Fred Hutch is bringing the 🔥 to #STATMadness!
@SuYapeng and team uncovered how the sugar mannose supercharges T cells and boosts tumor control.

Two obstacles in #CancerImmunotherapy are tumor-infiltrating T cell exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction.
Drs. @SuYapeng & Philip Greenberg at @FredHutch & @UW identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase KLHL6 as a dual-negative regulator of both.

This @Nature study (rdcu.be/eY5hC) shows that loss of the ubiquitin ligase KLHL6 in Tex cells prevents TOX degradation, stabilizing exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction. Another case linking proteostasis to T cell exhaustion. Congrats to @HutchGreenberg, Guideng Li.

🚨 Excited to share our collaborative work in @Nature ! 🚨
We identify KLHL6, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, as a key regulator that protects CD8⁺ T cells from both exhaustion and mitochondrial dysfunction — two major barriers in cancer immunotherapy. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…🧵👇

The spark that led to a Nobel. Dr. Mary Brunkow on the mentors who changed everything.
7 Dec 2025
“I wouldn't be standing here today if it weren't for a couple of really important mentors in my life who showed me what a life in research would look like.”
During her Nobel Prize lecture, medicine laureate Mary Brunkow spoke about the people that helped her during her scientific journey.

Tonight at my former home, @ISBsci, I celebrated my former lab mate Mary Brunkow as this year’s Nobel Laureate, surrounded by mentors who believed in me and shaped my journey. 💛 Science is about people as much as discovery.

Say good morning to our new medicine laureate Mary Brunkow! 🎉
This photo was taken by Brunkow's husband Ross Colquhoun at 4:30 in the morning, just after she had received the news.
