Nine years ago, Professor Diana Hargreaves embarked on a V Foundation-funded project to find better drug targets for cancers with mutations in a multi-protein complex called SWI/SNF that regulates DNA structure and stability. Today, that project's exceptional success is being recognized with another V Foundation recognition—a 2025 All-Star Translational Award. Diana will receive $1 million to advance her new project, which aims to improve immunotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Delighted to speak with @NBCNews@DrAkshaySyal about a cell therapy that may offer a new way for drug-resistant #epilepsy patients to achieve seizure freedom. Grateful as always to the amazing @UCSDHealth team and my collaborator, Dr. Jerry Shih (PI): bit.ly/3PQeVgr

Word has quickly gotten around about the untimely death of @slimanjbensmaia. I wanted to pass on a couple more bits of information, including a gofundme for Kerry and kids (gofundme.com/f/sliman-bensma…) and a photo album (photos.google.com/share/AF1Q…). Add your favorites!

Delighted to have the @NINDSFunding’s support and recognition of this important research, which we hope will lead to improved, non-opioid treatments for intractable pain. @UCSDNeuroSurg
Congratulations to Dr. Sharona Ben-Haim (@SBenHaimMD) on receiving an @NIH grant to map pain networks in the human brain! This work may lead to non-opioid treatments for chronic #pain—which affects nearly 20% of adults in the U.S. Grant details: bit.ly/411g5ZW

Honored to speak to @NPR about how new surgical treatments are helping #epilepsy patients who are medication resistant live a seizure-free life. Very happy this information is being shared, as some patients aren’t aware of their surgical options: bit.ly/3ZTIX5T
