In a new @JAMAOnc study, @LabRaleigh and colleagues report the results from a prospective genomic profiling analysis of more than 1100 meningiomas. Their findings could help guide evolving diagnostic criteria and clinical trial design: https://t.co/3yuXU8xBvY

What a great #NF1 Family Symposium at @ChildrensLA! Thankful for the invitation to present on Transition to Adult Care & Adult/#AYA #NF1 Care by the CHLA NF Team - I learned a lot too. Grateful for our dedicated community; I definitely do not miss the traffic, though! #EndNF

Holding the fort down at @NeurosurgUCSF #NeuroOnc Day after #Christmas Fri-YAY clinic with fellow junior faculty! Missing @JennieWTaylor (who is on a much needed vacation but still answering emails, lol). Happy to report that all patients were seen and cared for. :)

Congratulations to @UCSF physician scientist @sjohnliu for being named one of this year's @sontagfdn Distinguished Scientists! 🎉 This award supports his lab's research using functional genomics to study treatment resistance in #glioblastoma: https://t.co/XViSpE9aEF

NF1 is frequently mutated in #glioblastoma, yet therapies targeting this alteration often fall short.

@VasuLabUCSF & team @UCSF now show NF1 mutant glioblastomas exhibit prognostic signatures with distinct sensitivity to MEK inhibition: https://t.co/FRfozC2Arh

@AshleySumrallMD @ucsfhealth @VasuLabUCSF @UCSF @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSFChildrens @UCSFBenioffOAK @UCSF_PBC @ChildrensTumor @5Reddys @NeuroOnc Thank you! Those rapid sessions are very rapid! 😂

[Brian Na, MD PhD @bnamdphd]

On behalf of our #Neurofibromatosis Program, I was honored to present our initial findings at #SNO2025 on our 369 #NF1 patient cohort at @ucsfhealth - looking forward to building on these findings with @VasuLabUCSF and colleagues at @UCSF & beyond. #EndNF

[Brian Na, MD PhD @bnamdphd]

Looking forward to working with Chris and her amazing team to applying what she and our Neuro-Cognitive Team has learned for our pediatric brain tumor survivors! #pediatricbraintumors

[RaleighLab @LabRaleigh]

Zora Arum from @LabRaleigh presenting on the development and implementation of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary #meningioma program at #sno2025. @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSFRadOnc @UCSF @UCSFCancer

[UCSF Neurosurgery @NeurosurgUCSF]

.@NeuroOnc president-elect Shawn Hervey-Jumper, MD, giving a beautiful overview of advances in mapping and image-guided neurosurgery for brain tumors. Surgical goals have evolved with better subgroup analysis and techniques have evolved alongside to maximize safey. #SNO2025

[UCSF Neurosurgery @NeurosurgUCSF]

David Raleigh, MD, PhD, presenting data from @LabRaleigh on genomic profiling of over 1000 consecutive, prospective meningiomas to a full house at #SNO2025. Understanding the molecular alterations of these tumors is leading to better biomarkers of treatment response.

[UCSF Neurosurgery @NeurosurgUCSF]

An inspiring keynote lecture by @UCSFChildrens pediatric neuro-oncologist Sabine Mueller, MD, PhD, on her work with @PNOC_kids to launch international clinical trials of effective combination therapies for children diagnosed with #DIPG and #DMG. #UCSFProud #SNO2025

A huge congratulations to Susan Chang, MD, for receiving the 2025 Lisa DeAngelis Award for Excellence in Neuro-Oncology Education! 🎉🥇The award recognizes her extraordinary impact on training the next generation of brain tumor researchers. #SNO2025

[Brian Na, MD PhD @bnamdphd]

From a crazy call week to jumping right into co-chairing the #SNO2025 Review Course - @JennieWTaylor is a boss! @NeurosurgUCSF

[SNO @NeuroOnc]

Kicking off #SNO2025 with the #NeuroOncology Review Course! Co-Chairs Sadhana Jackson, Rimas Lukas, and Jennie Taylor welcomed attendees to a full day of high-quality education and CME opportunities covering the entire patient journey.

[UCSF Neurosurgery @NeurosurgUCSF]

We're looking forward to reconnecting with our colleagues next week at #SNO2025! Check out the full list of presentations from our team of researchers: https://t.co/xmUTxoJKJ7
