Interested in ERV's and immunity? Don't miss the next ECI seminar on Tuesday 4/18 at 12pm EST. We'll be hosting Dr. Maria Tokuyama who will be talking about "Crosstalk between endogenous retroviruses and immunity." Should be fantastic.

Excited to announce I successfully defended my PhD this morning on tumour intrinsic mechanisms of T cell suppression in lung cancer. With excellent supervision and guidance along the way from @ninan_abraham1 . Thank you! New doctor in town 👀🥼🧪

[Ninan Abraham @ninan_abraham1]

Congratulations on a successful PhD defense to Dr. Etienne Melese ⁦@melese_mi⁩! Outstanding written and oral defense on tumour intrinsic mechanisms of immune suppression in lung cancer. 🎉🎉👏🏾👏🏾 #ProudPI

[UBC Life Sciences Institute @ubclifesciences]

We are excited to host an @TheNetworkTUFH site visit Aug. 18 to three of our labs in the LSI!

Trainees working with @ninan_abraham1, @CTropini and @penningerlab (Vancouver) will share the latest #Tumormicroenvironment #Gutmicrobiome and #Organoids science with our guests.

@DeannaMPepin So cool!

[Cdn Lung Association @canlung]

August 1st is #WorldLungCancerDay. Although lung cancer rates have dropped in #Canada in the past few decades thanks to years of quit-smoking advocacy and clean air legislation, lung cancer remains the most deadly form of cancer in Canada.
