Associate Professor, Salk Institute for Biological Studies

[Salk Institute @salkinstitute]

Nine years ago, Professor Diana Hargreaves embarked on a V Foundation-funded project to find better drug targets for cancers with mutations in a multi-protein complex called SWI/SNF that regulates DNA structure and stability.

Today, that project's exceptional success is being recognized with another V Foundation recognition—a 2025 All-Star Translational Award. Diana will receive $1 million to advance her new project, which aims to improve immunotherapy in patients with pancreatic cancer.

Word has quickly gotten around about the untimely death of @slimanjbensmaia. I wanted to pass on a couple more bits of information, including a gofundme for Kerry and kids (https://t.co/VEcjF4KIJn) and a photo album (https://t.co/koRZ2TfreO). Add your favorites!
