#WIPs highlight:Tina Andoh (Gruber Lab) presents work showing that VISTA binds highly sulfated heparan sulfate in a pH-dependent manner; a potential mechanism for VISTA-mediated immune suppression that may help guide new strategies for VISTA-targeted cancer immunotherapy. 🧬🔬
English
#WIPs highlight: Arlene Levario (Conacci-Sorrell Lab) presents work identifying ZNF692 as a novel regulator of ribosome biogenesis and nucleolar integrity. By showing that ZNF692 loss triggers nucleolar stress and may strengthen p53-mediated tumor suppression. 🧬🔬
English
#WIPs highlight: Blake Schwettmann (Maddipati & Brekken Lab) presents work identifying MIF as a driver of immune suppression in PDAC. By showing that MIF inhibition reduces tumor growth and metastasis while shifting the TME toward anti-tumor immunity. 🧬🔬

Happy to share that I have been awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship (2026-2029) from the American Cancer Society. Grateful to my mentor, Dr. Gerta Hoxhaj, and the Children’s Research Institute, UT Southwestern for continued support. Excited for what’s ahead!

Excellent work, Peter the Cat Dad! 🐱
We started thinking about this project when he was a med student considering a PhD—when we had only ~15–20 preop SABR cases. Letting the data mature paid off. Great first correlative obs. More science to come!
