jul 2025
Could radiation be the key to unlocking CAR T cell therapy’s full potential? On the new episode of On the Edge of Breakthrough: Voices of Cancer Research (w/ @montypal), Dr. Forman breaks down how combining radiation with CAR T could enhance impact. Full episode coming 7/22.

🚨 New paper in @NatureGenet !
How does cancer chemotherapy reshape the HSC landscape and drive the evolution of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms? We uncovered this process through single-colony WGS! See the full paper here! nature.com/articles/s41588-0…

Today, I wanted to post something personal so that I can remember :)
Today is a bitter sweet day to say goodbye to our wonderful lab manager and RA, Brittany, as she moves on to the next chapter of starting her dental school!
I’m so thankful for everything she did for the lab. She will be an excellent dentist and researcher :) Wishing her the best!! @zhaowang4695 @ArmenianSaro
