New Links: Cancer and Immune Evasion
Cancer cells without the tumor suppressor protein p53 become more resistant to the body's immune response and more likely to survive. A study led by Dr. Daniel De Carvalho at UHNβs Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.

We are excited to invite you to our dept. seminar featuring Dr. Katherine Chiappinelli (@chiappinellilab.bsky.social) tomorrow (Thursday March 6) at 4:00pm in auditorium room 4SCR1.1110.
Drop by to learn about TEs as therapeutic targets in (ovarian) cancer!
Happy to see this paper out!
