Tumor-secreted molecules induce NKG2A on CD8+ T cells, promoting resistance to PD-1 blockade in head and neck cancer. Our study uncovers mechanisms of T cell dysfunction & points to new therapeutic targets. @Muhammadbmirza @Korro18 @JeffRathmell journals.aai.org/immunohorizons…

Excited to continue my academic journey and surgical training at @VUMCSurgRes as an incoming intern in 2024. Thank you for trusting me with this opportunity, @TheRealDrBailey and @Carmensolcar.

It takes a village to do this work, and I am incredibly lucky to have great mentors in the lab at @VUMCDiscoveries. Their guidance has been invaluable in learning about cancers and making a difference. @EbenRosenthal @youngkim

Thrilled to have presented our work on CRC metastases at the #SSO24 plenary session and honored to be recognized with the top CRC abstract award. Grateful to my mentor and sponsor Dr. Kamran Idrees for his support.

Rock ⭐️ alert‼️ Incredibly proud of @mtalhawaheed plenary presentation @SocSurgOnc #SSO2024 on the optimal endpoints for trials in peritoneal oncology. A huge collaborative effort from the PSOLARIS study group.. not possible without @oliviawriting @LanaBijelicMD

Such an IMPORTANT talk from @VUMCSurgery Dr. Aimal Khan, #CRC #surgeon on the use of 3D #imaging to help explain the #colorectalcancer surgery procedure to a patient and how this reduced #patient #anxiety @VUMCDiscoveries @VUMC_Cancer @VUMC_Insights #EAOCRC

Thrilled to have presented on translation and clinical cancer research at #ASC2024, with the incredible Dr. Magge moderating our session. @VUMCSurgery @VUMCSurgOnc @AKUGlobal

I stand with my Baloch sisters who are demanding accountability against enforced disappearances. It is their right to protest peacefully and their voices must be heard.

Blown away by @dana_peer’s enlightening talk on cancer cell plasticity at Vanderbilt. Such a privilege and a total treat to absorb insights from leading minds in the field!

Incredible experience at my first SAAS meeting! Presented our work in the plenary session and a quick shot. Met some fantastic people and had the most amazing butter chicken in a while. #SAAS2023 @VUMCSurgOnc

Such an honor to dive into Halsted's legacy, guided by another titan in the field: John Cameron. #SAAS2023

@ChataniMD @tellkrish @franklowery Congratulations! This looks really cool.

Incredibly grateful to Dr. Steven Rosenberg, @tellkrish, @franklowery, and countless others who helped bring this project to fruition. This method of identifying tumor-reactive T-cells is effective, accessible and cost-conscious. Perfectly summarized by @tellkrish!
