Sweet-Cordero Lab @ UCSF

Why is osteosarcoma so hard to treat? Its genome is complicated. The Osteosarcoma Institute is funding a new collaboration to target this genomic complexity and find new vulnerabilities in cancer cells. Read more: osinst.org/blog/gene-rese…

Congrats to postdoc Betsy Young @DrBetsYoung on her oral presentation on the intersection between Osteoimmunology and Osteosarcoma at @AegeanConf

Osteosarcoma isn’t one disease. We identify 2 epigenetically defined cell states driven by distinct transcriptional circuits and showing state-specific drug vulnerabilities. @CD_AACR doi.org/10.1158/2159-8… Led by @EuniceLoFuentes w/ @AbsoluteClug

🎉 Proud moment for our lab! Today, our postdoc Borja Ruiz Fernandez @borjaruiz55 attended the Sunbeam event as the recipient of the Pat Looney Sunbeam Scholar Grant. Honored to see his hard work and dedication recognized. Excited for the discoveries ahead! 🌟🔬

The lab is having a great time at #AACR2025! Eunice Lopez gave a fantastic short talk on epigenetics in osteosarcoma, and Andrew Clugston presented his poster on oncogenic structural changes in OS. We wrapped up the day with a fun night out and a great dinner in Chicago.#science

Great discussions at the #Crazy8 meeting in Philadelphia, hosted by @AlexsLemonade! Our lab was excited to be part of the conversation on advancing pediatric cancer research. Grateful for the insights and collaborations! #PediatricCancer #CancerResearch #Crazy8Meeting”

🎉 Congratulations to Brenda Melano on successfully defending her PhD dissertation today at UCSF! Your hard work and dedication have paid off—an incredible achievement, and we are so proud of you! 🚀 #PhDDefense #CongratsDrMelano

Exciting news from #SITC24! Our postdoc Borja Ruiz (@borjaruiz55) presented his latest research on the role of ENPP1 in osteosarcoma, shedding light on potential therapeutic approaches for this challenging cancer. Proud to have our team represented at #SITC2024 in Houston!

Whale watching at the ASC Lab Retreat 2024! An unforgettable experience spotting these amazing creatures. A perfect balance of science and nature here in Monterey! 🐋 #WhaleWatching #ScienceAndNature #TeamASC

Round two of talks at the ASC Lab Retreat 2024! Thought-provoking science and great discussions, all while enjoying some refreshments. A perfect mix of learning and fun! #TeamASC

Great start to Day 2 at the ASC Lab Retreat 2024! First round of scientific talks done, and the research being shared is incredible. More photos and insights to come! #ScienceInAction #TeamASC

Excited to kick off the ASC Lab Retreat 2024 in beautiful Monterey! A perfect blend of science and fun awaits us. Stay tuned for updates!#ScienceAndFun

Our postdoc Borja Ruiz presented his research on the role of ENPP1 in osteosarcoma at the Pediatric Malignancies Program at UCSF. Exciting developments in understanding this critical pathway. #Osteosarcoma #CancerResearch #UCSF"

Exciting day in the lab! 🎉 Our incredible PhD student, @SarahAnneCastro, just passed her qualification exam with flying colors. We're celebrating her hard work and dedication today—onward to the next chapter of her research journey! 🥳 #PhDSuccess #LabLife #ResearchMilestone

Thrilled by the success of the talk given by our postdoc @EuniceLoFuentes on epigenetics in osteosarcoma at @CSHL! Proud of the impactful work she is doing in our lab. We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of our research in this area.

Excited to have presented my work at CSHL. It was an incredible experience to share my research on KRAS-driven lung cancer with such a distinguished community. Grateful for the insightful feedback and looking forward to applying these new perspectives to our ongoing studies!

Dr. Sweet-Cordero kicks off the ‘Mechanisms and Models of Cancer’ meeting at CSHL with an insightful talk on the role of Rap1GDS1 in KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma. Exciting discussions ahead! @cshlmeetings

Hanna Whitney is finishing today an incredible summer internship, during which she has worked hard on the validation of therapeutic targets for metastatic osteosarcoma. We will miss you!

This week was not only focused on the art of science, but the Sweet-Cordero lab had the incredible opportunity to enjoy the art of music at the SF Symphony. 🎶🎵Such a wonderful experience

We start the day with these remarkable talks given by Betsy Young and Amanda Marinoff about targeting key pathways in Osteosarcoma! #FACTOR24
