🚀New adventures in #DrugDiscovery: We designed multitarget leads that hit Hsp70, Hsp90 & Cdc37 at once—disrupting chaperone networks that fuel tumor growth. Collaboration with @MedMol, @GestwickiLab Labs #CancerResearch #CompChem @AIRC @Structure_CP

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” thanks so much Ronen and Dean for all your hard work during the summer. You made our summer outreach program very special.

[Jennifer Heritz @JenniferHeritz]

My first, first author research article is out now! With @kmeluni , we explore how post translational modifications affect Hsp90 inhibitor binding, then use AI to predict these PTMs across Hsp90. A cool project important for further development of these anti-cancer drugs!

[Mehdi Mollapour PhD @MedMol]

Just out in Journal of Biological Chemistry!
Our latest paper uses deep learning to dissect PTM crosstalk on Hsp90 and its role in drug binding.
Proud of this team effort! https://t.co/w7puS4je4C

Release day is officially here!!! 🎉 I put my heart and soul into this book to share an honest and raw perspective of what it was like to battle an ultra rare stage IV kidney cancer at 29.

I can’t believe release day has finally arrived and I feel so incredibly grateful to still be here to watch it come to life. I hope you enjoy the read!

[Jennifer Heritz @JenniferHeritz]

I’m truly honored to work every day in this field! 🤍

Amazing Grand Round by our role model Dr Uzzo on how to be a great mentor! @UrologyUpstate @UpstateUroRes @FoxChaseCancer

[Jennifer Heritz @JenniferHeritz]

Congratulations @BeckySagerMDPhD! Nothing but great things ahead! 🌟🙌

[Rebecca Sager @BeckySagerMDPhD]

Thrilled to be headed to @UrologyMSK for fellowship!! So grateful for all the mentors at @UrologyUpstate who have made it possible

[Jennifer Heritz @JenniferHeritz]

Still recovering from a full and inspiring weekend at the @GWISci National Conference! Thank you to my fellow chapter members for helping organize such a great event hosted right here at Upstate. Ready to stay grounded and keep researching with grit and grace (thnx Dr. Patteson!)

[Jennifer Heritz @JenniferHeritz]

Not possible without a supportive team helping me. Happy to share our collective work at a great retreat!!!

[Mehdi Mollapour PhD @MedMol]

Congratulations @JenniferHeritz for the best talk @UpstateCancer retreat. Is there any award that you have not won ever since joining my lab. Super proud of you.
