Overacre Lab

I am thrilled to finally share my lab's first paper showing that sucralose consumption reduces immunotherapy efficacy in cancer, published NOW in @CD_AACR ! Let's break it down. 1/n aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…

New paper in @NatureMicrobiol. Spatial RNA mapping of microbiome and host. In situ polyadenylation is the key idea. More to come on this. Thank you @NIH and @weandmecfs. nature.com/articles/s4156…

Honored to be part of this @UPMC Cancer Prevention and Survivorship Symposium today!

An incredible study, congrats all!

We also had great representation by @Kate_Wolfgang_ and @sadhanabom in the lab!

Congrats to @jessica_jana_ and Kelsey Ertwine for receiving @ImmunologyAAI awards at @TRCCC1998 this year!!

I got to share some new work in the lab during the Microbiome Emerging Science Working Group

Congrats to @ItzDipyaman for being selected for a SITC sponsored talk where he talked about Tregs and irAEs!

The lab had a great time @TRCCC1998 this year!

Honored to be featured by @DamonRunyon this year! damonrunyon.org/discovery/arti…

Love being a part of this! Thanks for including me @JExpMed !

So thankful for this crew! Missing a couple folks, but we got out of the lab for some cheer tonight!

Incredibly proud PI today after @Pitt_PMI day! My three incredible students presented their work and helped to organize an awesome event! @jess_jana_ @Kate_Wolfgang_

On the latest Outperform Cancer podcast, @OveracreLab chats with @marybethgilliam about her new research showing that the artificial sweetener #sucralose weakens #immunotherapy effectiveness by disrupting the #microbiome outperformcancer.com/podcast/dr-abb…

Honored to be featured on the Outperform Cancer podcast by @marybethgilliam covering our work on artificial sweeteners and immunotherapy! outperformcancer.com/podcast

Cheers to these super talented trainees from @UPMCHillmanCC @pitt_immunology on their travel awards!

Had yet another awesome year at @sitcancer Annual Meeting! Also wonderful to celebrate some titans in the field from @UPMCHillmanCC !

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #STEMSTEAMDay: scim.ag/48YwNzI @NewsfromScience

Loved participating!

The November issue of @CD_AACR is now online! The cover features work by @diwakardavar, @OveracreLab, and colleagues providing evidence that sucralose consumption ablates cancer immunotherapy response through microbiome disruption - read that and more: aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…

Science is not a contest to be won. It’s a collective pursuit of truth that evolves with evidence - not a debate settled by opinion or the loudest voice.
