Those who know me, know I’m not someone who changes his preferences & behaviors lightly. As Ron Swanson said, “I regret nothing. The end.” Well, let me tell you about our new study, out from @ThePerryLab @MSKCancerCenter in @ImmunityCP @CellPressNews, which is the exception. /1

A pleasure to discuss our research and Cancer Engineering PhD Program at @MSKCancerCenter co-directed with Kayvan Keshari. Thank you @ProfGregSawyer for having us at the #CancerEngineeringSummit!
Happening now at #CancerEngineeringSummit: Daniel Heller, PhD (@Dan_A_Heller), discusses cancer engineering at Memorial Sloan Kettering, highlighting the integration of engineering into oncology research and how he helped build a PhD program that bridges engineering and medicine to train the next generation of innovators.

I don’t think I’ve met anyone with the magnitude of diverse impact. Barney was the last on my schedule when I interviewed at @MSKCancerCenter and later my neighbor for the 5 years. His wisdom and kind advice inspired the beginnings of my group. Role model is an understatement.
Barney was a true inspiration. I’ll never forget interviewing @MSKCancerCenter - after an exciting discussion about science we could collaborate on, he told me his story about the release of Bergen-Belsen & my tears just started flowing. It was incredibly moving for me.

Our new work in @Cell_Metabolism by @ArtemAKhan describes three new SLC transporters, including SLC25A45, a mitochondrial transporter for methylated amino acids that is essential for carnitine synthesis and fasting adaptation. @RockefellerUniv cell.com/cell-metabolism/ful…

Researchers at MSK continue to build upon early ideas in cancer research, breaking new ground and driving the field now known as "#immunotherapy" forward. Today, one specific type of immunotherapy —therapeutic #cancervaccines — has taken center stage. Unlike traditional vaccines, which prevent disease, a cancer vaccine would actually treat the disease. The concept is audacious. It is challenging. And it is also achievable, thanks to new technology and more support for researchers in the lab and the clinic. Learn more from some of the MSK experts in this field, including Dr. David Scheinberg, @TheVinodLab, Dr. @bengrbm, and @EileenMOReilly: bit.ly/45s4YgZ

Really exciting work led by the @JustinPerryPhD Great to see it in print. Congrats to Shasha and all co-authors
Out today from @ThePerryLab, our work suggesting how exposure to high fructose in pregnant mice or developing neonates directly affects neurodevelopment. In @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @MSKCancerCenter @WeillCornell funded by @NIH @NIH_CommonFund cc: @NIHDirector_Jay
