LET'S GOOO! Last push of our fundraiser og @Rupeethon with @playersvscancer to raise money to support cancer research! Join us at https://t.co/4Urmc2efIC #RupeethonForever #PlayToEndCancer

[Amanda Decker-Farrell @ScienceSiren7]

Day 2 of @Rupeethon! We're partnering with @playersvscancer to raise money for @AACR! Tune in at https://t.co/4Urmc2efIC #PlayToEndCancer #RupeethonForever

My PhD student is defending!!! @ScienceSiren7 is an amazing biomedical engineer co-mentored with @tdanino who developed the #PDAC explant model in our lab and also developed tumor-targeting bacteria.

[Alvaro Curiel-García, PhD @AlvaroCurielGa1]

Congrats to @ScienceSiren7, new PhD and great person who has defended her thesis today. Brilliant talk!! It’s been a pleasure to discuss science with you and thanks for teaching me a lot of “bacteria” stuff 🙃🙃 @columbiacancer @KenOliveLab

Big day for Amanda @ScienceSiren7 !! But with all her loved ones and friends in the audience, nothing can go wrong. @KenOliveLab is proud!

[KenOliveLab @KenOliveLab]

Congratulations Dr. Decker!!! @ScienceSiren7 delivered an outstanding defense of her thesis. An incredible speaker AND writer. To quote one committee member, "It took me 110 pages of close reading before I found even one typo, just so I could feel like I was being useful."

[Amanda Decker-Farrell @ScienceSiren7]

So thrilled to have been part of this work with @MC_Hasselluhn and @KenOliveLab! A full-detailed protocol for the explant model will be coming soon!!

Pleased to share our new preprint re a multicellular paracrine cascade that drives angiosuppression in PDAC. We also present an investigational framework for studying complex in vivo phenotypes using tumor explants, systems biology, GEM models, and molbio.https://t.co/hH35NEcDsV

So excited to share my first first co-author paper out of @KenOliveLab! Thanks to @AlvaroCurielGa1 for entertaining this crazy tumor slice idea! @ColumbiaMed @columbiacancer @cudldrc

[Alvaro Curiel-García, PhD @AlvaroCurielGa1]

Happy to share our @STARProtocols paper describing a new approach to generate PDXs for #PancreaticCancer using tumor slices. Congrats also to @ScienceSiren7 for pushing this hard and make it possible. @KenOliveLab @ColumbiaMed @columbiacancer @cudldrc

It breaks our hearts but Stella's lymphoma has relapsed.Thankfully,it was caught early & she has a good prognosis.She's in great spirits & otherwise doesn't realize she's sick.We hate to ask,but any help toward funding her treatment would be so appreciated.https://t.co/dYmKSqIoHR

Truly an amazing weekend! Thank you so so much to everyone who was a part of Stellathon- anyone who joined us online, those that donated, and especially to the Rupeecrew that helped to make it all happen. Thank you all so much for your generosity!

[Amanda Decker-Farrell @ScienceSiren7]

Today's the day!! We're making a few last minute preparations and will be going live at 10am! Join us at https://t.co/5VIYDx2wlK

Do you like Zelda games? Do you like puppies? Join on March 5-6th for a gaming marathon for Miss Stella's cancer treatment!!

[Amanda Decker-Farrell @ScienceSiren7]

This month our Stella was diagnosed with lymphoma at just 6yo.This week we're thankful that she's feeling good&responding well to treatment. We're determined to do everything we can for this scruffy sweetheart to have the long&happy life that she deserves. https://t.co/6AfaNWie6k

@KenOliveLab The probiotic gives it a little extra zip

@KenOliveLab I've been told I can get good money for my cheesecakes... Maybe that will make up the difference?
