Excited to share our new manuscript, now published in Blood! BCMA #CART show impressive responses for #myeloma, but pts with high-risk cytogenetics relapse more quickly and are in urgent need of new therapies. Thread👇 (1/10) ashpublications.org/blood/articl...

Thrilled to share our new paper in Blood! We show that CD70 is upregulated in high-risk MM, and that a CD27-based anti-CD70 CAR-T design achieves >80-fold improved expansion in vivo. So honored to co–lead this work with @corynnkasap.bsky.social, Adila Izgutdina under

STAND UP FOR SCIENCE!✊🏽💪
Great turnout in #SanFrancisco to defend science from political attacks. Funding science is what actually makes America great vehicle for economic growth, advances in innovation, American leadership, upward mobility for Americans, and overall benefit to humanity.

NIH funding of basic + translational science trainees is critical for advancing the standard of care for cancer patients. I could not have done the work I did, and want to continue to do, without the 9+ years of NIH support I have received.

A proposal:
Academic researchers and folks in similar positions, consider writing an op-Ed, or at least a letter to the editor, in your local paper about what these horrific decisions will do to jobs and services *in your local community*.
I train scientists to write op-Ed’s and I can help.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care!
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Well said @dereklowe.bsky.social. Academia produces two vital products: (1) knowledge, and (2) human capital that knows how to use it. If we can’t train enough young creative US scientists to fulfill biopharma industry needs…
“I think they're being short-sighted, because fear does that to you.”
“I think they're being short-sighted, because fear does that to you.”
Biopharma companies and CEOs are keeping their heads down at their own peril. They should speak up about what’s happening to the NIH and other science agencies before it’s too late.
Silence gives consent. And no one should consent to this.
