Fred Hutch immunologist Dr. Meghan Koch discovers a biological mechanism sprung in the first week of life that trains a mouse pup’s immune system to tolerate harmless gut bugs and new foods — insights that could lead to potential therapies for food allergies in newborns and infants.

Fred Hutch researchers received $1M from the Washington Research Foundation to accelerate the development of technologies with significant potential to improve patient health. Congrats to Drs. Sujatha Srinivasan, David Fredricks, Dan Raftery and Kristin Lastwika! Read more: https://bit.ly/3Vn6xHk

Endowed chairs are an increasingly important resource @fredhutch.org, giving researchers the freedom to pursue novel ideas that might not otherwise get funded. The Lerner family’s generosity will be a perpetual force for innovation as we create the future of #cancer research and care.

Fred Hutch's Dr. Stephanie Lee and collaborators recently published research in @jco-asco.bsky.social that shows patients unlikely to find a matched unrelated stem cell donor should proceed with alternative donors to avoid delays. #HCT 👉 bit.ly/3K9lb2s

Wednesday I'll be charity #fundraising for #cancer research benefiting @fredhutch.bsky.social as a participant in their Raids for Research event on #Twitch. It's hard to ask for money, if unable to donate, I ask if you would consider donating your time and your shares on social media.

Not only am I gonna start Silksong later this week, but I'll also be doing some charity streams for @fredhutch.bsky.social for their Raids for Research event to raise money for cancer research! More info about the charity streams coming soon, but they'll be Sept 18, 21, 22, and 23.

This #RaidsforResearch, we have a jam packed week with 5 Fred Hutch researchers joining Twitch fundraising streams! Tune in to support these creators as they learn more about cancer, science, and the impact of Philanthropy! 🔬
