I feel this is my biggest professional accomplishment as PI!
I am so lucky to work with amazing #firstauthors @RAFrancescone & @DebVendramini.
Kudos to @JanuszFranco all @CukiermanLab & collaborators
Get ready for #Tweetorial about https://t.co/wfOhmyncYm later today...

Today marks 9 years since the enormous loss of our dear friend & colleague Patti @patricia_keely to #PancreaticCancer

The ECM giant who gave us the tumor-associated collagens - TACs signatures

She would have loved to see the @RevMedicines success in launching Ras inhibitors

Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center, led by @ednacukierman, PhD, have developed a first-of-its-kind tool to better understand pancreatic cancer by measuring the tumor microenvironment, the biological “neighborhood” surrounding a tumor. Read more: https://t.co/cXgnaJekR9

Top line data from Tango Therapeutics PRMT5 inh (Vopimetostat) plus @RevMedicines Daraxonrasib or Zoldonrasibin 2nd+ line #PancreaticCancer

Daraxonrasib (left) and Zoldonrasib (right) combination data. MultiRAS inhibition better than allele specific.

Cancer risk rises with age, but research models often don’t reflect it. New findings from Fox Chase presented at the @AACR annual meeting show melanoma spread may peak in middle age and be driven by key immune cells. Read more from @FaneMitchell, PhD: https://t.co/VtNRmNAHee
