Pathway to Independence Award recipient Nikita Bhalerao, PhD, aims to find earlier interventions for patients with cancer cachexia, a cancer-associated syndrome characterized by uncontrollable weight loss that occurs in up to 80 percent of pancreatic cancer patients. #PancreaticCancer @PitarresiLab

If you are at the @MetastasisRS meeting, stop by graduate student @peura_jessica's poster #85 at the poster session that is about to start. She has an amazing project on a new driver of metastasis in pancreatic cancer, and we would love your feedback!

New publication from our group: what happens inside human endometrial tumors during a ketogenic diet? We analyzed paired tumor biopsies before and after a very low-carbohydrate intervention in women with endometrial cancer 🧵

Delighted to share that postdoc in the lab, Nikita Bhalerao, just got the NOA for her K99! In what has been a tough year for funding, nothing brings me more joy than to see Nikita's hard work pay off. Hiring committees, be on the lookout in the coming year!

Very excited to report on our lab’s unexpected adventure into subtyping cancer cachexia by way of anatomy, where we study the evolution of the bodies (not the genomes!) of patients with cancer during profound weight loss. Led by Sonia Boscenco. medrxiv.org/content/10.648…

Grad students Calvin Johnson and @EthanHCChang attended Immunology 2026, the annual meeting of the American Association of Immunologists, this week. They both have exciting projects about immunosuppression in PDAC and are coming back re-energized by the meeting!

Congrats to @EthanHCChang for passing his Qualifying Exam! He is building subtype specific mouse models of PDAC and already has some exciting data looking at how this alters tumor host interactions! Congrats!
