@AIZiadSaliba @DAVAOnc @nyulangone Thank you, completely agree. This is a very early snapshot of developing data!

[DAVA Oncology @DAVAOnc]

Dr. @PeterYuMD @nyulangone presents KRAS ctDNA monitoring in patients receiving daraxonrasib, with a 45% reported RAS ctDNA clearance rate and NYU cohort data showing KRAS ctDNA was detected in 60% at baseline and 40% clearance on follow-up.
The key question: Does early KRAS ctDNA clearance on daraxonrasib associate with clinical efficacy, including ORR and PFS? #DAVAGI #BermudaGI2026

Pulling out all the stops vs pancreatic cancer.
The recent FDA-approved, celebrated drug daraxonrasib, increased median survival by 6.5 months @RevMedicines
That's a positive step but clearly not enough. This new @Cancer_Cell paper lays out a path for more.

Congratulations to @Perlmutter_CC physician scientist @PeterYuMD on submitting his K08 grant on novel resistance mechanisms to KRAS inhibitors in #PancreaticCancer.
Now it’s 🍪 time!

@Aiims1742 @TuomasTammela @MSKCancerCenter @Nature Starting with a SLC gene is 🔑 😂

It would be awesome to co-run a lab with another PI. I feel like there’s a lot of growth potential

1/ Grant-writing tips. This #tweetorial mainly applies to @NIH grants (particularly R01s) but some stuff may be applicable to other types of grants and funding agencies. Based on my experience writing grants for 20 yrs +lots of cringe-worthy missteps and rejections along the way!

[Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health @Perlmutter_CC]

Kudos to Dr. Alec Kimmelman on a $1.7 million Drug Discovery Award from @TheMarkFdn. He & Dr. Seth Parker @UBC will work to ID molecules that inhibit the amino acid transporter SLC38A2, a novel target for #pancreaticcancer @nyugrossman @NYULH_RadOnc

Thanks to Liz, @ConquerCancerFd, @SAAswim, and my mentor Alec Kimmelman for this Young Investigator Award. Working hard so we can improve outcomes for patients like Ted.

[Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Health @Perlmutter_CC]

Olympic swimmer 🏊 @ebeisel34 partnered with @SAAswim to fund a young investigator award in memory of her dad who died from pancreatic cancer.

In this @ASCO podcast, Liz & our researcher Dr. Peter Yu reflect on why it matters to accelerate research.
