I’m coming to New Orleans in April to give a talk and would love to see about bringing our science to other institutions in the area. Anyone have opportunities for this? Hematopoiesis, cancer biology, stem cells, glycans?

[Nour Shobaki @NourShobaki]

Honored to share our all-in-one CAR-T work for advanced prostate cancer with @zklaassen_md and @urotoday . Grateful for @PCFnews @PCF_Science , @carlhjune & my team.

Please Repost: 3 out of 4 adults by age 30 have HPV. In the past 4 years HPV related tongue, throat & tonsil cancer has surpassed cervical cancer & become an epidemic among men between ages 40-60. Let's protect our sons and daughter by leaning about the HPV vaccine. @DrZSB @drsforamerica @DrMarcSiegel @InfoASHA @foxandfriends @ImmunizeOrg @TheJoeySwoll @EricTopol @USRepKCastor @HPVProjectPERCH @JesseBWatters @rfkJrHealth24 @SU2C

What's the difference between Trm and exhausted CD8 T cells? Simone Park's new work dissects this important question. These cell types are often confused, but are ontologically and mechanistically distinct with implications for immunotherapy responses. https://t.co/i8qksekdNM

Proud of my student, Jidapa Janpathompong, for delivering an outstanding presentation on her summer research at the SUIP Symposium at Penn. Huge thanks to everyone who made this event a success!
