Advancing Novel Pancreatic Cancer Research A career development grant from the AACR helped Luisa Escobar-Hoyos, MSC, PhD, earn two major federal grants to further develop her research.

From tagging along to @theaacr.bsky.social meetings as a child to leading her own Yale Cancer Center lab, Dr. Luisa Escobar-Hoyos, studies how #cancer uses RNA splicing to resist treatment + is developing therapies to stop it. Her AACR award helped secure 2 major grants.

Yale Study Sheds Light on Cellular Resistance to Osimertinib in Adenocarcinoma Some lung cancers manage to overcome a targeted drug therapy despite it showing initial success. Yale researchers have now discovered a molecular-level

A Yale study finds the protein #METTL7A triggers early resistance to #osimertinib by reshaping DNA architecture. Targeting METTL7A could help block resistance before it starts. #lungcancer #adenocarcinoma

Improving Immunotherapy Responses by Approaching on Two Fronts Two therapies can be better than one for treating some cancers, concludes a Yale study published Oct. 22 in the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight that

A study led by Dr. Thuy Tran found that blocking the protein MIF alongside PD-1 inhibitors improved tumor shrinkage + survival in preclinical models of #melanoma + #coloncancer. Targeting both innate and adaptive immunity could enhance #immunotherapy results.
