Dr. Kristin A. Altwegg, Ph.D.

This morning my tea had an important message. This is important for not only early-career researchers but all researchers no matter where you’re at in your journey. It took great effort and courage to get to where you are! Think of how much you learned!! #research #science #AACR #AACRECR #AACRAMC

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

United by Cancer Research: One Mission. One Voice.
May is National Cancer Research Month. We invite you to join the AACR and others in this global initiative to highlight the lifesaving impact of cancer research. AACR.org/NCRM #NCRM25 #UnitedByCancerResearch

@theaacr.bsky.social #AACR2025 I was honored to co-chair the “microRNAs and other noncoding RNAs” session at AACR Chicago. Fantastic talks about small molecule inhibitors and novel targets regulating miRNA function/EV transport and lincRNA activity that could lead to novel RNA medicine for cancer.

The closing plenary is over, and so is #AACR25. We thank Program Chairs Matthew G. Vander Heiden and Lillian L. Siu and the entire Program Committee for developing an inspiring meeting, and we look forward to seeing everyone in San Diego for #AACR26.

Cancer Research Saves lives - you better believe it! #AACR25

Trump’s freeze on $2.2 billion to Harvard provided no proof of wrongdoing The Trump administration skipped over requirements, including offering to hold a hearing, when applying financial penalties related to civil rights violations.

Harvard University stands to lose billions in federal funding, but the government’s actions against one of the world’s top research institutions were applied with vague accusations and no proof of specific legal violations, documents show.
