Excited to be @NeuroOnc presenting our work on #DIPG, radiation & the immune microenvironment. Thank you @doctweettweet for all of the incredible mentorship & opportunities you’ve given me over the years. So proud of the growing Gartrell Lab! @columbiacancer#SNO2022
It's Back-to-Back paper day at @CD_AACR! Also now online - two papers from the groups of @JunQiLab & @FilbinMariella (@DanaFarber) and the group of Zhiguo Zhang (@ColumbiaMed) showing H3K27M pediatric gliomas are dependent on SWI/SNF complex core subunits (e.g. SMARCA4)👇🧵
⭐New Research HIghlight: Women are credited less than men are in scientific publications and patents; a new study in @Nature suggests that their contributions are systematically under-recognized across all career stages and scientific fields.

#truestory - 26yo woman with 3 kids presents with malignant brain tumor and she's pregnant. She needs surgery, radiation and chemotherapy that she can't get while pregnant. Women deserve autonomy over their bodies and access to abortions. Yes, this affects #neurosurgery too.
Soy un privilegiado.
Mis papás son universitarios, había una biblioteca en mi casa y fui a un buen colegio.
No es mi culpa, pero por eso tengo una responsabilidad.
No de autoflagelarme, sino de ayudar a los que no nacieron con privilegios.
Porque eso tampoco es su culpa.
“Already, the United States claims the highest rate of maternal and infant mortality among wealthy nations. Should the court overturn Roe v. Wade, these grim statistics will only get worse,” argued a Nature editorial last month https://t.co/xOJcoMsHJI
So proud to share our paper "Molecular profiling identifies targeted therapy opportunities in pediatric solid cancer" in @NatureMedicine with amazing co-authors led by @janeway_MD Thank you to all of our patients & families!!!

Wonderful to interview Matthias Karajannis @MSKCancerCenter and Kee Kiat (Aaron) Yeo @DanaFarber for the latest @NeuroOnc podcast on use of BRAF inhib for pediatric high-grade glioma. Small cohort, but durable responses in patients who continued treatment. https://t.co/Ca5Uutema5
@AmericanAir 2nd suitcase lost over the past 6 months. Last one at AMS on 6/19. tracking not available w our tag#. No updates on the file report over the past 3 days. No answer to emails. No answer to DM. What do we have to do for an answer? #americanairlines#lostlugagge
I wanted to share this video from one of my patients who underwent the focused ultrasound procedure for treatment of his tremor. Very excited to show everyone his incredible results and want to invite everyone to share their improvements and outcomes from treatment as well!
Taiwan-based manufacturer NaviFUS recently announced that it will begin a new clinical trial using its focused ultrasound system to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier to increase efficacy of radiotherapy in patients with primary brain tumors.

It was amazing to have the opportunity to present our DMG work at ISPNO! Nothing in this poster would have been possible without the enormous help and support from @JovanaPavisic As a PhD student, your mentors are everything. I sure got the best! #CalifanoLab
