Hi #epitwitter short summary here on Thu Tran's results on optimal vaccine allocation using real-time seroprevalence estimates, for MA and RI (abt 25% to 30% seroprev on Jan 1). Results exactly as expected: vaccinate high-mortality groups first 1/ medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks Thu Tran Nathan Wikle Ephraim Hanks Rhode Island Department of Health Bill Hanage @BillHanage.bsky.social Fuhan Yang Haider Inam Scott Leighow @EmilyStrongPSU Justin Pritchard Philip Chan for all the hard work over the past 10 months. 7/

Thanks to all the TTC lab including Alessandra Di Grande Kathryn Haley. To our amazing collaborators who helped us unravel this difficult story of how the small molecule actually works in cells. Micheal Hemann MIT, Jennifer Guerriero, PhD, @justinpritcha19, Gerard Cagney, Kieran Wynne,

This is a great position for someone interested in epistasis or the structure of the genotype-phenotype map! But I'm also very open to candidates with a physics, ML, oe math background looking to get into biology. Informal inquiries welcome, please e-mail or DM!

So nice to see our paper in print at @BloodJournal ashpublications.org/blood/article-…

Thanks for this honor AAAS Annual Meeting ! And the video is amazing, very touching with so many of my former students and current pridemakers!

Results by Jones et al show that #doxorubicin can be administered at high cumulative doses with a low rate of cardiotoxicities in patients with soft tissue sarcomas in the context of dexrazoxane co-administration. Robin Lewis Jones bvantine1 #AACRrsm21 bit.ly/3qauRtL

25 years ago today, Thomas Hamilton walked into my children's school in Dunblane & shot 16 children. My colleague Mick North lost his daughter Sophie & started the Snowdrop Campaign to change the law on handguns. Death from gunshot in the UK has now fallen by 75%.⁠

@Lola_UMich Thanks @Lola_UMich and to the others that came before me. Looking forward to meeting the many more coming behind us!

Congratulations to Manu Platt Platt Lab (Georgia Tech - BioE @BMES) for the 2021 AIMBE Award he received yesterday. Well done, great recognition of his exceptional and pioneering efforts to improve diversity.

"You can be a scientist just like you are" - Platt Lab in conversation w/ W. Kamau Bell on #UnitedShades. They talk research funding disparities, imposter syndrome & more. ICYMI, re-airs 11p on 5/22 on CNN and is available on demand.

Amen. (For all that Nate Silver’s pandemic takes have not always been tip top terrific, this is absolutely correct)

Congratulations to Manu Platt Platt Lab — a new Biomedical Engineering Society fellow & member of the board of directors. Not to mention co-chair of this week's #BMES2021. 🎉 bme.gatech.edu/bme/news/platt… #CoulterBME

Our paper on mechanical stress-induced tumor cell migration and proteomic analysis (p38MAPK/JNK/cdc42/Rac1 axis) with Triantafyllos Stylianopoulos lab and Gordon Mills lab has been published on Molecular Cancer Research. Open access here: doi.org/10.1158/1541-7… Wonderful work by Maria and Rosy.

As our understanding of the molecular basis of cancer improves, so does our ability to build targeted drugs that exploit cancer's genetic vulnerabilities to safely and potently kill tumor cells.

Additionally, we find that our platform can effectively redesign tumors in vivo, enabling the elimination of cancers otherwise destined for treatment failure.

This is an interesting idea: turning a cancer's drug resistance against it These are growth curves of tumours in mice, treated with a drug (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor). The tumours initially shrink but they all - slowly but surely - become resistant: This study aimed to convert
