#newtotwitter We are the Heinrich Lab! We are a small but mighty group. We study #GIST, aiming to understand the molecular mechanisms of disease to provide better diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for patients. #SlayGIST

[Homma Khosroyani, PhD @HKhosroyani]

My PhD work from the @GistLab is now published! This study provides paradigm-shifting evidence that not all exon 18 PDGFRA mutant GIST require avapritinib treatment, and instead could be treated with imatinib based on mutation status - a win for those unable to access avapritinib

Presented at ASCO, new data from the Phase 1/1b StrateGIST-1 trial demonstrated that velzatinib (IDRX-42) is highly active & tolerable as both a first-line and later-line therapy across a wide spectrum of KIT mutations in advanced #GIST.

Thank you to @GistLab of @OHSUKnight for participating in an interview to unpack a ctDNA analysis of the phase 1/1b StrateGIST 1 trial. Check out highlights from the interview on https://t.co/E5LOd0oiTe #oncology #ASCO26 @asco

Fantastic turnout and engagement
@OHSUKnight GIST Education Day.
Really enjoyed connecting with everyone,
hearing about the latest clinical trials and
discussing the multidisciplinary, individualized
approach to this rare disease with @GistLab

[Inga-Marie Schaefer @im_schaefer]

Kicking off the #GISTTSummit2024 in Essen organized by @seppobauer & Jonathan Fletcher, with presentations by #GIST experts Ping Chi, Michael Heinrich @GistLab, and John Glod. Looking forward to 3 days filled with scientific exchange centered around GIST! #Sarcoma

[Flavio G Rocha, MD, FACS, FSSO @FlavioRochaMD]

Congrats to @GistLab and Dr. Limin Zhu for
achieving this COE designation!
