Not all prostate cancers follow the same molecular playbook! 🧬

🚨🚨Excited to share our new work in @CellReports, spearheaded by graduate student @RizwanKinza 👏and medical student Sai Manikonda👏, revealing distinct genomic alterations and transcriptional programs associated with SPOP-mutant prostate cancer. Another step toward more biologically informed precision oncology! @BCMFromtheLabs

Above all, grateful to the patients who generously contributed their biospecimens to advance cancer research. 💕

A heartfelt thank you to our collaborators for their hard work, support, and invaluable feedback throughout this journey. @CCoarfa @marthamims

And a special shout-out to the often-unsung heroes of science—our reviewers! Their thoughtful and constructive feedback made this a stronger manuscript. 💕

Proud of this team and grateful for the support of @BCMDeptMedicine @bcmhouston, @PCF_Science, CDMRP PCRP and @NIH @theNCI

Of note, @yeonsookim_phd (@theNCI K99/R00 awardee) is on the academic job market, so keep an eye out for her. She is an outstanding RNA and cancer biologist!

[Hsieh Lab @HsiehLab]

Ever wonder if tRNAs can regulate the identity of a cancer cell?

@HsiehLab @FredHutch postdoc @yeonsookim_phd did and discovered a single tRNA that can control lineage dependency and drug sensitivity in prostate cancer published today @Nature: https://t.co/V7FHTM0l5M

This account is hacked, in case anyone is wondering why “Howard Soule” has suddenly begun spewing out financial “advice.” Unfollow and find the real Dr. Soule on LinkedIn instead.

[Prostate Cancer Foundation @PCFnews]

The world’s leading prostate cancer researchers came to Carlsbad to share their work, and patients and caregivers came with the questions that matter most.

For 33 years, PCF has brought science and lived experience together to move research forward.

[Tyler Seibert MD PhD @TylerSbrt]

How many scientists study #ProstateCancer because of Howard Soule?

How many collaborations originated with an intro from Howard?

How many lives have been touched by this wonderful man?

Thank you, Howard!

@PCF_Science tribute to Howard!
