This was a fun project with John Rhee and Charlotta Lindvall on using LLMs to scour medical records. It has been wonderful to work with them! secure-web.cisco.com/1QgAtJ9SFoCj...

Everyone needs to watch this. Our children deserve better. They need MORE funding, resources and research. Not less. lnkd.in/gevV3Gth

Excited to get this out there as we go through revisions. These findings have changed how I think about KIAA1549-BRAF of pediatric gliomas, and all other fusions, completely. The fusion partner is important, necessary and engenders novel vulnerabilities that can be therapeutically targeted.

Terrible news for pediatric brain tumor research and incredible amount of hard work wasted. This very likely will result in some active trials prematurely closing without sufficient accrual to answer their aims.

Every dollar invested by the federal government on health research returns $2.60 in economic activity, not to mention the benefits to our health. The federal government spends very little on biomedical research as it is; it is so counterproductive to cut what remains. ☹️

Devastating news. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium has lost its ability to apply for federal funding upon which it is structured. Without this, it cant exist. This threatens access to clinical trials for children. These children need MORE funding and MORE trials, not less. They deserve better

Excited to share our paper reporting significance of FGFR-alterations across pediatric gliomas. Congratulations April Apfelbaum and Eric Morin and to everyone across our labs and collaborators. Thank you to the foundations and patients/ families who made this happen. www.bandolab.org rdcu.be/eyHcG

Excited to be part of the editorial team for the FIRST journal specifically focused on pediatric brain tumors. Submissions now open!

An inspirational (and fun) few days of science at the joint Bando-Beroukhim-Ligon Labs retreat in Maine. Joined by Nada Jabado, Claudia Kleinman and Veronica Rendo. We are all on the mission together to find better treatments for our kids #BandoLab

A fun project with @rameenberoukhim.bsky.social and @vrendo.bsky.social focused on how the interplay between structural variants at the BRD4 locus fine tunes its expression. Congratulations to Jeremiah, Simona, Sophie and team, and also to Veronica! Looking forward to many more collaborations ahead.

Congratulations to @vrendo.bsky.social. Very excited for the amazing science that is still to come from the Rendo Lab for our kids with brain tumors

The Bando and Beroukhim Labs (www.bandolab.org, www.beroukhimlab.org) are seeking a Senior Scientist to help find better treatments for children with brain tumors. More details here: careers.dana-farber.org/job/11089/sr... @rameenberoukhim.bsky.social #BandoLab #DFCI @broadinstitute.org

So excited to see this paper out! An example of how window of opportunity trials can help dissect the mechanisms of response and resistance associated with targeted therapies in glioblastoma 🧠 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Thanks to the patients and scientific team who made this study possible.

With an aim to drive collaborative team science & in honor of our remarkable #CARTcell patients, we started the annual Cleveland Hood Lecture w/ Dr Neev Manoharan of Sydney Children’s Hospital as our inaugural speaker. It’s a privilege to build intercontinental alliances against childhood cancer ❤️🔬

Congratulations to @johnprensner.bsky.social and the entire team!

Honored to have our recently published first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial of repeatedly dosed intracerebroventrocular B7-H3 #CARTcells for children with #DIPG highlighted in @theaacr.bsky.social and #CancerDiscovery Research Watch ❤️🔬

Proud to share this preprint on behalf of Nico, Daren and team with some insights that we hope will be helpful to those modeling K27M mutations in histone proteins. #BandoLab www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Why can a human tolerate a drug that globally inhibits transcription? Why do transcription inhibitors not cure cancer? Our first paper of 2025 may help explain (some) of this! So incredibly proud of @tobiaswilliams.bsky.social & Ewa Michalak who led the work! www.cell.com/molecular-ce...

A proud mentor moment! Congratulations to Jenna! We are so excited to have you in our team and working for children with brain tumors to find more effective and less toxic treatments. Www.bandolab.org @broadinstitute.org #DFCI #SNO2024 #ISPNO

#SNO2024…… my first BlueSky meeting! Excited to connect with friends, colleagues and collaborators and brainstorm around our projects focused on pediatric brain tumors. Www.bandolab.org #teamscience #PedBrainTumors #BandoLab #DFCI @broadinstitute.org We are on this mission together

Our Blue Skies repost of April and Eric's preprint, on behalf of the www.bandolab.org, Ligon Lab, David Jones, and collaborators, focused on FGFR-alterations in pediatric gliomas. #TeamScience #PedBrainTumors @broadinstitute.bsky.social #DanaFarber @dkfz.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hello to the Blue Sky community! Excited to join on behalf of www.bandolab.org! We are on a mission to find more effective and less toxic treatments for children with brain tumors
