Had such an incredible time at the @pa_aap conference this weekend! How inspiring to be around so many wonderful pediatricians, and what an honor to be able to share our work with them🤩

@csussquad And I have absolutely no shame about it

New blog post on why pediatric melanoma research matters is out now! I’m excited to be working on this project with @DrSeynnaeve and the team at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh!

Very proud of this important work on how thyroid status impacts the brain and behavior. Led by postdoc Dan Hochbaum who assembled quite a team https://t.co/iWwukZS7On

"Pediatric melanoma poses a unique challenge for diagnosis and treatment, as it does not present with the same clinical criteria as adult melanoma. This project will explore the role of specific genetic mutations in melanoma prognosis in pediatric and adolescent/young adult patients. By elucidating genomic drivers of disease in these patients, we will provide groundwork for subsequent standardization of prognosis and treatment recommendations in this patient population." - Alexandra Dubinsky

In this review our team at @PittNeurosurg highlight specific mechanisms myeloid cells can use to induce immune suppression in pediatric gliomas, as well as non-CNS tumors.

The new latest from the lab. Why and how does thyroid hormone change exploratory behaviors? Here we show that in mice it acts directly on excitatory cortical projection neurons to re-activate axon guidance programs.

@csussquad STOMPED ON SIGHT

[Alexandra (Sasha) Dubinsky @sash_dubinsky]

@csussquad Huh really? No idea, never experienced anything like it at all, ever

[Alexandra (Sasha) Dubinsky @sash_dubinsky]

@blsabatini Thank you Bernardo!!

[Alexandra (Sasha) Dubinsky @sash_dubinsky]

First day of school!! Excited for the next four years with these brilliant future doctors!

[Alexandra (Sasha) Dubinsky @sash_dubinsky]

@nlbedford Thank you so much!!!! :))

[Alexandra (Sasha) Dubinsky @sash_dubinsky]

Incredibly fitting that I got in to medical school while in the middle of an intracranial injection in a mouse. Also very fitting that I finished the surgery amid all the shock and excitement. Couldn’t be more elated than I am today :)))))))

[Alexandra (Sasha) Dubinsky @sash_dubinsky]

Come join me in the Sabatini Lab! Happy to geek out about this project with anyone who will listen :)

[Bernardo Sabatini @blsabatini]
