Great day for ocular melanoma pts!! Delcath PHP has achieved FDA approval!!! I couldn’t be happier. Years of work through 2 phase III trials, 2 EAPs and numerous compassionate use protocols. Thank you to all that have brought this to FDA approval. And most importantly to our pts

Delighted to share our new study of the BRAF, MEK, HSP90 inhibitor combination in patients with advanced BRAF mutant melanoma. Study led by Zeynep Eroglu with Inna Smalley 🇺🇦 Vernon K Sondak MD and many others Moffitt Cancer Center ACS acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cn…

Excited to share our latest preprint! In thie work we showed that acral melanomas, a melanoma subtypes occurring on the skin of palms, soles & nailbeds, evolve very differently from melanomas arising from sun-exposed skin (or cutaneous melanomas).biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Dr. Susan Swetter of Stanford Medicine presenting on Increasing DEI in #melanoma #research: from bench to beside to community at #SMR23

Signe ⁦Jefferson Research⁩ speaking on TGM2 and drug tolerant persisters in melanoma #SMR2023. Great talk.

2021 Medical Student Award recipient Signe Caksa (Mentor: Aplin Lab - Cancer Research) from Thomas Jefferson University presented her work on a protein whose expression is increased in melanoma and may impact immunotherapy response. #SMR2023 @societymelanoma

Very touching words from @ProfRScolyerMIA at the Awards Ceremony at #SMR23 upon receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award. So well deserved. Standing ovation for Dr Scolyer #endcancer

From yesterday evening’s Society For Melanoma Research Awards Ceremony. Dr. Eva Hernando-Monge of NYU Grossman School of Medicine receiving the Estela Medrano Memorial Award in recognition of her outstanding contributions to #melanoma #research. Congrats! #SMR23

Amazing time with the lab and the melanoma research community at this year’s SMR Society For Melanoma Research. So grateful to be a part of this field and have such incredible people as colleagues! Had so much fun at the gala and Aplin Lab - Cancer Research got us all out on the dance floor! #SMR23

Had an amazing time last week presenting my poster at Society For Melanoma Research! Thanks Aplin Lab - Cancer Research for encouraging every opportunity to present my work and network with incredible scientists.

So lucky to have best friends in life and lab! Celebrating passing my comprehensive exam and becoming a PhD candidate🥲🎉 Casey Stefanski @SigneCaksa

Very excited to share new work from the lab dissecting mechanisms of liver-metastatic organotropism in melanoma and other cancers. Huge congrats to fearless post-doc Meri Rogava (on the job market!) who led this multi-year study! Below a brief summary... nature.com/articles/s4301…

Today we honor the melanoma community this #WorldCancerDay, a day that raises awareness around cancer prevention, detection & treatment. We encourage you to learn more about the MRF as we strive to eradicate melanoma through research, education & advocacy- buff.ly/3SbpB8v

Proud to share my student's recent Nature Communications paper!: Androgen drives melanoma invasiveness by inducing tumorigenic fucosylation. @Qianliu070's study helps explain why melanomas are more aggressive w/ poorer outcomes in men. go.nature.com/49fJzqT Moffitt Ph.D. Graduate Program Moffitt Cancer Center

Great job by Larissa Carvalho detailing responses to RMC7977 in NRAS mutant melanoma. Moffitt Cancer Center #AACR24

Bacterial signals can be detected in brain metastasis tissue and might be associated with delayed progression, says our Dr. Golnaz Morad of results presented at #AACR24 (Abstract 1283). Learn more here: bit.ly/4cLlF8z Golnaz Morad Jennifer Wargo MD #BrainTumor #EndCancer

Exciting news 🎉 We are thrilled to announce that the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center has achieved "Comprehensive Cancer Center" designation, the highest recognition awarded by National Cancer Institute! jeffersonhealth.org/about-us/news/…

CODA day! The CODA team at Johns Hopkins University maps pancreatic precursor lesions in 3D and at single-cell level. First 3D spatial genomic maps of large tissue samples. A human pancreas contains a staggering ~1000 lesions, some showing multifocality. Here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

In today's Cell, we propose a “developmental constraint” model whereby cancer cell state plasticity is restricted by the organism’s developmental map to access progenitor-like states and differentiated-like states of adjacent lineages.🧵⬇️ sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Ayushi Patel
