Asangani Lab is funded again by DoD. This time DoD Idea Expansion award to study the PP2A-AR axis in refractory prostate cancer. 😀

The University of Pennsylvania @PennMedicine Department of Cancer Biology @Penn_CBIO seeks MD and/or PhD candidates for multiple tenure track positions at the Assistant Professor level. Applicants with expertise in any specific area of CBIO are encouraged. apply.interfolio.com/96881

The @AsanganiLab is looking for a postdoc in Cancer Epigenomics and Transcriptional Addiction - learn more about the position at the link below and come join a great team! bit.ly/2Sxm2ip

If you are refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19, maybe it's because you are getting your medical advice from news pundits, fearmongers, conspiracy theorists, and other deeply misinformed people, rather than from Medical Professionals.

Many thanks to @AsanganiLab @CD_AACR View: p300/CBP inhibition, CCS1477. A novel therapeutic approach for AR-addicted advanced prostate cancer. cancerdiscovery.aacrjournals.org/content/11/5/1…

Our COVID-19 paper is out in iScience (Cell Press). Extremely proud of first authors @deng_qu @Reyazrasool and Ram Natesan for their contribution to this critical pandemic-related work. #COVID19 #ACE2 #TMPRSS2 @PennMedicine @PennEpiInst @PCFnews cell.com/iscience/fullt…

Excited to share our new study on Ewing Sarcoma (EwS). Here we discover stereociliary protein LOXHD1 as a novel oncogene and a potential tumor antigen in EwS. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #sarcoma #immunotherapy #enhancer @GrunewaldLab @deng_qu @biorxivpreprint

Just learned we received funding from @theNCI #BeauBidenCancerMoonshot to study lineage plasticity in prostate cancer! Looking for talented post-docs to drive this project @UMRogelCancer! Please apply and re-tweet! @PCF_Science @UrologySBUR @AmerUrological @UmichCancBio @UMich

Very excited to share our results about novel subtypes of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer ! Led by the awesome @FanyingTang. A true collaboration between @WeillCornell & @sloan_kettering and special thanks to Yu Chen ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@bushraiitk @ConcernFdn @PennEpiInst Thanks.

Excited to share our new story on COVID-19. Our results have implications for understanding male bias in COVID-19 severity and mortality, and provide a strong rationale for androgen deprivation or anti-androgen therapy in men with SARS-CoV-2 infection. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our story "Cell Cycle Checkpoints Cooperate to Suppress DNA and RNA-Associated Molecular Pattern Recognition and Anti-Tumor Immune Responses". Really a team effort to make it happen @RogerRogergr @brokendna Big thanks to our collaborators @andyjminn @AsanganiLab

@VikramParalkar @DrNateW Congrats, Vikram!

Our paper is out, finally. Congratulations to first authors, @ritika0107 & @ManzarNishat, coauthors, collaborators @NallasivamPala4 @mishabeltran @AminaZoubeidi @FKhaniPath. Thanks to @India_Alliance for funding. Thanks @DBTIndia @serbonline @IITKanpur nature.com/articles/s4146…
