Guten tag! Getting ready to talk about cancer research and @aacrjournals.bsky.social Cancer Discovery at the Charite 🧬

Great #ESMO25 talk by @viveksubbiah.bsky.social on targeting molecular drivers of cancer in a tissue-agnostic manner: for more of his thoughts, check out his @aacrjournals.bsky.social Cancer Discovery piece (online as of October 17) here:

If you’re interested in @aacrjournals.bsky.social Cancer Discovery, come say hello to me at #ESMO25!

It wouldn’t hurt, particularly if the editor is more of a visual learner (the reviewers don’t see the cover letter), so include away!

Why #cancerresearch matters: check out the latest update on the state of #cancer in the 15th @theaacr.bsky.social Cancer Progress Report cancerprogressreport.aacr.org/progress/?ut...

Christophe Marine @marinelab.bsky.social @vib-ccb.bsky.social presenting his hot-off-the-presses Cancer Discovery paper today at #EACR2025!

Ready to hear about the latest advances in #cancer research at #EACR2025! If you’re interested in Cancer Discovery @theaacr.bsky.social, reach out to me!

Excited to be here for the inaugural #CancerGrandChallenges ecDNA conference! #CGecDNA @CancerGrandChallenges

Published an op-ed for @cnn.com: “Nobel laureate: I owe America my success. Today, its scientific future is in danger.”
A personal reflection on what’s at stake as science funding gets slashed. I’d be grateful if you could amplify both in and beyond the science world.

BRCA1 turned 30 🎉
To celebrate, Jos Jonkers and I explored three decades of BRCA1 research - what we’ve learned about its biology, its role in tumorigenesis and future directions to improve the life of BRCA1 mutation carriers.

Early Career researchers met with @captmarkkelly.bsky.social to advocate for critically needed NIH funding. Thank you, Senator Kelly, for your ongoing commitment to the cancer research community. #AACRontheHill #FundNIH

Tomorrow is the 10th Annual AACR Early Career Hill Day. Eighteen AACR Associate Members are gathering on Capitol Hill to ask Congress to support the next generation of cancer researchers. At this crucial time, make your voice heard: AACR.org/NIH #AACRontheHill #FundNIH

As someone whose career in the cancer research field started with the chance to do a summer stint at the NCI, I am privileged to join the researchers and federal workers here today #funddon’tfreeze

AACR urges Congress to reaffirm its long history of steadfast and bipartisan support for medical research by ensuring that NIH has all of the resources needed to advance its lifesaving mission to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer and other diseases: AACR.org/NIH

The AACR is deeply concerned that the Administration’s recent actions are threatening NIH and its mission to accelerate progress for patients with cancer and other diseases that afflict millions of Americans. Read our statement: https://buff.ly/4gRXNB8

Thanks to Cancer Discovery (not on bsky yet?) for highlighting our recent publication on ecDNA amplifications during cancer progression: aacrjournals.org/cdnews/news/....

Congratulations! (And soon 😉)

Very excited to share our latest publication on the role of NOTCH1 in sexual dimorphism in liver cancer and published in
Cancer Discovery! Super proud of Katie Lindblad for leading this study as part of her outstanding PhD work.

You can always count on @deniswirtz.bsky.social and colleagues for biomedical research funding info, particularly during these times 🙏🏻

My first post in these sunny climes, and of course it’s about cancer research 😊 Jillian Phalen @hopkinskimmel presenting just-published work on DELFI (cell-free fragmentome/proteins) for the early detection of ovarian cancer #aacrLBx24 aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…
