Researchers in @HPKiem's lab at Fred Hutch devised a method that could one day treat genetic hematologic disorders by correcting how the body makes blood cells. Read more about their work, which they presented recently at #ASGCT2025. https://t.co/NQzfM1vm4J
I look forward to continue working with @mshadman as we expand @fredhutch’s immunotherapy offerings by minimizing wait times, providing universal access to #CARTcelltherapy and bringing the most promising #clinicaltrials to our patients.
Nearly 25 years after arriving at Fred Hutch Cancer Center for his hematology-oncology fellowship, @BartScott8 has been named the Miklos Kohary and Natalia Zimonyi Kohary Endowed Chair, established to support myelodysplastic syndrome research. https://t.co/RTvXzcKGyJ
@iannisaifantis1 Indeed very sad news, couldn't agree more such a giant in stem cell biology and hematology and just a wonderful colleague and mentor to so many - my deepest sympathies!
Wonderful to be here in Seattle to give the 2024 George Stamatoyannopoulos Lecture at @UW! Terrific dinner with @ex_vivo, #ThaliaPapayannopoulou, @jeffvierstra, @HPKiem at @larkseattle! Looking forward to a terrific day tomorrow! 🙏

The "Doctor, can CAR-T therapy cause cancer?" question in clinic
In past 2 months, updated FDA info re: T-cell malignancies after CAR-T and MDS after cilta-cel in #MMsm.
How do we contextualize to our patients?

Congratulations to Roger Nyhus, America’s new ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean.
I was honored to attend his swearing-in today – and I’m certain he will represent our country well.
The SNL "skit" about the new CRISPR sickle treatment is atrocious imho:
- it cheapens a landmark moment in healthcare
- the "joke" is made at the expense of two Black actors
- it trivializes abundantly justified mistrust the Black community has for medical experiments
= smh, SNL
First report of our multicenter study of MB-106, a 3rd gen CD20 #CART for iNHL. This is our homegrown CART at @fredhutch getting to the next level!
Also excited about it being a registration study for #WM!

On this historic day for #SCD patients & families, thank you to @HPKiem (@FredHutch), Matt Porteus (@StanfordMed), Drew Campbell (@ChildrensNatl), Clark Paramore (@bluebirdbio), & SCD warrior Nasir & mom SueAnn, for presenting at our Senate briefing last summer! #ASGCTAdvocacy
After my recent visit to Cologne (thanks @marques_et_al) I am convinced that Christmas markets (and Glühwein; https://t.co/kOQMfWaxHT) would make Seattle winters a lot more tolerable. We should make this happen!!!
Congrats to @cellseywoodruff for:

Remarkable to see that our discoveries over 15 years ago would enable such tremendous advances for sickle cell disease and thalassemia!!! Incredible to think that the final sentence of our 2008 paper would be prophetic (https://t.co/gj069an62b)...
