Congrats to Paige Halas Paige Halas for being selected as a finalist to compete in UCI’s Grand Slam championship! She did an outstanding job in her elevator pitch (3min!) describing her work on how specific genes promote metastasis to lay audiences! #UCIGrandSlam UCI School of Medicine

Congrats to Katrina and Aaron on a beautiful cover image! 5 color immunofluorescence using CODEX shows that pro-inflammatory microglia infiltrate growing metastatic lesions in the brain.

💫NEW: Devon Lawson & co identify and characterize a #tumour -suppressive role for #microglia that mediates a pro-inflammatory response to restrict brain #metastasis in #BreastCancer . #CancerResearch

Check out our new single cell datasets! We posted interactive UMAPs on our lab website lawsonlab.org, from our recent paper in Nature Cell Biology where we found that microglia promote anti-tumor immunity and suppress brain metastasis. Check out expression of your fav genes!

Had a wonderful time honoring Zena and visiting old friends and colleagues LisaCoussens@CoussensLab Mikala Egeblad. Thanks to the organizers Roose Lab UCSF Rushika M. Perera and Zena’s family for such a special event. Looking forward to next year ❤️

In memory of Zena Werb.
Today Devon Lawson, Mikala Egeblad & our keynote speaker Lisa Coussens, representing different generations of Zena’s many mentees, join us today to remember and celebrate Zena’s extraordinary contributions to science. UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr

Great energy inside the room for todayʻs mini-symposium honoring the memory of Zena Werb, PhD at UC San Francisco Parnassus campus. With featured speakers LisaCoussens@CoussensLab Mikala Egeblad Devon Lawson

Inaugural symposium in honor of Zena Werb - scientist, mentor, colleague & friend extraordinaire. Thank you to Zena’s family for establishing this living legacy. ⁦A day of fabulous science with Mikala Egeblad⁩ ⁦Devon Lawson⁩ ⁦UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr⁩ ⁦UCSF Dept. of Anatomy⁩

Had a wonderful time today at the #anticancerchallenge together with Devon Lawson. Thanks to all the postdocs and grad students who participated in the run, walk, ride today!

Looking forward to honoring my former mentor Zena Werb at the Memorial symposium at UCSF this Friday 10/6. Join us in person or remote, register at tiny.ucsf.edu/werb ❤️

Thanks to Susan G. Komen Orange County for putting on a great #morethanpink walk for breast cancer this morning

Many thanks to Michelle Buessing, Team Michelle and their supporters for the generous donation to support a new pilot research project in our laboratory! Pilot funding is essential to drive new breakthroughs, we are so thankful for your hard work and dedication ❤️ UC Irvine Healthcare

excited to announce our new paper in Cell on ARC-well by Kaile Wang Tapsi Kumar, PhD, on a new single cell DNA-seq nanowell method that we applied to study DCIS and recurrences, revealing an evolutionary bottleneck during progression MD Anderson Cancer Center sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Nick Nicholas Navin kicks off the breast atlas jam hosted by CZI Science. Working to integrate all the information gathered by leaders in the field atlasing breast tissues.

Really looking forward to this wonderful event in honor of Zena. 🩷
