How would you cryoablate this pulmonary lesion?

Grab a bone drill! 🦴 @LucasRCmd demonstrates that the transsternal approach can be safe and effective!

[SIO @SIO_Central]

Proud to welcome @sitcancer to #SIOSavannah! Today's SIO Meets SITC: Beyond Liver Biomarkers session explored intratumoral therapies, immuno-oncology integration, and case-based clinical learning. Looking forward to more collaboration in 2026 at the NEXT Summit in May.

[Jason Chiang, MD, PhD @JChiang795]

Thanks for hosting! This was an amazing opportunity to bounce ideas off of current leaders in IR innovation

[SIO @SIO_Central]

Yesterday at #SIOSavannah, SIO’s Research Steering Committee brought the Lab Meeting Series together in person for the first time. With presentations from Lobna Elkhadragy, PhD, and Jason Chiang, MD, PhD, the session marked an important milestone for #IO research collaboration.

[Jason Chiang, MD, PhD @JChiang795]

Holiday spirits in our lab! I am lucky to work with such a hard working and fun team!

Honored to share that our lab has received an @NIH @NIBIBgov Trailblazer award to study antibody-drug-conjugate labeled microbubbles - yet tough to celebrate fully knowing that many @UCLA federal grants have recently been suspended. Progress requires support!

[UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center @UCLAHealthJCCC]

A new UCLA study may explain why some liver tumors return after heat-based treatment. Researchers found that a protein, Galectin-1, helps cancer cells survive and regrow. Blocking it could make therapy more effective and reduce recurrence.

Beyond thankful to match integrated IR @RadiologyUcla! Could not have done it without my research mentors @mikhailshapiro @JChiang795, and support from @PDSoros. Can’t wait to learn DR/IR and continue research with @JChiang795 and @EdLeeUCLAIR!

[Jason Chiang, MD, PhD @JChiang795]

Congrats! Looking forward to working with everyone!
