So excited that our work on infectious tolerance and CAR Tregs made the cover of ⁦@ScienceTM⁩ today. A project that’s been in the works by ⁦@CM_Wardell⁩ for years.

@saif_dababneh @stemcellreports Congrats Saif!

Happy to share our @stemcellreports review on examining 🫀noncoding variants in hiPSCs is now online. Importantly, we provide a resource summarizing epigenomic datasets (see thread for GSE IDs) in hiPSC-based cardiac models for the scientific community cell.com/stem-cell-repo…

@CurtisLeclerc39 Congrats Curtis!

Very excited to be involved in such important work in Canadian Cancer Clinical Trials! ⚠️ Our latest paper shows that tumor location matters in lung metastases treated with SABR. ✅ SABR remains safe and effective for tumor control. Read more: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #SABR

Huge congrats to @saif_dababneh and @HalvorsonTorin on winning a $40,000 @grantsfacilitat CD theme grant with their supervisors to conduct a novel collaborative project!

Huge congratulations to this year's Vanier scholars from the UBC MD/PhD program @HalvorsonTorin and Amy Wang!!🥳🎉 @UBCmedicine @UBCGradSchool @CIHR_IRSC

Congratulations to @BCCHResearch trainees, Torin Halvorson and Hebah Hussaina, on receiving a 2024 #VanierCanada Graduate Scholarship from @CIHR_IRSC and @SSHRC_CRSH for their respective projects. See the full list of recipients here: bcchr.info/4e37vjW

Congratulations to @HalvorsonTorin for his first place oral presentation at the @CITAC_ACCFC @CSCI_SCRC #AJM2024🥳🥳🥳

Amazing oral presentation talks by our students @HalvorsonTorin and @Liz_cg_ today at the @CITAC_ACCFC #AJM2024

Congrats to Torin on a great study looking at T-cell responses in transplant recipients & how circulating variants impact these responses. Great privilege to work with @mklevings, @belga_sara and others on this paper, now published in @TransplantJrnl: journals.lww.com/transplantjour…

@saif_dababneh @CJCJournals @GlenTibbits1 @bcchepresearch @DrSanatani Congrats Saif!

Our review on modeling HCM using human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes is now accepted at @CJCJournals ! onlinecjc.ca/article/S0828-… Thanks to all contributors @GlenTibbits1 @bcchepresearch

Check out our GVHD protocol: "Modelling Graft-Versus-Host Disease in Mice Using Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells" @bioprotocolbyte from @mklevings lab. @dom_boardman1 @katienmac @mojibian

Dr. @Dom_Boardman1 and a team in Dr. Megan Levings' (@mklevings) lab developed the first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to target a microbial antigen! 🦠 They aim to develop an optimized #Treg #CellTherapy to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. bit.ly/3ZltOKy
