Hi, I'm a researcher from the @CarrerasIJC and The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research @NorthwellHealth, studying leukemia and lymphoma biology and their interaction with other cells of the immune system

Fantastic #EHA2026 in Stockholm! Inspired by the science and great conversations. Can't wait for next year's edition in Barcelona! See you all at #EHA2027*

Can we make brains “smarter”? By boosting mitochondrial metabolism in neurons of memory circuits, we improved memory in flies and mice. Thrilled to see this work out - congrats to @AmrapaliAnjali
for spectacular work, and to lab and collaborators for invaluable contributions!

🎒 Gràcies al programa #Insticiència, el passat 29 de gener l’alumnat de l’@insmmpol es va endinsar en el dia a dia de la recerca de l’Institut Josep Carreras.

👨‍🔬 Acompanyats pel Dr. @FerrerGe, van descobrir com d’apassionant i transformadora pot ser la carrera científica ✨🔬

More evidence that #immunotherapy works better in the morning.

In a prospective, randomized phase III trial, giving first-line chemo-immunotherapy earlier in the day (<15:00) nearly doubled PFS (11.3 vs 5.7 mo, HR 0.40) and improved OS (28.0 vs 16.8 mo; HR 0.42) in advanced NSCLC.

More effective, no added cost and easy to implement.
Likely reflects circadian immune rhythms with greater CD8⁺ activation and less T-cell exhaustion.

Congrats to Broad Clinical Labs, Roche and Boston Children's Hospital for making a Guinness record for fastest genome sequencing! They were able to sequence and analyse the whole genome in <4 hrs, surpassing the previous benchmark of 5 hrs and 2 mins.

A NEJM paper reports application of this rapid workflow in seven NICU patients that returns genetic diagnosis in < 8 hrs. Amazing!

✨ #WorldCMLDay reminds us: research saves lives.

Once a deadly disease with low survival, the discovery of BCR-ABL led to imatinib— the pill that transformed treatment.

🔬 Today, thanks to research, 90% of patients can live almost normal lives. 💙
