I’m excited to be speaking at #IMMUNOLOGY2025™ on immunotherapy for ovarian cancer & engineered TCR T cells! Join me to explore hurdles facing T cells in solid tumors & the impact on immunotherapy efficacy. Register today! #immunology immunology2025.aai.org/register/ #AAI2025 @sitcancer.bsky.social

I’m a very #ProudPI this week. Watching Dr. Asmaa Mohamed, Rossymar Rivera, and Yaning Li present updates on their research projects has been a bright spot in the darkness of the past few weeks. Thank you #TRCCC for continuing to highlight trainee voices at the podium!

Happy New Year!

We were so fortunate this year to have another group of incredible UVA BIMS rotation students spend time in the lab! I feel so lucky to get to work with these amazing colleagues and trainees every day. Shout out to @justintaylorlab.bsky.social for the lively B cell + T cell weekly lab meetings!

I’m excited to be a co-organizer this year for the SITC Winter School, where we focus on the core principles of #TumorImmunology & #CancerImmunotherapy. We’ll also be discussing advancements in drug development, biomarkers, & clinical trials. More info here: go.sitcancer.org/3XOCoBh Please join us!

Wishing everyone a joyous and restful holiday season. Happy holidays from the Anderson Lab Team! Big thanks to Christos in the UVA CIC for the professional photo and to Rossymar for her photoshop skills.

Postdocs in Immuno-Oncology: consider this awesome career development opportunity! You get to network with accomplished faculty and rising start peers in preparation for running a research group!

I was honored to share the stage with these brilliant women to discuss how important the advocate voice is to scientific research. Check out the Black Cancer Collaborative and the Powell Drescher Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation for info on how your research could benefit from involving advocates!

Back in 2018, Dr. Yu Cao and I were selected to present in the #SITC Presidential Session. Since the pandemic, every year we are both at the Annual Meeting we take a picture to memorialize "growing up" together in science. Looking forward to continuing to add to our photo montage!

It was an honor to speak alongside Dr. Ana Anderson at the #SITC24 Primer this year and tag-team an introduction to the Cancer Immunity Cycle. If you (or your trainees) want an intro to immunotherapy concepts before doing a deep dive at the Annual Meeting, join us a day early next year!

Another great year at #SITC24! Thank you to the #SITC Early Career Scientist Committee for another amazing year of programming. Excellent conversations at the Meet the Expert Lunch, Grant Writing Workshop, Speed Mentoring & the Networking Event. #SITC25 can't come fast enough!

Another @sitcancer meeting is complete! So much science and so many reunions packed into so few days. Great @sitcancerECS programming, an excellent #Checkpoints show, some comedy and a little bit of magic! #SITC23 was a huge success. Already excited for #SITC24!

It is a privilege to be on this amazing committee (@sitcancerECS) who put so much care into planning helpful programming for our peers. We hope the sessions at #SITC23 were beneficial! Have ideas for future years? Let us know, or join us! @sitcancer

Hi everyone, excited to be here! I’m an early career researcher and just started my independent lab at the University of Virginia (UVA) in April 2023. We are an immunotherapy lab focused on engineering T cell therapies to overcome immune suppression in solid tumors.
