@BeckyPatrias She also passed along this nice message: "Please thank your lab for the work that you do. The political side anti-research voice is currently loud and negative. The vast majority of us are deeply grateful for the work that you basic scientists are doing." Thank you!
Excited for City of Hope Car-T to now be open at U of M for children with DMG/DIPG! This wouldnt be possible without @chadtough support! First Car-T for brain tumors in the Midwest!!

Treating tumors in the brain and spinal cord can be challenging.
Here, Drs. Read and Yanik discuss CAR-T therapy, its use in other clinical trials at U-M Health Rogel Cancer Center and the new Phase I trials that started in 2025: https://t.co/6r6uWSoov9.
Thrilled to share our work @FilbinMariella, @GojoJohannes, and @CarlKoschmann, now published in @Cancer_Cell. We present a translational approach identifying the PDGFRA inhibitor avapritinib as a novel targeted treatment for pHGG with PDGFRA alterations. https://t.co/nm9qbc7T7U
Happy 7th birthday to our precious angel Yuvi. We miss you (and your shenanigans) every single day. Today we celebrated your life, your legacy and the boundless love we share. 💛 #Forever3#EndDMG#EndPediatricBrainCancer

HUGE Congratulations to @umichmedicine@KoschmannLab student Kallen Schwark defending his dissertation! Vistory dance here: https://t.co/o76ORegdTl
Look for his Cancer Cell paper coming out 3/13 on use of avapritinib in HGG in collab with @FilbinMariella and @gojojohannes labs
So excited for this beautiful work led by @ShemaEfrat - bringing us closer to much-needed multi-modal monitoring of DIPG/DMG - thanks to families and major support from @chadtough
Proud to share our new paper: liquid biopsy systems to detect and monitor pediatric gliomas. This has been an extremely challenging project, made possible by the talented Nir Erez, @FurthNoa, and our collaborators @CarlKoschmann and @vennetilab. https://t.co/1NwNOvaxlo
