#CARTcells for #DIPG #DMG clinical trial (1st arm) results are out today. Full Tweetorial coming, but first want to share the story of a patient whose #DIPG has disappeared for over 3 years. It is a milestone and moment of hope on a journey filled with so much grief.
“There’s a lot of loss that led to this research,” Drew’s dad said. “I hope those families know that this success is because of them.”

Burnout isn't about hours worked.

In fact, there are usually much deeper causes.

Leaders should start to recognize when it's occurring,

And take steps to help.

@HeadSmartFellow Thank you ❤️ it’s an incredible privilege xx

[Michaela Griffin, PhD @MGriffin95]

Had my first “working on the same cancer that killed my mum is really hard & emotionally taxing” wobble as a postdoc yday, & it was NOT fun. I’m V grateful for amazing opportunities, a fab team & a supportive boss. I feel so lucky to do what I do, but sometimes it’s SO hard.

[Michaela Griffin, PhD @MGriffin95]

@VerveGardens Thank you so much Lorraine. Hope you’re doing well ❤️❤️

Fantastic news!!!!!!

Amazingly, my latest MRI brain scan shows no recurrence 10 months since my #glioblastoma presented with a seizure in #Poland. Median time to recurrence is 6 months.

I’m extremely hopeful that the novel #neoadjuvant combination #immunotherapy I’ve had & the scientific changes we demonstrated in my tumour post versus pre immunotherapy are being translated into clinical benefit! I’d be thrilled & very proud if this novel approach makes a difference for me & future #brain #cancer patients.

Thanks @ProfGLongMIA for devising & facilitating this superb approach & other members of multidisciplinary team including the @MelanomaAus team & other specialists @Dr_Brindha, Helen Wheeler, Michael Back & many others. Well done also to our @MelanomaAus translation research team including @HelenRizos! Special thanks for the ongoing support of my wife Katie, 3 kids Em, Matt & Luce, bro Mark, @subbie & many other family & friends!
