Kalluri Lab

Research Lab of Dr. Raghu Kalluri. Unraveling the biology of cancer and other diseases to develop novel diagnostics and therapeutics.

We had a blast 💥 catching up on paper celebrations. Three recent lab publications, by @krishnaniyer199 in @Cancer_Cell, @Bingruilii in EV, and @rkalluriMDPhD in @ImmunityCP, were added to the wall. 🍾

Raghu delivered the plenary keynote lecture on biology and function of exosomes in cancer at the SPARC cancer research conclave on Exosomes in Cancer in Vishakhpatnam, India. Discussion after lasted 45 minutes!

We asked AI to summarize the 2024 Meeting of @AAEV_org, but it fell short of expectations.

We wrote about our experience with multiple LLMs, and their performance identifying speakers, citations and terminology. We humans are still in business, for now.

Today the lab celebrated the well-earned retirement from @MDAndersonNews of our IT and Tech Support HERO 💪, Gil.

Every discovery, publication, and therapy emerging from the lab is credited in part to Gil, our silent author, without whom none of it would be possible 💙

📣Our secret is OUT!
Cancer keeps us busy, but one experiment led to another…and we invented an EYE DROP therapy for AMD!

Thrilled to share that this work has been awarded the @TAMESTX 2026 Hill Prize in Medicine

Our iEV eye drops are poised to disrupt the industry standard!
