Important work regarding high prevalence of BCMA expression in PBL. There is no consensus in the treatment of RR PBL and anti BCMA therapies are intriguing. Interestingly the two patients exposed to CD19 directed CART in this small series died. #lymsm

#CART and fixed #ibrutinib for #Mantle cell #lymphoma in @bloodjournal. More evidence that immunotherapy may help with high-risk molecular subtypes. Congrats to @adrianminson for driving this lightning-fast @petermacres IIT as part of his PHD! #lymsm bit.ly/3Q73904

Late breaking at #ASCO23: In the phase 3 ZUMA-7 trial, patients with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma who received axi-cel (CD19-specific CAR T cells) had a 27.4% lower risk of death than patients who received standard therapy. Full trial results:

Zuma7 shows that, in spite of cross over in >50%, there is an OVERALL SURVIVAL BENEFIT for CAR-T (Axi-Cel) versus chemo transplant for #DLBCL #lymphoma - the NEJM Paper is online! bit.ly/43Fpxmn #lymsm Great to have been a part of this practice-changing trial.

Surprised this went through peer-review unnoticed... What is the issue with the proposed analysis shown in the plot? Very exciting data nonetheless! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… @JCO_ASCO

Physics Quiz! How many Hiroshimas/Megatons of explosive force does it take to get the Tennis off the front page of all major Australian news outlets? (Clue: it's more than 1000 Hiroshimas)

POLARIX PFS subgroup analysis in supplementary of @NEJM Well worth a look! IPI 3-5 vs IPI 2 differences fairly striking. #ASH21 #lymsm #DLBCL

Thrilled to see our group’s paper out. rdcu.be/cogHo Amongst the first demonstrating the potential for CRISPR-Cas13-based targeting of live SARS-CoV-2. Special congrats to the brilliant @Farehlab. Lucky to be part of this project as my first venture into basic science.

I can't help but think it should be Prof Sarah Gilbert, the actual expert overseeing the Oxford team who developed the vaccine, whose face features in these announcements. #womeninSTEM
It is truly fantastic news - and a triumph for British science - that the @UniofOxford /@AstraZeneca vaccine has been approved for use. We will now move to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible.
