Can we disrupt cancer’s evolutionary trajectory? Drs. Pienta, Goodin & Amend examine metastasis as an ecologic invasion—and how clinicians can intervene—in their latest #OpenAccess article in CA: acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.33… @Cancerecology @sr_amend @OncoAlert

The dual capacity for cancers to metastasize and resist systemic treatment is the tipping point for driving lethal cancer. Drs. Pienta, Goodin & Amend explore how eco-evolutionary principles can guide new interventions: acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.33… @Cancerecology @sr_amend @OncoAlert

“Studying, understanding, and treating cancer using evolutionary ecology principles provides an opportunity to improve the lives of patients with cancer.” Read a new #OpenAccess article from Drs. Pienta, Goodin & Amend: acsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.33… @Cancerecology @sr_amend @OncoAlert

A new study challenges Peto’s Paradox, which says larger animals are no more likely to get cancer than smaller ones. Dr. Sarah Amend from @HopkinsMedicine joins us to discuss the findings and what studying animal cancer rates could teach scientists. buff.ly/41jn9SO

Study in @PNASNews (bit.ly/4h3SpLy) by @HopkinsMedicine @brady_urology & @UniofReading @ReadingBioSci dispels 45-yr-old #PetosParadox claiming no link btwn animal size & #cancer rates. Data say larger species have more tumors. @PCF funded. More at bit.ly/43afEQI

Best of 2024: The 9th Annual @PCF_Science Gender Equity Networking Initiative (GENI) Forum🥰

@Fletcher_C representing the PCF #GENI - Gender Equity Networking Initiative - at the #PCFRetreat24. Please fill out the survey linked to the QR code ⬇️

A man who deserved the two standing ovations regardless of his own cancer journey. @felixfengmd: “I just want to thank my friends” and “Behind every clinical trial is a patient like me. Thank you.” #PCFRetreat24

Starting off #PCFRetreat24 with the #GENI Gender Equity Networking Initiative and the keynote speaker @PamSharmaMDPhD discussing her scientific journey with challenges faced and lessons learned. @PCF_Science @PCFnews @CPDR_Labs @USUhealthsci @nciccr_gmb

#PaperDrop from the #ShafiLab AR coactivators, CBP/p300, are key players in #DNArepair in #prostatecancer. Targeting them could be a new strategy for treating CRPC. @CPDR_Labs @AmerCancerCEO @McHair18 @AdamSharpMedOnc @LisaButler5 @xiaofengsu @PCF_Science nature.com/articles/s4138…

Thanks to PIs @djmcconkey, @lupold_lab, & @aghazimd and in lab mentors. This summer experience is only possible through BSI-SIP, the work of SURE founder, Brandy Yeater, and generous support from donors. Thank you!

SURE students who spent the summer doing research at @brady_urology presented their work at the CARES symposium today - great work done by talented students!

This thought-provoking set of rules for science by a Nobel Prize winner would be fascinating to discuss on the Night Science Podcast! @nightsciencepod

Great work from @AyeshaShafi_PhD @CPDR_Labs hitting AR coactivators to initiate DNA damage and overall superior tumor response 👊🏼

How chemotherapy drives metastasis by causing tumor cells to become significantly more mobile. @sr_amend @HopkinsMedicine joins @AndreaMiyahira @PCFnews to discuss her work on polyaneuploid cancer cells and their increased metastatic potential > bit.ly/48IGpv7

Thanks for having me! Enjoyed discussing the importance of peer mentoring (shoutout to #PCF_ONE program with @sr_amend) and highlighting the benefits of a supportive tribe (@RJamshidi_MDPhD)! #WomenInSTEM #NextGen #TeamScience
