Happy to share that our work on TET2 CH in ICI therapy is now out in @CR_AACR!

We found that TET2 mutations promote myeloid co-stimulatory programs and suppress T cell exhaustion, contributing to improved immunotherapy response!

I'm super excited to share that our work on clonal hematopoiesis in the tumour microenvironment is now published in @CellRepMed!!

By tracking CH mutations from the blood into the tumour (CH-Tum), we uncovered some new insights about CH in solid cancer

What if acquired blood mutations could predict survival ​& the best treatment for lung cancer patients? 🩸🫁​ #ClonalHematopoiesis Come say hi!​ 👋​📍Poster 4059 (500s) | TODAY | 6–8 PM PT. Thanks @ASH_hematology for supporting this trip w/ an abstract award! #ASH24

[Ava Boutilier @AvaBoutilier1]

I’m so unbelievably honoured to receive this award. Thank you to my mentors, past and present, for all of their support in applying for this award. I can’t wait to get the research started! 🧪👩‍🔬

[Casey Wong @CaseyWongSci]

@QMyPath @CHSchief @ASH_hematology Thanks for being the best mentor @QMyPath 😊 Also HUGE shoutout to @marcobuttigieg_ for his analysis of the RNA-seq data - this was a major team effort!

[Casey Wong @CaseyWongSci]

Did you know 1 in 5 lung cancer patients may ALSO have ​#ClonalHematopoiesis?🩸🫁 Knowing this could transform patient prognosis & treatment decisions. Catch my pitch📍Sun, Dec 10 | 7:30–10 PM PT | Luce Loft. Grateful to @CHSchief & my team @QMyPath for the support! #ASH24

[Marco Buttigieg @marcobuttigieg_]

For friends at #ASH2024 - I’ll be presenting our work on CH infiltrating the solid tumour microenvironment at poster 1287 tonight at 5:30. Please stop by if you’re interested in learning more!

[Casey Wong @CaseyWongSci]

That’s a wrap on #TMM2024! So grateful to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. Blown away by how passionate these folks are about advancing patient care with stem cells 💜 Until next time! 👋 (Also, meet my new mini llama!🦙👀)

[Casey Wong @CaseyWongSci]

@Sanjanagrover07 @StemCellNetwork You’re an amazing speaker! Congrats on runner-up best pitch 🎉🗣️

Imagine a future where bone marrow donors are no longer needed—replaced by lab-grown cells 🩸 My team @CNRC_NRC and I are working to make this a reality! Visit poster 4️⃣2️⃣ to learn how our iPSC-derived blood stem cell platform could offer new sources of blood products! #TMM2024
