22,000 attendants. 7,200 abstracts. Can’t believe my first AACR meeting is over! Going back with a lot of new ideas and some potential collaborations. A big thank you to MUSC Hollings Cancer Center for the scholarship to attend! #AACR24 #CARTregs #immunologymatters aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti…

Fifth and final day of American Association for Cancer Research AACR 2024 in full swing with amazing talks, posters, vendors, reconnecting with old friends, and making new ones! #AACR24 #endcancer #immunologymatters #changingwhatspossible

Abstract LB068: Repurposing chimeric antigen receptor regulatory T cells for treating cancer #immunologymatters #changingwhatspossible #CARTregs #AACR24 #endcancer aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti…

My first research experience as an undergraduate Universidade de Coimbra focused on #cancer #metabolism . Truly a treat to see Chi Van Dang speaking on his seminal discoveries on MYC and cancer metabolism AACR 2024! #endcancer #AACR2024

At #AACR24 , we managed to speak with Leonardo Ferreira of MUSC Hollings Cancer Center on the development of CAR Tregs against cancer

Day 4 at American Association for Cancer Research 2024 with short interviews to AACR Cancer Research Catalyst and the Video Journal of Oncology VJ Oncology and an address by National Cancer Institute Dr. Kimryn Rathmell Kimryn Rathmell! #immunologymatters #endcancer

I would love to attend AACR one day.

But at least I was there, virtually, in a poster with Bryan!

Way to go Leonardo Ferreira!

Another collab preprint out.

This time we helped a collaborator to compare the gene expression profiles of engineered CAR Tregs with those of naturally activated TCR/CD28 Tregs.

And I learnt a lot.
