@BrodskyIgor @SunnyShinLab @AndrewOberst @briandanielsli @PepperMarion @GhajarLab Lastly, academic and biotech friends: please stay in touch if you’re hiring research assistants in the future! I hope to have a steady stream of trainees who will be excited to branch out after completing their undergraduate research in my group. (3/3)

[A G Snyder @Snyderses]

Some belated but exciting news! I'm officially an assistant professor @wwu_bio_dept, where my lab will study macrophage interactions with metastatic tumor cells. This is a dream combination of undergraduate teaching + research that I've been working towards for some time (1/3)

[A G Snyder @Snyderses]

There’s a lot to say about what this means to me. For now, I’ll stick to thanking some of the humans that helped me throughout my career to get here: @BrodskyIgor @SunnyShinLab @AndrewOberst @briandanielsli @PepperMarion @GhajarLab + too many others to list here (2/3)

Immune evasion of dormant disseminated tumor cells is due to their scarcity and can be overcome by T cell immunotherapies https://t.co/CIsOKGG5xq

[Cyrus Ghajar @GhajarLab]

Our latest - in joint collaboration w/ Stan Riddell’s Lab here at the Hutch – reveals a novel mode of immune evasion we call “relative scarcity” that explains why dormant disseminated tumor cells escape surveillance by antigen-directed T cells:

I am so excited to finally see my PhD work out in @CD_AACR. We were able to investigate the immunotherapeutic benefit of reprogramming cancer cells into antigen presenting cells and were surprised by the dramatic responses we observed. A brief thread on our findings:

[Fred Hutch Cancer Center @fredhutch]

Not only is #metastaticcancer deadly, it is also one of, if not the most, challenging areas of cancer biology. Fred Hutch hopes to change that with the launch of the Center for Metastasis Research Excellence, or MET-X, led by @GhajarLab. https://t.co/ItlFz0ep6N

[Brian Daniels @briandanielsli]

Happy to share that our department (Cell Biology and Neuroscience) at Rutgers is hiring again this year. We are searching for a new faculty member focused broadly on roles for non-neuronal cells in the CNS. More details in thread. https://t.co/jgC2GMhyf7

How do glioblastoma invade and colonize the entire brain ?
Overlaying molecular, structural and functional data helped us to uncover three layers of neuronal mechanisms driving glioblastoma invasion (https://t.co/rW8pVh21Me). A thread 🧵: (1/24)

[Jessica Osterhout PhD @Jess_Osterhout]

The paper describing my postdoc work is online today @Nature! We found that a specific population of neurons in the brain directly sense key immune molecules originating from brain epithelium and in response modulate multiple homeostatic circuits to generate sickness symptoms.

[Adrian Liston @LabListon]

Excited to share our new paper out at @NatImmunol today! We discovered the limiting factor for #brain #Tregs is #IL2, and developed a new #genetherapy to treat #traumaticbraininjury and other #neuroinflammatory pathologies. 1/12

Excited to share our new study, led by star undergrad Po-Lun Kung (who is starting a PhD at @CAMBUpenn this fall!). Short v: ZIKV infection reshapes neuronal transcriptome, including genes relevant for neurotransmission and psychiatric disease. (1/4) https://t.co/UZOZe2Udf9

Have you ever wondered why tumors rarely -if ever- metastasize to skeletal muscle? Our latest, led by superstar (former) @MCBSeattle graduate student and @WeintraubAward winner Sarah Crist (1/n)

“I don’t know enough to speak intelligently about the topic” is a phrase I will say freely and without the slightest bit of shame. Nobody needs my freezer burned take on everything. Sometimes the holy ghost says hush and read a book.
