Congratulations to Dr. Hermann Einsele and Dr. Noopur Raje, who will be honored today for their extraordinary contributions to myeloma at the 2026 IMWG Summit in Stockholm, Sweden. Learn more: https://www.myeloma.org/node/12929 #IMFIMWG
Let’s do some discourse. Who has the best breakfasts? My vote is Mexico: huevos rancheros/divorciados, chilaquiles, molletes, tetelas, papas con chorizo, churros, migas… plus café de olla I dunno, I think they figured it out?
Beautiful work and congratulations on starting your own lab. Look forward to seeing what you’ll do and hope we can work together again in the future.
22/n On a personal note, I’ll soon start an independent research group in the Genome Biology Unit at EMBL Heidelberg. If you enjoy this type of work and want to engineer genomes at the largest scale, please reach out! jonas-koeppel.github.io/koeppellab/ www.embl.org/groups/koepp...
A rapid manufacturing pipeline for BCMA-targeting CAR T cells drastically shortens “vein-to-vein” times, and produces cells that demonstrate encouraging safety results in a phase one trial of patients with relapsed #MultipleMyeloma. #ScienceTranslationalMedicine https://scim.ag/4fd3JaW
Efficacy and safety of durcabtagene autoleucel in a phase 1 trial for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma
Durcabtagene autoleucel, a rapidly manufactured BCMA-directed CAR T cell therapy, was safe and efficacious in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

Excited that our paper describing a phase 1 trial of ducabtagene autloeucel, a rapidly manufactured anti-BCMA CAR-T in r/r multiple myeloma, was published. #ScienceTranslationalMedicine Huge thanks to all my co-authors, the teams at @danafarber.bsky.social and Novartis, and to our patients.

Congrats on getting this up and running. Will be an incredible resource for patients and clinicians.
After largely running our clinical whole genome sequencing test for #myeloma, JAYseq, in stealth mode for the last 6 months I am extremely proud to see the culmination of years of research effort by my team at TGen and collaborators around the world come to fruition in a clinical test.

Ohh, awesome! I was actually wondering about this exact thing recently. It's super helpful to have data to answer the question.
Institutions are phasing out gamma-irradiators, but can X-ray irradiators replace them for mouse transplant models? We report that with proper dose calibration, X-ray conditioning produces equivalent hematopoietic chimerism and AML transplant outcomes. Encouraging news! 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ex...
We are profoundly grateful to announce the largest single gift in our 78-year history through a new joint commitment from Josh and Anita Bekenstein and the Jonathan Lavine and Jeannie Lavine family.

Genomically Smoldering Multiple Myeloma Is Not a Distinct Entity But a Collection of Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance or Multiple Myeloma
PURPOSEThe diagnosis of smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) primarily relies on clinical features such as plasma cell involvement, immunoglobulin protein levels, and end-organ damage. However, as early ...

@paralkarlab.bsky.social Hello, since you are a hematology/oncology influencer, could you re-post my thing about the Myeloid Workshop being on despite ASH not getting it up on the website? Thank you!
Congrats to Yu-Hsiang Chen, Pavan Bachireddy, and team at @mdanderson.bsky.social for getting this important work out. By understanding how MRD cells escape therapy at a more basic level hopefully we can eventually cure more patients with MDS. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cancer relapse after treatment invariably proceeds from the persistence and progression of measurable residual disease (MRD), an ultrasmall malignant population. Despite the poor prognostic impact est...
