A big week for Dr. Yassmin Elbanna (and family). A successful thesis defense and a new paper in Immunity! www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Aliya and Esther both got poster awards at the Weill Cornell Convocation!

We have a new preprint! Working with her good friends in the Brad jones lab, postdoc Farah Mustapha has found that HIV infected cells evade cytotoxic T cells by becoming mechanically soft and squishy. Check out the article at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Check out our new preprint! Graduate student Yassmin Elbanna (@yassminaelbanna.bsky.social) and friends have found that the mechanical rigidity of the metastatic microenvironment controls the efficiency of anti-tumor immunosurveillance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Mechanoimmunological Control of Metastatic Site Selection

Cancer cells alter their mechanical properties in response to the rigidity of their environment. Here, we explored the implications of this environmental mechanosensing for anti-tumor immunosurveillan...
