Radiology Match 2026 is here! Congrats to our future @UCSDRadRes !!! #match2026

[Jason Chiang, MD, PhD @JChiang795]

Honored to share that our lab has received an @NIH @NIBIBgov Trailblazer award to study antibody-drug-conjugate labeled microbubbles - yet tough to celebrate fully knowing that many @UCLA federal grants have recently been suspended. Progress requires support!

Liver Cancer Ablation Success May Be Boosted by Blocking Galectin-1

UCLA researchers have shown that Galectin-1 fuels metabolism that helps liver tumors resist thermal ablation

A new UCLA study may explain why some liver tumors return after heat-based treatment. Researchers found that a protein, Galectin-1, helps cancer cells survive and regrow. Blocking it could make therapy more effective and reduce recurrence.
