Solid tumors have dodged CAR-T cell therapy for a decade, no clear target for immune cells to find. @uscbme.bsky.social engineers built SHIFTERS: focused ultrasound that makes tumor cells briefly display a marker CAR-T cells already know. #CancerResearch. https://bit.ly/4gFd4Iz

A new way to help CAR-T cells fight solid tumors could change cancer treatment - USC Viterbi | School of Engineering

USC researchers developed a technique that uses focused ultrasound to temporarily "light up" solid tumors, giving cancer-fighting immune cells a target they can finally recognize.

Welcome to medical school, Class of 2030!🥼 The white coat ceremony marks a pivotal milestone for the Class of 2030. Students don their white coats for the first time, symbolizing their formal entry into the medical profession.

A large group of people in white coats stand in rows facing the stage within a grand, well-lit auditorium. The architecture is ornate with high ceilings. An emblem resembling Stanford University's logo is projected on the wall. The audience fills the upper balconies, and red screens display text related to the Stanford Medicine White Coat Ceremony.A group of three individuals, wearing lab coats and smiling, take a selfie together.

Dean's POV 📸 Putting community first. During orientation, our incoming students spent a day serving LA. Events included volunteering at Homeboy Industries, the largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world. This is how we build measurable health improvements, together.

A group of people in matching red shirts are gathered inside a cafe. They are smiling and posing for a selfie. The cafe has a sign saying it is supported by the Annenberg Foundation. The setting appears lively and welcoming.

Dean's POV 📸 White Coat ceremony X 4 Every August, a new class puts on that white coat for the first time. I've stood at enough of these now to know the moment never gets old. This year's ceremony is August 7, and I'm already looking forward to it. #HealOn ✌️

Dean's POV 📸 It was wonderful to share thoughts and USC experiences with a group of faculty at our sign-up faculty lunch last week. Conversations like these are part of why I love this job, grateful for the time and honesty everyone brought to the table.

Seven people standing in a room with large windows, smiling at the camera. Several individuals are wearing professional attire, while others are in medical scrubs and ID badges.

Dean's POV 📸 Taken from my office window when the Lineage fire broke out in Boyle Heights. Our fac/staff/students distributed thousands of masks/air purifiers, activated community health workers & generated real-time data on air quality to protect the most vulnerable.

The image shows the Keck School of Medicine of USC building under a sky filled with dark smoke. The structure is modern, surrounded by trees and a well-maintained courtyard with pathways.
