This is an exciting new project using spatial profiling to study the blood-brain barrier in #DMG— to deliver drugs to the tumor, we first have to get past the blood vessels! Research funded by AACR Day One Biopharmaceuticals pediatric cancer research fellowship and enabled by DFCI Pathology

Our “vaccine + CAR T -> antigen spreading” story is finally online🥳 —an effective approach to enhance CAR T therapy against solid tumors with antigen heterogeneity. We are recruiting motivated postdocs to continue this exciting research! Please spread the words 🥳

Way to go @johnprensner !!!

The Stark Lab MIT Dept of BE and Koch Institute at MIT opens January 2024! We are recruiting curious and motivated scientists at all levels. Learn more about our work and how to join our team: jstarklab.com 🧬 Please share widely! #immunoengineering #synbio #glycotime #newPI

Kimberly Bennett, a grad student in the Hammond and Joelle Straehla labs and a 2023 HHMI Gilliam Fellow, tackles drug-delivery for treating pediatric brain tumors—and works to make MIT a more welcoming place for first-generation and low-income students. news.mit.edu/2023/kimberly-…

Excited to join X, formerly known as Twitter! Follow us Brain Tumor Center for highlights and updates.

Great Straehla Lab representation today at #nanoDDS2023! Congrats to Elizabeth and Julianna, who are both working hard Koch Institute at MIT to understand how #nanomedicine can be better utilized for cancer treatment.

Thank you to #CKc=options for supporting our research in pediatric brain tumors and for this poignant education campaign raising awareness during #childhoodcancer awareness month. We can and will do better for children impacted by cancer. cannonballkidscancer.org/2023/08/one-si…

Enjoyed meeting everyone at the BWFUND meeting, especially new CAMS friends. You all inspire me! Joelle Straehla Brian Sweis sam Sattar Khoshkhoo #DianaShi Maria C. Basil #AnishMitra #paulolizano @glynnis_garry Samir Zaidi, MD, PhD Paige Cooper Byas, PhD #bwfcams #physicianscientists

Ditto! Very inspiring meeting and a huge thank you to BWFUND for supporting physician-scientists. Also amazing to meet new awardees from other programs— what an investment in science from grad and med students all the way to senior investigators!

Honored to share our recent qualitative study complementing our cellular & molecular work on vascular development & #germinalmatrixhemorrhage. We talked to 14 families who experienced neonatal loss to understand their perspective on autopsy, organ and research donation. A🧵
