Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we’re celebrating NBTS-funded researcher Dr. Elizabeth Fernandez, who just defended her PhD! Inspired by her cousin’s #braintumor, she’s working to overcome #glioblastoma treatment resistance and advance #precisionmedicine. #WomenInScience

We are so honored to be partnering with Pennymac and the Kurland Family Foundation in the fight against brain cancer. Thank you to all the donors and supporters of this cause.
Thank you to all of the sponsors and donors at the 3rd Annual Stanford L. Kurland Memorial Golf Classic to benefit brain cancer research at UCLA Neurology. Pennymac raised over $2.3 million in the fight to end brain cancer, as they carry on the legacy of founder, Stan Kurland.

#GBM are lethal, molecularly heterogeneous tumors – it was unknown whether this molecular diversity led to distinct phenotypes and metabolic lipidomic vulnerabilities. New, open access @Cancer_Cell paper: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

In collaboration with @SJD956, Steve Bensinger, @TCloughesy, Kevin Williams, @graeber_thomas, and Linda Liau we created a lipidomic and molecular resource of GBM tumors and identified that CDKN2A deletion remodels the GBM lipidome, priming these GBM for ferroptosis.
