The most practice changing trial from #ASCO25 is now live on @NEJM .If this was a drug, this would be approved today. Globally relevant and low-cost intervention that is not only delaying relapse but actually improving survival.
Perfect case example of a #cancergroundshot trial.

Excited to share with all our latest work on the use of single cell tools in following IDH mutant AML patients during their treatment! Out today @CellStemCell !! An amazing collaboration with @AkEisfeld & @PapaemmanuilLab & @landau_lab !!! Driven by the impressive @MariaSirenko and @soobeomlee & Zhengxi Sun at @NYUGSOM_Path

incredible feat of work!!

[David R. Liu @davidrliu]

In a medical milestone, a customized base editor was developed, characterized in human and mouse cells, tested in mice, studied for safety in non-human primates, cleared by @US_FDA for clinical trial use, manufactured as a complex with an LNP, and dosed into a baby with a severe, rapidly progressing genetic disease... all in an astounding 7 months. Best of all, the infant patient shows apparent benefit. Congratulations to @kiranmusunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, and other team members for this heroic and inspiring effort, which has implications for the hundreds of millions of patients that suffer from thousands of genetic diseases.

Thrilled to share the first pre-print from our lab! We tackled a big question: Why are some pediatric leukemias extremely aggressive? We explored the developmental origins of fusion-driven acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Let's dive in! #AML #NUP98 n/13

Had a great time attending the NYC MD/PhD wide symposium this week! Grateful to be surrounded by fellow MD-PhD students and to have heard from @KarunaMDPhD about her research and career journey!

[Maria Trifas (she/her) @MariaTrifas]

Congrats to all involved! It's incredible to see this elegant work out

ICYMI: check out our lab's latest publication in Cell, where we discovered that FGFBP1 is a novel marker of stemness in the intestinal epithelium https://t.co/qpQUdQUdD6

Wow, this is huge.

The Biden Administration just announced that starting November, DACA recipients will be eligible for health insurance through the ACA marketplace.

A big step towards ensuring that health care access is a human right.

So grateful to all the students in our program for coming out to participate in our annual retreat including academic talks, student posters, a DEI workshop, social activities, and more! (1/9)

My colleagues and I are shedding light on a concerning trend we've termed 'domestic helicopter research.' This involves researchers dropping in marginalized communities, conducting studies, and leaving w/o any true community or local researcher engagement. https://t.co/4tvBFHOvyP

A reminder of the trajectory of Nobel Laureate Katalin Kariko. Passed over for a tenured position, grants rejected, ideas shunned and overlooked. She was just too far ahead of the curve and not savvy at playing the traditional scientific game. Now look! https://t.co/P8pkHetMd8

[Maria Trifas (she/her) @MariaTrifas]

Fascinating work! I also really appreciate the inclusion of #OverlyHonestMethods for insight into the non-linear research journey behind a publication!!
