New in @sciencemagazine! Our study reveals how mutant IDH1 inhibition activates tumor immunity by inducing dsDNA sensing. Read more: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #CancerResearch #Cholangiocarcinoma #IDH1 1/n


Another cool study!Transcriptome-scale RNA-targeting CRISPR screens reveal essential lncRNAs in human cells: @CellCellPress cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Ten years ago, I wrote a research proposal with a big question in mind: what role do the lncRNAs play? Now, a decade later, and with the incredible members in the @nevillesanjana lab, I'm finally starting to uncover some answers. Check our findings now published in @CellCellPress



Can’t wait to share this beautiful story from my friend @yujungche published on @Nature Are you also interested in cancer metabolism? Take a look! nature.com/articles/s4158…

I’m excited to share our latest study in @nature on this novel compound called Gliocidin, that targets glioblastoma (#GBM), the most malignant brain tumor. #drugdiscovery #cancer #cancermetabolism @GSKGradSchool @MSKCancerCenter nature.com/articles/s4158…

What a wake-up call! UMass Chan congratulates Victor R. Ambros, PhD, the Silverman Chair in Natural Sciences and professor of molecular medicine at @UMassChan, co-winner of the 2024 @NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of microRNA: direc.to/mmHu

Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨ This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee. #NobelPrize

Looking for an up to date review on dna sensors and their role in autoinflammatory diseases check out this review from @Mingqi7up 👇

nature.com/articles/s4159… I hope this is a helpful review! Appreciate the opportunity to co-write this review in @NatImmunol with my mentor @FitzgeraldKate Thanks to all the reviewers' comments which significantly elevated our work and thanks to the unsung artists for their art!



Today is my last day @MGHCancerCenter . I want to thank my mentor Dr. Nabeel Bardeesy’s guidance and support past years and to thank other great mentors and colleagues at MGH, Harvard and Broad. I had a great journey here. I’ll start my new adventures @UMassChan next Tuesday!

Excited to to share Dr. Gritti’s (my wonderful colleague) work on DNAJB1-PRKACA in Fibrolamellar Carcinoma, a rare but aggressive liver cancer in young people. Limited models make studying FLC tough, but this research is a huge step forward! @CD_AACR doi.org/10.1158/2159-8…

Excited to share our new work on how DNAJB1-PRKACA drives cancer cell growth in Fibrolamellar Carcinoma. @CD_AACR Thanks to all our collaborators and funding support. @FibroFoundation @AICF_nyc @DonaBertarelli @ForbeckForums @AlexLemonade

It seems that many people do not see our previous Light paper and many fun movies associated with it. Here I just show the interesting mitochondria ones😀from this paper here nature.com/articles/s4137…


Super cool story on how PROX1 loss drives hepatocyte fate loss, leading to HCC-to-CCA identity changes! Glad I got to hear this fascinating presentation in person at the CSHL meeting a few weeks ago!

Excited to share our first preprint with @zauggj @embl! We screened 1,296 transcription factors for repressors that block unwanted plasticity and found many putative tumour suppressors. PROX1 stands out as hepatocyte safeguard that prevents #livercancer. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hi #metabolism twitter. ~5 years ago wrote a review with @mvh_lab and @DMM_Journal about how the microenvironment drives many metabolic features/targets of cancers: tinyurl.com/3sk263z9 1/7
