Celebrating the next generation of researchers at the @AACR Annual Meeting! @AndreaMiyahira joined the 2026 recipients of the PCF Scholar-in-Training Awards, recognizing outstanding early-career scientists presenting impactful work in prostate cancer. #AACR26
Welcome to the 2026 #SITC#Sparkathon participants (Sparkies). We would like to thank them for participating in this unique program to advance their careers in immuno-oncology! #TCells#IO#SITCQuestfor100
The 2024 Young Investigator Awards recipients have just been announced. Congrats to this year’s class, who received $6.3 million in funding for innovative prostate cancer research.

ASCI member Fong et al. @UCSF show that JAK inhibition administered sequentially enhances anti-tumor immunity after combined anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA4 therapy in pre-clinical prostate cancer study: https://t.co/H1fKT3E8cI
Think global, act local! Just like the fully cleavable, conditionally activatable DVD CTLA4 blockade we report at https://t.co/WYYJAWXGP0 ! It provided safe, primary antigen-specific antitumor efficacy in localized and systemic preclinical tumor models. @lawfong
In this fantastic collaboration with Abbvie we were able to find time-sensitive synergistic effects between immune checkpoint blockade and JAK1 inhibition in boosting T cell fitness against tumors in mice. Online today! https://t.co/T0EbhEuAtw @lawfong
Aram Lyu, Peiqi Ou, Helen Rizos, and Annette Paschen discuss "Cancer Immune Evasion" in a symposium at the AACR IO Conference on Discovery and Innovation in Cancer Immunology. #AACRIO25@HelenRizos@AramLyu
ScRNAseq of prostate cancer samples revealed an SPP1hi TAM population that correlated with progression and T cell exhaustion. https://t.co/KV2qtGWDIE @AramLyu@parkerici@lawfong
Fred Hutch researchers shared new research at the @sitcancer meeting in early Nov. Findings included new strategies to avoid T-cell exhaustion in CAR T cells & insights into how solid tumors change microenvironment to blunt the immune system’s response.

Why has immunotherapy, transformative for some cancers, struggled in prostate cancer? A new @Nature study, led by @lawfong (former PICI Co-Director at @UCSF, now at @fredhutch) with 1st author Aram Lyu, PhD (PICI Investigator, UCSF), uncovers key insights. 1/3
