Is high tumor mutational burden (TMB) always a ticket to immune response?
🧬 New study reveals that mismatch repair deficiency (MMRd) doesn't always lead to immune activation in cancer. It's not just about TMB, but the nature and distribution of mutations matter! 🔍

Let’s challenge dogma!
Let me know if you do this.
In 2023, we will be launching an AI-based individual risk model which can predict clinical outcomes for newly diagnosed myeloma patients (called "IRMMa")
We plan to make this new PRECISION MEDICINE tool available for FREE to myeloma patients and physicians worldwide. Stay tuned!
Try this tool just posted online. It integrates spatial transcriptomics and histology images to annotate tumor and TME cells at super resolution. So thankful to be part of this brilliant team @DrMingyaoLi @DrJianHu@humam_kadara https://t.co/irtlk0Xhq1
I am excited to share that my postdoctoral research is out online today! The unexpected discovery that the EBV-encoded EBNA1 breaks a fragile site on chromosome 11 by binding to a cluster of EBV-like repeats. @nature@UCSanDiego@DamonRunyon https://t.co/ekXgZucG5S

Our @ndtsocial editorial on "nephrotoxicity" of bortezomib in #Myeloma
🙏🏽 to have 🌎 experts in heme and renal contribute.
A great review of positive heme/renal/patient impact of bortezomib

Excited to see the paper finally out 😊 Great collaboration with Leng-Siew Yeap at Shanghai Jiao Tong U. and Roberto Chiarle at Harvard U. We dissected the mechanisms that generate rare indels of antibody diversification processes, with implications for the generation of bnAbs

The first virology paper from the lab!!! We discovered that APOBEC3B regulates the innate immune system, promoting translation blockage and protecting stress granules from RNase L during RNA viral infections, independently of its deaminase activity. https://t.co/0ujyPdP8ZX
