Loved working with the @theaacr.bsky.social team, Steering Committee, and Dr Lillian Siu on the 15th AACR Cancer Progress Report. I was honored to present scientific progress and represent the cancer research community, working hard on behalf of all patients, at the press conference in DC.

At the AACR Cancer Progress Report 2025 release, Sandra McAllister touches on her paper in Cancer Discovery, "Interferon Signaling Is Diminished with Age and Is Associated with Immune Checkpoint Blockade Efficacy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer." Read the article: buff.ly/fYyGBgI

It’s almost here!!! Tune in Wed 9/17, 12pm (ET) for the 15th edition of the AACR Cancer Progress Report The report highlights advances of the past year and celebrates 15 years of transformative research A powerful testament to how investment in cancer research saves lives. @theaacr.bsky.social

🚨 REVIEW 🚨 #Ageing alters immune function and cancer outcomes. McAllister et al. explore how age-resolved immunoprofiling and models of ageing haematopoiesis reveal immune dynamics and new paths to optimize cancer therapy across age groups.

Online today! *Aging, Immune Fitness and Cancer* 🔬 Learn the latest about the intersection between these processes in @natrevcancer.nature.com 🧬 Great to work with @sandramcallister.bsky.social lab again 😁 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

It’s out!!!!! We hope our review on aging, immunity, and cancer is helpful. Such a rewarding group effort led by Melissa Dolan, with Kendra Libby, Alison Ringle, and @vangalenlab.bsky.social So grateful to @gabriellebrewer.bsky.social @natrevcancer.nature.com for her efforts and support

Today, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) called on Congress to reject the Administration's nearly 40% cut to the NIH budget and allocate a bipartisan funding increase to $51.3 billion for the agency to accelerate progress for patients. www.aacr.org/about-the-aa...

Day 4 of #AACR25 features the Annual Business Meeting of Members, at which Lillian Siu will begin her term as AACR President. In addition, join us this morning for the plenary session on Innovative Technologies Driving Advances in Cancer Research.

@jdegregori.bsky.social illuminates how aging and smoking alter tumor adaptive landscapes at #AACR25.

#AACR25 is here!! Ready to be inspired & humbled learning about life-saving cancer research from our global community. Our team Drs. Milos Spasic, Adrienne Parsons, Hanna Starobinets @hannastarobin.bsky.social will discuss their work on #Cancer&Aging #TumorMacroenvironment #Biomarker&DrugDiscovery

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

In my first Drosophila study at @salehlabparis.bsky.social, we found that: 1. Enteric viral infections accelerate aging. 2. Even if the infection is cleared, aging process remains triggered. 3. Accelerated aging correlates with reduced lifespan. 📑Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🗣ASH needs your help‼️ ️Congress needs to pass legislation extending funding for federal agencies and programs by THIS Friday. Reach out to your elected officials to share the importance of research funded by the #NIH. Take action today: www.hematology.org/a...#NIH. #HemeSky

Thank you #EACR colleagues and friends 🙏🏻🤍

Proud to #StandupforScience. Let’s keep the momentum going. We are not just supporters of science and global health….we’re voters.

Happy to share this new #glycotime work with collaborator Tony Wyss-Coray, led by grad student Sophia Shi, mucin loss at the BBB is associated with aging and cognitive decline, can be reversed by restoration with with gene therapy. Aging is a mucinopathy! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In bipartisan conversations about NIH 🧪 funding, where I see💡go off: $ we can request from 🇺🇸taxpayers for our service has not changed in decades despite ⬆️ costs Progress 📈 & accounting 💵 are reviewed yearly, no matter grant duration No reimbursement for overspending; unspent funds are returned.

Uncovering molecular mechanisms of longevity in an 116yo woman by multiomics profiling. She had 3 CHIP mutations (2 TET2 mutations and 1 SF3B1) but she had a remarkably high composition of memory T cells and B cells in her 🩸. How many distinct #HSC clones did she have? tinyurl.com/SuperagerM116

Back of the napkin calculation 🧮 … Even if the entire NIH budget were eliminated, each US citizen would save ~$11/year. Or, each US taxpayer would save ~$230/year. That may be a lot of 💰 but I didn’t even do the calculation for what it would COST taxpayers….
