It has been a fantastic last three years of my research career @CentenaryInst. I am really grateful to my mentors @Peter @JessTiffen, labmates and all other colleagues. I am really excited and looking forward to the next phase of my research career @FisherLabMGH @harvardmed

Delighted to share our latest work which I co-lead with @JessTiffen. Epigenetic inhibitor against BET proteins and antiCTLA-4 synergistically reduce tumor growth which are resistance to anti-PD1. Hope it can make a meaningful impact in clinical settings. @DrHYTseng @JessTiffen.
More great work from my team on epigenetic BET inhibitors. Here we show they combine well with antiCTLA-4 immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) to combat melanoma with innate resistance to antiPD-1/L1 (frontline) ICI in a mouse model. @DrHYTseng @emran_geb onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Great piece of work from my PhD Lab . Yet another strong evidence of epigenetic reprogramming in adaptive resistance of multiple solid tumor models. Congrats to everyone involved in this fascinating project. Happy to be a part of it. @HelmutSchaider@DinoopMenon @Heinz @HaassLab

Couldn't agree more! A must-read thread..
The Best Scientists 🧵 I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑‍🔬 Maybe the best scientists... make impactful discoveries, publish in gilded journals, garner millions in funding, with lots of indirects. And prizes, all the prizes🏆 And everybody respects them. OR…

That's hilarious but harsh truth! Why can't we have both prestige and money??
It’s not about the money

Prof Peter Hersey is generally recognised as a pioneer of the #melanoma treatment – #immunotherapy – in Australia. Having first started treating melanoma patients in 1980, he has seen great advances in field but he is not going to stop there. More 👉 ow.ly/PtHe50GSVvV

Many thanks for promoting our work @CentenaryInst
LATEST NEWS: Researchers from the Centenary Institute have developed a new approach to fighting #melanomas that fail to respond – or are resistant – to standard treatments. More: centenary.org.au/cen_news/ne…

Couldn't agree more! Additionally, It should also be adjusted according to the living cost of some expensive states/cities. It's not a big ask and could be encouraging for the young scientist who wants to pursue their career in academia.

Brilliant piece of work. A must-read for melanoma researchers.
Why do mutations only sometimes cause cancer? In our new @ScienceMagazine paper, we describe a mechanism for this called "oncogenic competence": science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Our new findings @biorxivpreprint Happy to share our latest findings on repurposing the existing chemotherapy to induce innate inflammasomes for a potential therapeutic option of BRAF/MAPKi resistant melanoma. @Farzana @DrHYTseng @JessTiffen #PeterHersey @CentenaryInst

The age of epigenetic inhibitors is now and ahead for improving therapeutic efficacy in cancers. A comprehensive review on the role of histone demethylases(erasers) in melanoma other cancers from our lab. Nice work @Gaya19628293 @JessTiffen
Lysine Demethylases: Promising Drug Targets in Melanoma and Other Cancers frontiersin.org/article/10.3… everything you need to know about lysine demethylases in cancer but didn’t know you needed to know. An excellent review from my PhD student @Gaya19628293 and @emran_geb

Another evidence from our group suggests that epigenetic inhibitors can potentially be an alternative therapeutic option for deadly melanoma.

A fantastic achievement and thoroughly deserved. Many congrats @JessTiffen. Wishing you more success ahead. We are proud of you.
