The Herlyn Laboratory

NOLA is waiting for you! Registration is open!🛫 #smrcongress #melanomaresearch #NewOrleans

Our esteemed leader is going to presenting next week at Jefferson! This will be held in-person AND virtually...we'd love to have you join us! Jefferson.zoom.us/j/3098606687?o…

We recently marked the 3rd year since Shyam's passing. Going through old documents, we found and hung his 30-year anniversary certificate. This year he'd have been at Wistar for 35 years. In a way, he still is, driving our work and guiding the next generation of researchers.💙

Our cells speak to us. They tell us at each and every step how they feel, what they do, and with whom they interact. As researchers, it is our job to listen to what our cells are saying, but that listening is quite difficult. -Meenhard Herlyn, D.V.M, D.Sc.

From our lab to you, we send our best wishes for a joyful, peaceful holiday season and a bright, prosperous new year! See you in 2024!

Today is #GivingTuesday and we hope you'll consider @TheWistar. Whether you decide to donate to us or another organization, we thank you for your kindness and generosity. Even smaller amounts add up and can make a huge difference!🙌

@arjunrajlab @pennbioeng @PennEpiInst @PennGenetics Congrats, Arjun! 🎉

Wow, I still can't believe it! It is such an honor to receive this award. A huge thank you to all the members of my lab through the years—this award is for all of us! Also thanks to @pennbioeng for taking a chance on me those many years ago, and to @PennEpiInst and @PennGenetics!

We are thankful for so much, especially our hard-working team. One is our lab administrator, Jessica, who celebrates her 10th anniversary with the lab this week!👏We are so fortunate to have her and appreciate all of her efforts in keeping our lab in tip-top shape!

Last night was a true celebration of hard-working researchers and clinicians in making such incredible strides in #melanoma research, as well as honoring the next generation of scientists who will continue paving the way forward! The future is bright!🌟#SMR23 @SocietyMelanoma

@LabRoesch @RoeschAlexander 👏

Excited to be at the 20th #SMR congress in Philadelphia, where @RoeschAlexander talked about how IL-17 affects response to dual immune checkpoint inhibition.

@lynn_schuchter @TheWistar @PennCancer He looks so happy! :)

At #SMR 2023, great talk by our beloved colleague Meenhard Herlyn @TheWistar on modeling human melanoma. He received the SMR Founders Award. He began SMR 20 years ago right here in Philly!Congrats. @PennCancer.

Last night, Meenhard gave a spirited speech to help kick off this year's SMR Congress in Philly, where it all began in 2003! He also received the Founder's Award for bringing together scientists, clinicians, and advocates, reshaping the field of melanoma research. 🎉#smrcongress

SMR's 20th International Congress is just days away! In celebration of this milestone, here is a personal commentary looking back at the past two decades of melanoma research and how we can be even more successful in the future. #smrcongress tinyurl.com/2p9ebvzr

In just 6 weeks, the International Congress of the Society for Melanoma Research returns home to Philadelphia for its 20th anniversary!🎊In preparation, Meenhard, an original founder of SMR, shares his thoughts on the past 20 years of #melanomaresearch. tinyurl.com/ytjvk5h9

We're so incredibly lucky to have Drs. Thacker and Zheng as a part of the Herlyn lab!🙌They are integral to the continued success of not just the lab but the melanoma research field! Thank you both! #PostdocAppreciationWeek #womeninscience

We wanted to introduce our newest Research Assistant, Finley! 🎉They graduated in May from Haverford College with an environmental science background and are transitioning seamlessly into cancer research. We are fortunate to have them!

@LLanguino Now that will call for the party of the century...literally!

@HerlynLab Happy birthday Meenhard!!!! Yes!! You are the best!!! Looking forward to your 100!!!

Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of the man, the myth, the legend Meenhard Herlyn! Wishing you another year of great science and memorable adventures. Alles gute zum Geburtstag!🥳

We are thrilled to have the 20th anniversary of the SMR International Congress in Philly! We hope you'll join us for an incredible lineup of speakers and celebration of how far we've come since 2003. #SMRCongress #melanoma #philadelphia

After 2+ years in the lab, we wish our dear colleague Shelby Schenck a fond farewell as she leaves to pursue her PhD in Immunology at UVA. While we're sad to say good-bye, we are so proud of her and can't wait to see all she will accomplish in the future! #womeninscience
