No wonder why boosting our immune response in cancer can be very effective: 1st in vivo assessment of tumor-specific CD8+T cells shows they become dysfunctional, exhausted very rapidly, within hours

A preclinical MIT study led by @LeyuanM, Assistant Professor in @PennMedicine & member of the #PennBioengineering Grad Group, found that using a vaccine to boost the response of CAR T cells also helps the immune system to generate new T cells.

Our “vaccine + CAR T -> antigen spreading” story is finally online🥳 —an effective approach to enhance CAR T therapy against solid tumors with antigen heterogeneity. We are recruiting motivated postdocs to continue this exciting research! Please spread the words 🥳

Vaccine boosting modifies CAR T cell metabolism, promoting crosstalk between CAR T cells & endogenous immunity to promote antigen spreading to effectively treating tumors with antigen heterogeneity @CellCellPress @LeyuanM

[Leyuan Ma @LeyuanM]

The focus will be on developing novel engineered cell therapy to directly treat antigenically heterogenous solid tumors.

Did you know that you can easily extract DNA from a strawberry -- in your kitchen? While you can technically extract DNA from any plant or animal, strawberries work really well for this!

In my very limited experience, the email can make or break an application. Cannot stress it enough to prospective postdocs to keep it well-written and concise (2-3 short paragraphs). And if it’s a generic, cookie cutter email….we can tell.

I was in deep sorrow and still couldn’t believe my PhD advisor, MRG, passed away last week. He has influenced me so much on my science, career and sense of humor.Every time I come to MA, I stops by UMass to visit him. I am in MA now…

[UMass Chan Medical School @UMassChan]

It is with deep sadness that we share Michael Green, MD, PhD, has died. Please honor his legacy by reading about his work as one of the most distinguished biomedical research leaders in our academic community and across the nation: https://t.co/81gyDsaWZo

[Eric Green @NHGRI_Director]

My older brother, Michael R. Green, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of 69 late last week. This is a huge loss -- for his wife Maria, for @UMassChan, for me, for science.

[Leyuan Ma @LeyuanM]

@NHGRI_Director @UMassChan Michael has been a great mentor to me. Being probably his last graduate student, I had his wisdom guiding me and my career so much, definitely my sense of humor. Still recall the day I went to his office asking to join his lab, I had to promise to learn both science and humor

The extendable/retractable light saber is pure engineering magic. And sturdy enough for live-action dueling. Photos are unedited beyond cropping.
