How to disconnect therapy-resistant tumor networks in glioblastoma?
In our paper, online @Cancer Discovery, we built an anti-tumor microtube (TM) screening pipeline and found that Protein Kinase C activators disrupt TMs, silence Ca²⁺ “pacemakers” and boost radiotherapy.

I’m thrilled to report on work I led with Dr. Shawn Hervey-Jumper and Dr. Todd Hollon which shows that we can forecast where glioblastoma will recur even at time of initial resection.
It’s wonderful to see all the work I conducted during my research year @neurosurgucsf.bsky.social come together!
