Now online ➡️ we identify CDK8 as a resistance mechanism across several Kras inhibitors including daraxonrasib. Targeting CDK8 alone can overcome resistance and sensitize tumors to checkpoint immunotherapy with curative outcomes ‼️

In @embojournal from @KalluriLab & @mcandrews_kate @UTMDAnderson dissecting a novel mechanism of resistance to KRAS inhibitors:
CDK8 remodels the tumor microenvironment and promotes resistance to KRASG12D inhibitors and daraxonrasib in #PancreaticCancer

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. 🍾

Proud lab moment! We’re happy to announce Raghu’s election to the @aimbe College of Fellows 🤩
Congrats, Boss!

Houston, we have a solution! @SaurLab and @Bingruilii are on the scene at NASA 🚀
Glad to have Dieter with us in Houston for a terrific week of science!

Team False Positives made a comeback! The lab trivia team came out on top at tonight’s trivia in the Village! Clutch performance by the @RiceBIOE @RiceSSPB @RiceECE PhD Students.

[Kalluri Lab @KalluriLab]

We’re honored to be part of the @break_cancer Conquering KRAS TeamLab, highlighted in @TheCancerLetter this week. Amazing work by our colleagues and friends, with more results on the way!💡

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!

[Kalluri Lab @KalluriLab]

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 💙

💡Curious about the origins of iExosomes?

➡️ Read about the decade-long journey from concept to clinical trial, over on the Ras Dialogue Blog by Frederick National Laboratory

Great job @Val_LeBleu!

📣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!
