Good morning, Boston! Stephanie Dougan introduces her profound work on TGFbeta blockade in #PancreaticCancer in the plasticity session of #AACRPan24.

How does metabolic stress affect stromal and epithelial plasticity? Cosimo Commisso demonstrates Glutamine depletion in #PancreaticCancer and its wide-ranging effects in the tumor microenvironment. #AACRPan24

An amazing group of researchers! I am looking forward to future collaborations and scientific exchanges

Nicholas T. Woods seeks to determine molecular subtypes by focusing on the proteome as opposed to the transcriptome. Optimal #PancreaticCancer patient stratification would lead to optimized treatment options and better outcomes. Way to go! #AACRPan24

Harsh Singh demonstrates a huge (!) study using NGS profiling on over 8,700 #PancreaticCancer patients to find predictors of chemotherapeutic response associated with basal or classical subtype. #AACRPan24

The #PancreaticCancer microenvironment is sparse in nutrients. alec kimmelman talks about Serine deprivation and how cancer cells overcome nutrient restriction by communicating with stromal cells. #AACRPan24

#PancreaticCancer is highly reliant on autophagy. Why are autophagy inhibitors not delivering promising results in vivo? Lyssiotis Lab demonstrates an amazing synthetic lethality strategy using PIKfyve inhibition to eradicate the tumor, check out Caleb Cheng’s preprint! #AACRPan24

Kamiya Mehla concludes the session on metabolism in #PancreaticCancer with her perspective on how the innate immune response is shaped by metabolic competition. #AACRPan24

I am delighted I had the chance to meet Tina Termini in NYC! Not only did she provide guidance on the transition to independence during trainee lunch but also presented her exciting work about Syndecan-2. Thank you for the great opportunity!

I am honored to announce that NCI puts a lot of faith in me, my science, and my vision for the future. I am excited to work together with the leading scientists of tomorrow to create an inclusive work environment that fosters the interests of every lab member. Stay tuned!

Why do we need Night Science and why is creativity not taught in science education? Itai Yanai and Tim Stearns are asking us to take a step back from hypothesis testing and develop our creative, improvisational skills - crucial for generating research ideas as a #FuturePI.

On #WorldPancreaticCancerDay I am reminded why I am doing the job I love, even though the days are long and full of struggles. We are working every day on understanding #PancreaticCancer a little better to identify new targets for better, personalized therapeutical approaches.

Check out this ground breaking work on pancreatic 3D organoid structures by Aristeidis Papargyriou in the Maximilian Reichert lab!

Check out this opportunity for planning your next career step!

It is always fascinating to hear what is going on in the #PancreaticCancer universe, presented by Anirban Maitra himself! I am enjoying the insights at the Think Tank meeting in Munich.

Amazing talk by Itai Yanai from New York University about mechanisms of adaptive genome regulation in cancer. I love to leave a talk excited to apply my new knowledge to my scientific questions. I am glad I made it!
