Do you want to use patient-derived organoids to model cervical cancer? Our group (study led by staff scientist Rui Wang!) did the hard troubleshooting for you and published it as an easy-to-follow protocol 🤗 star-protocols.cell.com/prot…

@BenjaminSchrank is without a doubt one of the very best physician scientist trainee I have ever encountered. Quadruple threat: great scientist, leadership skills, gifted educator and super kind/humble. Truly exceptional. He’s also on the job market. So proud!

A first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate works by targeting protein CD47, which helps immune cells activate and engulf cancer cells. The drug triggers an adaptive immune response to help eliminate the tumor. Learn more about the research, which Dr. Ben Schrank will present at #ASTRO24: bit.ly/3XXRmWW #EndCancer

It was wonderful to see @TaniguchiMD be honored as the inaugural recipient of the @MDAndersonNews Dallas Fort Worth Living Legend Faculty Achievement Award in Translational Research. The award was received by his wife Mariko. An exceptional physician scientist we miss dearly. Congratulations to all the other deserving honorees as well.

Adding cisplatin to radiation doesn't improve progression-free survival for localized recurrent #endometrialcancer but does increase treatment-related toxicity. Radiation remains standard of care. ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO… @JCO_ASCO @AnnKloppMD @dsmgyo #gyncsm #gynonc

If you were designing a hypoxic/anaerobic glove cabinet from scratch, what would you need to fit inside? Any things you wish you’d gotten/done from the beginning? Asking for a me! @AcademicChatter

6 years in the making, grateful to see 300 in 10 as a valid BT training option for residents. Grateful to Andrew Farach, Hong Zang as our leaders and Ryan Kerdon, Melissa Pomerene as our admin team and ABS. Particles or BT: choice is obvious!
Are you a PGY4/5? We invite you to apply for our 300in10, 2-month fellowship program focusing on advancing #brachy. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a community committed to training competent brachytherapists. bit.ly/4all3Fk @AndrewFarach @daniel_petereit

Having benefited from excellent mentors over the course of her career, a physician concludes that a true mentor is someone who has more imagination about you than you have about yourself. Read the full Perspective: nej.md/3SDFcPf
