Advances in cancer research & tech are catalyzing therapeutic approaches across the PICI Network. Marson Lab Gladstone Institutes study in Nature explores prime editing—a genome editing tool w/ potential application in developing new cancer therapies. nature.com/articles/s4158…

PICI-supported nature study: 2022 Parker Bridge Fellow Evan Weber & Penn Medicine, Children's Hospital Stanford Medicine program CAR T cells w/ high FOXO1. Gives stem-cell properties, faster growth & longer survival. Could improve CAR T efficacy across cancers. nature.com/articles/s4158…

At #AACR24 this week, the PICI Network shared unprecedented # of keynotes, presentations & posters – made possible by our collaborative model. AACR highlights our approach & its impact in their new article on radical collaboration & cancer team science. aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…

Ongoing ph1 trial of systemically administered IL13RA2 CAR T cells. Who to screen for target expression?

- melanoma if considering TIL (Melanoma Research)
- pheo/para (@pheopara)
- neuroendocrine tumors (@LACNETS)
- adrenocortical carcinoma
- thyroid cancers
- sarcoma (MPNST/UPS)

Marson Lab set the goal of understanding the role of every nucleotide in the genome of a T cell 🤯 After 10 years? it slowly comes to fruition with effective genome editing Cancer Research Institute Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy AACR #AACR24 AACRPres ✨ Now advancing towards clinical trials 🥳

Congrats to former Co-Director for the PICI Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Marcel van den Brink, on his appointment as President of City of Hope LA & City of Hope Natl. Medical Ctr. Looking forward to Dr. Van den Brink's impact alongside other PICI investigators! cityofhope.org/marcel-van-den…
