Excited to share findings of ICG use for SLNB in kids with sarcoma & melanoma! 👉🏽safe 👉🏽combined with technetium, ICG more reliably identified radioactive LNs vs blue dye sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @DrMarcusMalek @PittPedsSurg @PittSurgery @DrSeynnaeve @KRWSarcominator @pdaVignali
In a new @SciImmunology study, scientists explore how T cells in mice become dysfunction in #cancer and how to restore their #antitumor response. fcld.ly/5936spa
Thanks to all involved, including our four first authors @rhodesf0rd @pdaVignali @scharpingne Natalie Rittenhouse, and funding sources including: @TheMarkFdn @CancerResearch @UPMCHillmanCC @NIH_CommonFund!
New insights from @poholeklab, @DelgoffeLab, and colleagues suggest that even the most fatigued T cells can be revived. This opens potential new avenues for cancer immunotherapy that weren't possible before. upmc.com/media/news/080…
#Chromatin modifications and #hypoxia contribute to exhausted T cells in mouse #tumor model, according to @PittTweet researchers⤵️ fcld.ly/epg8con
Can #epigenetic signaling be used to combat T cell exhaustion for cancer #immunotherapy? Here @poholeklab used CUT&RUN + CUT&Tag to characterize #chromatin mechanisms underlying T cell exhaustion - revealing new avenues for drug development. hubs.la/Q01jBj9f0

These data are extra special to me. When I joined as a rotating MSTP student in ‘17, MJW and I spent the summer investigating two stories of immune cells & cancer. This is the 1st, now @Nature. We hope to share the 2nd soon. These projects got me hooked on science of @DelgoffeLab

A paper in Nature shows that immunosuppressive Treg cells in the tumor microenvironment can preferentially use lactate as a fuel source. go.nature.com/3kbShgS
"For there is always light, If only we are brave enough to see it If only we are brave enough to be it." -Amanda Gorman, National Youth Poet Laureate. Wonderfully written, perfectly delivered. A privilege to listen to her speak at the #Inauguration2021.
Congratulations to my friend, President @JoeBiden! This is your time.
Very excited to be presenting my research today at the Global Immunometabolism Forum (IMF) on how #cancer #metabolism enforces immunosuppressive functions in tumor-reactive #Tcells. @DelgoffeLab @DavidFinlayTCD
I was thrilled to be involved with this project; exploring how hypoxia (lack of available oxygen) in cancer can be targeted to improve cancer cell killing by T cells, with the involved mechanisms well delineated. Exciting and important work by @scharpingne.

With #COVID19 vaccine efficacy of ~95%, I'm looking forward to vaccine distribution in 2021 bringing the pandemic under control. However, I'm concerned that we'll see antigenic drift of SARS-CoV-2 and may need to update the strain used in the vaccine with some regularity. 1/18
Excited to be giving Grand Rounds at @NCIResearchCtr on Friday, 11/20 at 12pm! I'll discuss how tumor metabolism promotes the activity of exhausted and regulatory T cells: two papers currently in press! Open to the public, so come check it out: bit.ly/2JKa3tx
During an address Friday night, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said it's becoming clear voters "chose change," adding: "They've given us a mandate for action on COVID, the economy, climate change, systemic racism." More: cbsloc.al/36docqL
JOE BIDEN DEFEATS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP The Associated Press declares Joe Biden the winner of a grueling campaign for the American presidency. He will lead a polarized nation through a historic collision of health, economic and social crises. #APracecall
Very proud of my trainees Andrew, Paolo, Kristin, and Mac presenting their work in invited 10 minute and lightning round formats at the @PittTweet @PittBGSA Student Symposium today! An excellent showing from the lab!
Excited to announce the new Microbiology and Immunology Diversity Scholars (MIDS) Program! MIDS is an undergraduate research initiative established by @Pitt_PMI and aims to engage underrepresented students in biomedical research. Link in bio for more info!
The timing of this is not a coincidence-it is purposeful. We will not let this fly under the radar. Every. Single. American. Deserves comprehensive healthcare. No discrimination can be allowed to stand. We must come out en masse and reject this. @UPMC
