So excited to work on this project! @activemotif

Star PhD student @DanaDoesScience wrote this blog post describing the very complex way H3K27M mutations cause DIPG/DMGs in a way that's **accessible to non-experts**. Beautifully written and a great resource for patients, families, and non-experts alike! https://t.co/ZPMTEJI1lh

Thank you Swenson family! So lucky to be involved in such important work

We had an incredible visit from the Swenson family in the lab yesterday. The Swenson's lost their daughter Marit to an H3K27M DMG in 2017. Their foundation https://t.co/LIrqPjzYgT donated $22k in honor of Merit to support our graduate student @DanaDoesScience

Was lucky enough to get to present my poster at the @NeuroOnc conference last weekend! @KoschmannLab

[Dana M. @DanaDoesScience]

It was such an honor to win a poster award at the @CBTNetwork summit! Thanks for a day of such interesting talks!

[Koschmann Lab @KoschmannLab]

Had a blast yesterday catching up with colleagues at the @CBTNetwork Scientific Summit in DC! We had four posters on various projects in the lab and two won top poster awards! Congrats to @DanaDoesScience and Sunny Ji! @UmichCancBio #DIPG

Thank you @chadtough and @tamcarr21 for organizing this amazing event to defeat DIPG! @MarkWMosier @JennyMosier @MottChildren @UMRogelCancer #DIPG

Amazing to host Meghan Behen and little Mac from the #MorganBehenGolfClassic. Meghan hand delivered a check to fund a new qPCR machine in lab (!!!) We are so grateful for your generosity and will continue to fight for DIPG patients and families #MorganStrong #EndDIPG

New review from our lab published in @FrontOncology (led by MDPhD student Kallen Schwark and @vivekanandVNY @ResearchCM) describing the existing state of targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor use in preclinical models and clinical trials of pediatric high-grade glioma. Check it out!

[Koschmann Lab @KoschmannLab]

Congrats! It was great to collaborate on this project and glad to have you here. Look out for more work by @jackwadden developing rapid, easy-to-perform, accurate, and low-cost liquid biopsy assays to track treatment response in our #DMG/#DIPG peds patients.

New paper out from our lab! Targeting the “diffuse” in diffuse midline glioma? Pediatric brain tumor cell invasion and migration can be slowed through inhibition of the protein ID1. Quick explainer🧵below by first author @DanaDoesScience ... 1/n https://t.co/dJbSphkHwm
