Senior Scientific Editor @jem.org. Interested in neuroscience, haematology, and lymphatics. Opinions are my own. She/her.
Very happy to share the final #People&Ideas of 2025 from Esther Obeng! I met Esther earlier this year and I was really struck by her passion for her work and her patients. Read more here 👉 rupress.org/jem/article/...
Esther Obeng: It's exciting to tackle questions that don't yet have answers. @lucie-jexpmed.bsky.social recently spoke to Esther about her move from St. Jude to Emory, how her patients inform her research, as well as the joys and struggles of running as a hobby. rupress.org/jem/article/...

Beautiful talk from Sohail Tavazoie at #SITC25! The intersection between neuroscience and cancer is fascinating, and particularly enjoyed the reminder that nerves in cancer were identified in @jem.org in 1897! 🧐 #JEMlegacy rupress.org/jem/article-...
