Fascinating and important work from the Harris-Tryon Lab about how Staph virulence is increased by testosterone. I’m never visiting a gym again! 🦠🎉

Our lab loves thinking about the metabolism of melanin synthesis and how this might relate to melanoma biology. Congrats to Marelize Snyman, PhD, Rachel Walsdorf, and Sophie Wix on this review!

So proud to announce Derm Foundation awards going to our amazing UTSW Dermatology faculty 2024: Sanofi-Regeneron DEI Award – Dr. Donald Glass, Career Development Award (renewal) – Dr. Ben Nanes, Derm Investigative Research Fellowship Award – Dr. Swapneel Patel - Congratulations!!!!

Grateful for my fantastic UTSW colleagues and our multiD team at tumor board on #MelanomaMonday. Working to improve care for our patients- offering treatments for advanced melanoma such as TVEC and TIL therapy and other clinical trial opportunities. utswmed.org/conditions-tre…

We are so lucky to have #AmgenScholar Kaley Mafong working with the Gill Lab this summer. The future of medicine and scientific research is bright with such talented young people like her!

Congrats Divya Bezwada @RJDLab! I have really enjoyed watching this story unfold!

Great work! 👏

Thanks to AAMC for the invitation to serve on this panel with a great group of colleagues! Always a pleasure to share how UTSW Dermatology is working to grow and support physician-scientists!

This was a great talk @mrndhntr! Loved hearing all the exciting science at this year’s Society For Melanoma Research meeting!

In patients with unresectable melanoma, treatment with ipilimumab + nivolumab ➡️ encorafenib + binimetinib on progression was associated with longer periods of new brain metastases-free survival than the reverse sequence. Results by Paolo A. Ascierto et al.: eviden.cc/3XTlAKB

A tour de force from Karuna Ganesh showcasing her commitment to the idea that discovery biology can (and for cancer biology should) be patient-facing. You’re an inspiration, my friend!!!

Welcome Jae! UTSW Dermatology and UTSW Simmons Cancer Center look forward to having you here! 🎉
