Improving human health through research. Excited to bring you the latest news from @TheKennyLab as it grows and advances cancer research at @UIOWA

[Internal Medicine at Iowa @IntMedatIowa]

Colin Kenny, PhD, has won three major awards in recent months. Kenny researches melanoma, having developed a zebra fish model to identify uveal melanoma biomarkers. He also studies how a melanoma's location affects tumor behavior. Read more about his work: https://t.co/SvvdRugk9q

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new @nature paper, Miranda Hunter found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: https://t.co/jTlmZ70kaH

@Abbeyandsmokey @UIowaResearch @PASPCR1 @ZebrafishRock Interesting question, we have not tested this but I suspect similar results.

[Colin Kenny @TheKennyLab]

Excited to share our recent pre-print describing a novel model of Uveal Melanoma in Adult Zebrafish. @UIowaResearch @PASPCR1 @ZebrafishRock

Mitfa-Independent Melanocyte Progenitors are Highly Susceptible to GNAQ-induced Uveal Melanoma in Adult Zebrafish https://t.co/2Quhdsu8kU

@beck_md Congratulations

[Femi Suraju, MD, MPH, MSc @FemiSuraju]

Outstanding presentation by tour de force @JChang_MD on the crosstalk between MITF and TFE3 in driving melanoma metastases at @UIowaCancer Scientific Retreat ! First podium presentation of work from the Kenny lab @TheKennyLab ! Congrats! 👏🏾👏🏾

[Colin Kenny @TheKennyLab]

@whitefishlab @DLMQN Awesome work, congratulations on a beautiful paper.

[National Academy of Sciences @theNASciences]

#NASmember Funmi Olopade’s genetic research revealed that the African pan-genome contains 10 percent more DNA than the current human reference genome, and that a fuller picture of the genetic basis of breast cancer is needed to help inform treatment and save lives. #NAS160

[Kelly Mulfaul @KellyMulfaul]

Excited & honored to be awarded a New Investigator @_BrightFocus Foundation Macular Degeneration Research award combining my PhD training in innate immunity @SDoyleTcd and postdoc in choroid biology & iPSC modeling @ChoroidLab @StemCellsEh to study choroidal macrophages in AMD.
