Excellent experience at #AACR23! We identified tumor neoantigen-specific T-cells in EGFR-mutated lung cancer. These T-cells were clonally expanded in patients with residual disease, implications for #immunotherapy. Thanks to supportive mentors @collin_blakely @UCSF @TreverBivona

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

Excited to learn from all the innovation at #AACR2023 We describe T-cell clonal expansion and tumor neoantigens in lung cancer as a potential clinical frontier - learn more at our poster session! section 21: abstract #605 @BivonaLabUCSF @UCSFHospitals #immunology #CancerResearch

I believe we can end cancer as we know it and even cure cancers once and for all.

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

Check out our abstract and poster EP08.02-217 Grateful for my mentor @collin_blakely , teammates @DanielLucasKerr and advocates @LAGurwitch @IASLC

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

Honored to present our findings at #WCLC22! Concurrent cell cycle gene alterations in patients with EGFR mutated #lungcancer associated with worse survival and disease control. Perhaps #precision therapy against EGFR and cell cycle genes could lead to improved outcomes

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

Thrilled to attend my first #WCLC22
Moved by the call to action from @LAGurwitch to aim for nothing but cure. Motivated to collaborate towards discovery to fight EGFR #lungcancer cancer @IASLC

#Healthequity in #cancer care is the need of the hour-this article highlights how capacity building in LMICs with innovative LINAC radiotherapy technology can enable cancer care for all and a safer world. Look forward to more insights from @pallabimc

[Pallabi Mitra Chakrabarti @pallabimc]

Excited to share the second part of this @csisponi article series. Especially grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with #DrManjitDosanjh and #DrNormColeman on this piece!

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

@MonishaBhatia3 @MonishaBhatia3 appreciate your insights! This past year prescribed Evusheld to several of our immunocompromised pts at @UCSFHospitals with excellent outcomes!

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

Exciting panel discussion at @NABC_CAB on #cancer #prevention in #SouthAsians let’s keep campaigning for cure!

[Pallabi Mitra Chakrabarti @pallabimc]

@NABC_CAB is a social and cultural conference that brings diverse perspectives together and today’s afternoon session featured a panel of medical experts. Especially interesting presentation from @DrTurja on the importance of cancer screenings for the South Asian diaspora.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

Exceptional work by @pallabimc investigating an important challenge of global cancer care. Keep it up!

[Pallabi Mitra Chakrabarti @pallabimc]

Exploring the global nexus between cancer and security has been a personal and professional interest! Grateful to publish with @csisponi to unravel challenges with radiation therapy technologies in treating cancer and reducing radiological terrorism risks https://t.co/VdCxjGWhAP

Was asked today by reporter what's most important step U.S. should take to prep for a future surge.
Lots of good answers: better ventilation, communication, surveillance/testing,⬆vax %.
But if I had to choose 1, it'd be⬆⬆access to Paxlovid (from + test➠start med in one day).

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

I’ve formed a new Cancer Cabinet, which will be convened in the coming weeks. They will drive the whole-of-government effort to unleash every possibility within our power to end cancer as we know it.

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

A) "Everyone will be exposed to Omicron"
B) "Everyone will get Omicron"
They're different. (A) promotes appropriate caution till surge ends: boost, N95, outdoor>indoor. (B) promotes counterproductive behavior as hospitals are overwhelmed.

Biggest difference: A is true. B is not.

[Turja Chakrabarti MD MS @DrTurja]

This week @UCSFHospitals I had the privilege to care for cancer patients with COVID-19. Amidst shortages of lifesaving antibody therapies - surge of a “mild” variant is still devastating for our most vulnerable patients. 🙏🏽 let’s fight this wave with global action

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

It’s simple: a teacher shouldn’t pay a higher tax rate than an oil company. That’s what I’m trying to change.
