1/12 Excited to share that our new paper on IDH-mutant glioma (IDH-G) is now out in Nature Genetics! This work was a fantastic collaborativ effort of laboratories of @suvalab.bsky.social and @landau.bsky.social, co-lead by Ramya Raviram and Joshua S. Schiffman. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The unfounded move by HHSGov against mRNA vaccines will hurt our future potent immune therapy vs cancer. Another point of progress for triple-negative breast cancer with individualized neoantigen mRNA vaccines today Adds to pancreatic, renal cell, melanoma reports nature.com/articles/s41...

Individualized mRNA vaccines evoke durable T cell immunity in adjuvant TNBC - Nature

In a phase 1 trial, personalized mRNA vaccines tailored to individual tumour mutations in triple-negative breast cancer induced robust, long-lasting T cell responses and improved prognosis.

As Valentine’s Day #ValentinesDay arrives, here’s one of Ireland’s greatest love poems: Dark-Haired Miriam Ran Away by Patrick Kavanagh (1946), inspired by Hilda Moriarty, a 22-year-old med student he became infatuated with. Later set to music as Raglan Road and famously sung by Luke Kelly.
