Our pleasure to write this perspective on the role of ECM mechanics in cancer progression and the progress made since the original Kumar Lab publication in 2009!

So excited to be Track Chair for the Cancer Technologies Track at BMES this fall with Erica D. Pratt . Submit your abstracts and see you in Baltimore!

Proud of my friend Dr. Abby Koppes for share her story of dealing with Long Covid - a growing problem. We need more support with those dealing with chronic health issues like this.

Honored to give the community keynote talk at the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative Simons Foundation investigator meeting. I never expected to share so much of my personal life publicly - but sharing has spurred novel research, collaboration, more advocacy and more impact for those with rare diseases.

Thanks to Tufts for sharing our journey into epilepsy research after Margot’s diagnosis. So grateful to Chris Dulla who jumped right in to collaborate, fearless PhD student Haley who is generating amazing data to develop new treatments for those with rare epilepsies.

Paper is out: our study comparing the invasive and metastatic properties of 6 commonly used human TNBC cell lines is out. We hope this will provide a useful resource for all TNBC researchers: …ast-cancer-research.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

So fun to host Shreya and hear about her lab’s exciting work!!

Excited to be on my way to the Cancer Neuroscience Symposium 2024 in Houston MD Anderson Cancer Center to present the lab’s work on crosstalk between sensory nerves and cancer cells in TNBC metastasis. It’s going to be a a amazing meeting!

What is SCN8A? In part, it's a long-standing patient registry. Registration drive extended to Feb1! Each entry helps advance research. 🚀 With less than 1000 cases known - your data is precious. Let's make every #SCN8A story count. 🧬

Scientists and clinicians who work in SCN8A and see SCN8A patients: check out this awesome gear from International SCN8A Alliance alliance for SCN8A Awareness Day on Feb 9th! Order here: bonfire.com/store/internat…

Deadline extended to January 21st! Submit your abstracts on innervated tissue models!

The Oudin lab is interested in hiring a postdoc! Consider applying to this fantastic training program for postdocs we have here at Tufts! Please contact me - applications due Feb 1st.

Do you work on innervated tissue engineered models of health and disease? Nisha Iyer and I are chairing a symposium at TERMIS-AM World Congress next June in Seattle, WA, with a keynote from Dr. Abby Koppes. Submit your abstracts by January 15 - we would love to hear about your work!

So excited to be co-chairing the first SCN8A Research Roadmap 2-day meeting with scientists, clinicians, biotech and patient family representatives from all around the world. By working together we can improve the lives of those affected by SCN8A.

Great read to go with my morning coffee: Dr. Laura Kleiman of @ReBoot_Rx (and fellow 'girl scout mom') in the Boston Globe today:

Cheap cancer treatments exist. Why don’t you know about them? bostonglobe.com/2023/12/27/opi… via The Boston Globe
