So excited to see this! I'm grateful to Gut Journal for highlighting our work performed at @NCIResearchCtr in the outstanding laboratory of @TimGreten. Thank you to all contributors Xin Wei Wang, Benjamin Ruf, Dr. Kylynda C. Bauer, PhD, MRBenmebarek, Lichun Ma, Mahler Revsine, and of course NCI Surgical Oncology.

So when’s the paper finished?

For my birthday celebrating with a Keystone Symposia talk and poster #KSCancerMicro2024! #microbiome #cancer (obligatory poster setup pic)

Great work from Giorgio Trinchieri and Arlene Sharp on PD1 (#immunotherapy) and the microbiome (#cancer) #KSCancerMicro2024

Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all. But right now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share. It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.

Very grateful to have been awarded the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation Fellowship 2024, which will undoubtedly bolster our research efforts aiming to improve treatment outcomes for CCA patients! This is made possible by the great support and fantastic mentoring at @NCIResearchCtr with @TimGreten

Way to go MRBenmebarek!

The Michael Smith Laboratories building first opened 20 years ago today, providing a home for Canada’s first interdisciplinary biotechnology unit as envisioned by Nobel Laureate Dr. Michael Smith. Learn more about our unit and building history: msl.ubc.ca/the-michael-sm…

Rosalind Lee and Victor Ambros were co-recipients of the prestigious Cleveland Prize. Dr. Ambrose runs a UMass lab, his wife is a senior scientist for his lab. Awards are given to senior authors. Women face challenges: academic training -> independent lab pipeline The Nobel Prize

Victor Ambros was denied tenure at Harvard. But he was not a usual PI. The Harvard Crimson describes: 1⃣ He took an especially hands-on role in mentorship: “Duan recalled the experience of arriving in the U.S. for his Ph.D. as a non-native English speaker. Ambros spent time

I got my first R01 at 34 because they handed that shit out like candy back in the day.

People who spend their careers writing NIH grants are the literal opposite of grifters. It is a soul-sucking, brutal process. The scientists don’t get rich when they get funded. Their salary doesn’t change. They do it for science. For patients. You know, to make 🇺🇸healthy.

Excited to share our study on the treatment effect and underlying mechanism using a triple therapy of VEGF+PDL1+CTLA4 blockade in CCA, published today in Immunity👨‍🔬🥳 Article: authors.elsevier.com/c/1km4D3qNrU-h… A brief summary of the exciting science from @TimGreten lab below: (1/6)

There are days in life that shake you. I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University & academic career... 1/🧵

Thrilled to be a collaborator in work led by MRBenmebarek. Check out @TimGreten Laboratory’s latest publication Immunity to examine how VEGF + immune checkpoint blockade improved cholangiocarcinoma outcomes via B cells! gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
