Excellent article on latest in gene editors as tools to study cells + cancer
'The ability to engineer SNVs endogenously opens up the space to study a much greater sphere of genetic variation and gene regulation.
As such, precision genome editing screens have become an

Base editing and prime editing are quickly becoming gold-standards of genome editing technologies, but what are their merits, limitations, and applications to cancer research?

I often think about how privileged I was to do my PhD with Paula, an incredible researcher and literally one of the most genuinely kind and thoughtful people I've ever had the opportunity to learn from. Congrats Paula on this award and thank you for everything you've done!

The Super Human Body Premiere. Coming soon to a science museum near you to inspire the next generation of medical innovators. Congrats Exec Producer Michael Langer and MacGillivray Freeman Museum of Science

Paula Hammond delivers lecture for Killian Award, given “not only for her tremendous professional achievements and contributions, but also for her genuine warmth and humanity, her thoughtfulness and effective leadership, and her empathy and ethics.'

Ludwig Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Scott Manalis delivered a presentation at #AACR24 on how oxygen gradients influence invasion and polarity in organoid models of colorectal cancer.

Whether at MIT or beyond, the KI took time out for the dramatic eclipse on Tuesday. ☀️🕶️

Special props to the Bhatia Lab's Henry Ko, whose stellar photography skills captured the pink spots in the corona caused by solar prominences and hydrogen emissions.

Solar eclipse…

Very well-deserved congratulations to our graduate student Tess Fallon on her NSF Graduate Fellowship and our technician Sarit Radak on his graduate school acceptances! Your futures are so bright we had to wear eclipse glasses 😎

I knew her way back when, already amazing then, and now the recipient of the AACR Gertrude B. Eliot Award. Way to go Yadira Soto-Feliciano #RockStar faculty member Koch Institute at MIT @mit #AACR24

Attending the #AACR24 Gertrude B. Elion Cancer Research Award Lecture, by Yadira M. Soto-Feliciano? Read her work on a molecular switch between mammalian MLL complexes dictating response to Menin inhibition.

AACR feeling honored to be included as a fellow and truly inspired. A kaleidoscope of science, medicine, technology, patient advocates, trainees, industry, newcomers and legends. All the things 🩷Carolyn Bertozzi Dr. Elizabeth Jaffee Padmanee (Pam) Sharma, MD, PhD Johanna Joyce

Ludwig Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s @StefaniSpranger chaired a session at #AACR2024 on the crosstalk between various myeloid cells & T cells in tumors & lymph nodes. She also shared her lab's findings on how dendritic cells shape cytotoxic T cell responses & are themselves influenced by other T cells.

This evening, the 30 members of the 2024 class of AACR Fellows were inducted into the AACR Academy. The distinguished scientists who comprise the AACR Academy serve as a global brain trust, providing scientific leadership to advance the AACR's mission. #AACR24

Mechanisms of Gene Regulation by Chromatin Adaptors in Development and Disease: Gertrude B. Elion Cancer Research Award Recipient Yadira Soto-Feliciano, PhD, will address this topic in her award lecture at #AACR24 (Tues, April 9). Learn more: bit.ly/3Qhxz0H MIT Biology
