🧪 Ready, set, degrade!

So proud to share our work in the @jclinical-invest.bsky.social, establishing a versatile approach for creating transgenic dTAG mice to degrade oncoproteins. We showcase that KRAS G12V degradation triggers antitumor immunity in lung cancer.

Was an absolute pleasure to visit @qmbci.bsky.social, present my work and meet with this year’s MSc class. Only great memories from my time at the Center, where I began my graduate studies as a masters student myself. Lifelong relationships with mentors like these are hard to find!
