Researchers in the Dept UF Neurosurgery led by UF neurosurgery faculty Dr. Elias Sayour published their findings with a new mRNA cancer vaccine they created to attack glioblastoma in a first-in-human clinical trial in the journal Cell today ufhealth.org/news/2024/uf-d…

Very excited to share this story about the work we are doing with support from Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation to develop combination immunotherapy for children with cancer! pcrf-kids.org/2024/03/13/pet…

Have really enjoyed seeing members of my lab presenting impactful work over the last few weeks at UF Medicine and UF Health Cancer Center research days! Congratulations Gabe Jobin , Miriam Girgis, and Cathleen Rabideau!

Congrats to UF Health Cancer Center researchers Lakeshia Cousin, Ph.D., APRN, AGPCNP-BC & Paul Castillo, M.D., who were accepted into the NCI Disparities Early Investigator Advancement Program, which assists researchers in attaining R-type funding!

Amazing work by Gabe Jobin presented today UF Health Cancer Center research day on our work generating 3D tumoroids to find new treatments for #pediatriccancer !!!

I almost never use this for personal reasons… but I’m bringing my 6yo and 4yo to their first San Antonio Spurs game on 2/8 in Orlando. I know Wemby generally isn’t doing back-to-backs, but please PLEASE skip the Heat game on 2/7 so my kids can see you play!!! 🙏🏻

Congratulations to Maryam Rahman, M.D., a member of the UF Health Cancer Center who has served as principal investigator for multiple brain tumor clinical trials!

Good morning from beautiful Vancouver @SNO2023! Come stop by booth 111 to learn more about our wonderful program at UFHealth, and learn about our clinical trials! #UFBTIP

Proud of our student Cathleen Rabideau who presented University of Florida Research Undergrad Symposium! This work, spearheaded by Leighton Elliott, MD, MSE and Sadeem Qdaisat in Adam Michael Rosen Neuro-Oncology Labs UF Health Cancer Center is crucial for future proof of principle experiments using RNA vaccines for fusion driven sarcomas

Thank you to StopChildrensCancer for supporting pediatric #cancer research at UF Health! Today officials from Stop Children's Cancer presented a renewed gift of $1 million to support cancer research & clinical trials in the @ufmedicine division of hematology & oncology for the next 5 years!

So very proud of my outstandingly talented colleague Gabe Jobin and the work he has done on establishing novel models of pediatric sarcomas! Outstanding presentation at UF Genetics Institute symposium! Another example of the innovative work we are doing UF Health Cancer Center !

Representing UF Health Cancer Center and Adam Michael Rosen Neuro-Oncology Labs at Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer 2023! With BentlyDoonanMD , Frances Weidert, and Sadeem Qdaisat.

Day two of #SITC2023 , day two of comically oversized poster. Sorry to 770 and 774 I need a few inches of you space. Adam Michael Rosen Neuro-Oncology Labs John Ligon, M.D. UF Health Cancer Center

Come talk with our senior scientist Frances Weidert Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer abstract 1398, to discuss how we are trying to use mRNA nanoparticle vaccines against #DIPG . A horrible disease, but I think we are seeing promising results!

Can mRNA vaccines be the key to treating fusion-driven cancers?
Come see amazing work in Abstract 1377 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer by a talented grad student Sadeem Qdaisat at the Adam Michael Rosen Neuro-Oncology Labs and UF Health Cancer Center .

Ready for Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer 2023!!! Please come talk to me about exciting data using mRNA vaccines against pediatric cancers, including upcoming trials UF Health Cancer Center, today at abstract 1363! And thank you Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer for recognizing our work with a young investigator award!
