Thank you for highlighting our work! ☕️ Nature Reviews Drug Discovery Rony Dahan IdoAmitLab nature.com/articles/d4157…

1/3 We are EXTREMELY proud of not just one, but TWO of Systems_Immunology_WIS Weizmann Institute department's members just being awarded the prestigious 2024 Rappaport Prize. Our founding member PI @Ymerbl has been awarded the 2024 Rappaport Prize for Biomedical…



Honored to receive the 2024 Rappaport Prize in Biomedical Sciences for the development of new cancer immunotherapies. A big thank you to my mentor and PI Rony Rony Dahan , Systems_Immunology_WIS Weizmann Institute for making my science dreams a reality.

We are proud to share our latest work, in collaboration with Amos Tanay lab, presenting a framework for in vivo tracking of CD8+ T cells' response to immunotherapy over time & at single-cell resolution, led by Oren Barboy and Akhiad Bercovich. nature.com/articles/s4301…. (1/19)


Why human anti-CTLA-4 antibodies do not deplete intratumoral Tregs ? We show that FcyRIIB acts as a checkpoint restricting the Fc-dependent activity of human anti-CTLA-4 and other Treg-targeting antibodies in tumor.

Lab paper alert! Myc mRNA has a very short lifetime and can not be accumulated. Sharon Sharon Kagan Ben Tikva shows that the frequency of Myc expression (transcriptional bursts), rather than its amounts, dictates B cell positive selection in germinal centers over time. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Congratulations to Yuval Shapir Itai (from the group of Dr. Rony Dahan) upon being awarded the 2024 Rappaport Prize for an outstanding doctoral student for excellence in the field of Biomedical Research



Outstanding award presentation by Yuval Shapir Itai while receiving the EPHAR-EACPT Young Investigator Award in Translational Pharmacology. Congrats Yuval, we are very proud of you 👏🏻 🏆 EACPT Systems_Immunology_WIS Weizmann Institute







Had a great time presenting our work and hearing about exciting new science at the 3rd ImmunoSensation - IFReC International School on Advanced Immunology in Japan. Thanks for the amazing opportunity 🙏🏼 Rony Dahan


Just published📢 Our new forum article on Fc-optimized checkpoint antibodies for cancer therapy. New to immunotherapy and antibody engineering? This one’s for you! Co-authored with Alan Korman. Trends in Molecular Medicine #CancerImmunotherapy #FcEngineering sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



Reprogramming macrophages remains one of the outstanding unsolved challenges in cancer immunotherapy. Huge congratulations to IdoAmitLab Fadi Sheban and the team for tackling this complex task and publishing this impactful study.
