The mission of our lab is to develop metastasis prevention strategies by understanding the biology of disseminated tumor cells and their microenvironments.

New lab photo!! Standing offer for Dr. Biden to join our lab- she did love the views!!! Unforgettable experience to have ⁦@FLOTUS⁩ visit our lab, learn about tumor dormancy, and how we want to prevent metastasis and develop new curative approaches via ⁦@FredHutch_Met_X

Ladies and gentleman, debut paper from the superstar lab of Shivani Srivastava…

[Shivani Srivastava @sriv4000]

Excited to share our lab’s latest work in @SciImmunology, examining how CAR-T cells bypass the niches that normally support stem-like subsets in vivo and how this influences their sensitivity to checkpoint blockade.

😁 Honored to be selected as a CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellow (award period 2026-2029) @CancerResearch . I’m incredibly grateful to my mentors @GhajarLab and @EvNewell1 — I wouldn’t be here without their guidance. Excited to continue this work @fredhutch @FredHutch_Met_X

[Cyrus Ghajar @GhajarLab]

Beautiful new work driven by star MD/PhD fellow Takahiro Tsuji in Japan’s Wake Laboratory.

Last night Adam Kampff, the glue, the light, the catalyst, the builder, the smile, left us. He and his work transformed the lives of many labs, scientists, students. He kept inspiring and being generous until his last transformation, and worked tirelessly to set up a foundation to continue the work. He once said when moving from Lisbon to London "I am not leaving, I am just spreading the good work further". Thank you Adam! Thank you!

Hiring: PostDoc in Tissue Clearing & 3D Histopathology 🧪🖥️

My lab at Helmholtz Munich is seeking a highly motivated PostDoc/Scientist to strengthen our efforts in advanced imaging of cancer tissues.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop & Optimize: Create tissue-clearing protocols for human cancer samples.

Image: Perform 3D microscopy using light sheet and confocal systems.

Analyze: Collaborate with computational scientists to integrate multi-modal datasets and quantitative readouts.

Innovate: Explore novel experimental approaches for cancer tissue clearing.

Requirements: We are looking for candidates with strong hands-on expertise in tissue processing, H&E/IHC/IF staining, and handling biological imaging datasets. Experience with colorectal cancer biology and supervising junior colleagues is highly advantageous.

Why join us? Work in an intellectually stimulating environment with flexible work schedules and extensive career development programs.

📩 To Apply: Please email your application (CV, transcripts, motivation letter) to [email protected] and [email protected] by 31.12.2025.

Too many men die of prostate cancer. We miss you John. We discovered a new way of attacking androgen receptor driven prostate cancers that will lead to new therapeutics. This was a wonderful collaboration with @li_haolong and Felix Feng (rest in peace).

Our work describing the metabolic roles of serum for cancer cell proliferation is now out @jbiolchem!

Congrats to Oliver and Eric and many thanks to the editor and reviewers for a thoughtful and efficient review process.

Cancer researcher on the faculty job market? @fredhutch

[Rui Costa @ruimcosta]

Our latest immunology study reveals rheumatoid arthritis begins silently – attacking the immune system years before symptoms appear. This breakthrough opens the door to preventing RA before it begins.

This 7-year study is a result of team science at its best! Scientists at the @AllenInstitute, in collaboration with @BRIseattle, @CUAnschutz, and @UCSanDiego, mapped the earliest immune changes in individuals at risk for RA, shifting focus from reactive treatment to early intervention.

I’m proud of the Allen Institute team for pushing science toward earlier detection and better outcomes for patients.
