@drkomanduri @Bob_Wachter @UCSFCancer @UCSFHospitals @SylvesterCancer Welcome to UCSF! We are excited to have you!

[Catherine Smith, MD @SmithLabSF]

@apwiita Right there with you...

[Catherine Smith, MD @SmithLabSF]

My takeaway: worth a try in pts who progress/don't respond to gilteritinib, esp if no RAS/MAPK mutation and esp as bridge to allo.

[Catherine Smith, MD @SmithLabSF]

OK, I admit it. Having some FOMO with #ASH21 from home. Miss seeing my AML friends and colleagues in person but glad to see @jaltmanmd @Daver_Leukemia among others online this am. Will still try to tweet my favorite #FLT3 talks. First, QUIZ/DAC/Ven in FLT3-ITD AML #leusm

[Catherine Smith, MD @SmithLabSF]

Myelosuppression is a problem but improved with stopping ven and early discontinuation of quizartinib. Note: low dose quizartinib (30mg) was RP2D.

@MartinTallman This makes me so sad. He was one of my small group mentors when I did the @ASH_hematology @EHA_Hematology TRTH program in 2010. His encouragement had a huge impact on me. I wouldn't be doing what I am doing now without his mentorship and support. What a loss.

Proud of this collaboration with Adam Abate’s lab describing genotypic and phenotypic discordance and evolution in AML at the single cell level. Read all about it! @UCSF @UCSFCancer

.@UCSF_BioE @SmithLabSF DAb-seq for simultaneous capture of DNA genotype and cell surface phenotype from single cells at high throughput.

Really excited about a piece of prelim data today and told family about it over dinner.
Daughter: "Are you going to win the Nobel Prize?"
Me: "Uh, no."
Son: "Will you get in Wikipedia?"
Me: "Uh, maybe?"
Both: "That's cool." Go back to eating.

I am speechless. The level of racist misogyny in these words is unbelievable. These is no place for this in medicine and medical training. #DNRTulane

“I’m afraid that white medical students wouldn’t follow or rank favorably a program with a black program director; [however] we’ll be comfortable with you sharing a position as co-director with the previous [white male] program director.”

@MissionBio Yay Dalia! I’ve enjoyed working with you #WomenInScience together

[Catherine Smith, MD @SmithLabSF]

A pleasure to see Kevin Shannon give today’s 63rd Annual Faculty Research Lecture in Basic Science. @UCSF @UCSFCancer. Kevin is a model physician scientist, mentor and friend. He’s not on Twitter but he deserves all the #MedTwitter love #leusm #mentor @ASH_hematology

[Catherine Smith, MD @SmithLabSF]

@hemedoc @myelomawolf @UCSF This is amazing
