Meet #MSKPostdoc Agnieszka Chryplewicz (@aga-chryplewicz.bsky.social) from the @sawyerslabmskcc.bsky.social! She studies how tumor-derived factors in prostate cancer shape immune responses to promote tumor growth and limit treatment success.
#NPAW2025 🇵🇱
#KnowAboutMyScience: Tumors are complex ecosystems - not just cancer cells, but networks of interacting cell types. I study these relationships to uncover how cancer hijacks biology and help develop better therapies. #CareerAdvice: Challenge yourself by changing environments- new institutions, cities, or countries. It's one of the best ways to grow as a scientist. #BecomingAScientist: I once dreamed of being an investigative journalist. Now I chase mysteries at the cellular level, just as fascinating, only under a microscope. #FunFuct: From sports to theater, my childhood was packed with activities. Each taught me something different, but together they shaped my creativity, discipline, and persistence- qualities I catty into science.

OUT NOW: ERG-driven prostate cancer initiation is cell-context dependent and requires KMT2A and DOT1L rdcu.be/eEVKR @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @natureportfolio.nature.com #SawyersLabMSKCC
ERG-driven prostate cancer initiation is cell-context dependent and requires KMT2A and DOT1L
Nature Genetics - Lineage tracing in mice identifies a subpopulation of basal cells that express Tmprss2 and Nkx3 as the origin of ERG-driven prostate cancer. Upon expansion, these cells show an...
