So thrilled for John Liu, MD PhD and launching his lab - I can vouch for how awesome he is since our undergrad years (like 10+ years ago now, time flies). Can't wait to see the discoveries his lab will make, and excited to work together again in the coming months!
#PhDone ✅ So many people to thank - grateful to the Department of Medicine at UCLA Health David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA #STAR Program for this unique opportunity, my committee members (Marco Giovannini, Steven Jonas, Richard Wirz, & Harley Kornblum). It was truly a village that got me through some of the tough times
I am sad that I can't be at #NFCon24 this year but thankful for PhiOanh "Leia" NghiemPhu, MD's mentorship in this space for our NF/SWN patients and looking forward to continuing to work with her and lean on her expertise.
Happy 4th of July - to celebrate, we asked if there is meaningful heterogeneity within somatic NF1 mutant glioblastomas? We think so biorxiv.org/content/10.110… As always, appreciate everyone that made this work possible UCSF Neurosurgery UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Ctr Neurofibromatosis Therapeutic Acceleration Program Children's Tumor Fdn
Our comparative analysis of #IDHmutant #glioma is finally published in SNO. Years in the making and thankful for the support of AaronYeo Keith Ligon Wenya Linda Bi Mehdi Touat Jen Cotter and all of our co-authors academic.oup.com/neuro-oncology…
Congratulations Anthony Wang, MD on all your hard work to bring this trial to fruition. So heartening to have a promising clinical trial for this rare brain tumor disproportionately impacting the #AYA population. UCLA Neurosurgery 🧠 #BTSM
Congrats! Proud to support Soragni:Lab! The lack of therapies for #cNF stems from the complexity of their cell composition. Dr. Soragni & team developed a high-throughput organoid screening platform that rapidly tests 3D tumor organoids for drug efficacy. Great work! #NF1
Thrilled to share our latest work, just out in Clinical Cancer Research! Seamless collab between Jack Shern’s lab NCI CCR Pediatric Oncology Branch, Angela Hirbe’s lab WashUOncology + my lab Mayo Clinic Radiation Oncology. Led by 1st authors Taylor Sundby, MD 🧬, J Szymanski & A Pan. Tweetorial coming soon from Taylor! aacrjournals.org/clincancerres/…
Excellent work showing the importance of comprehensive genetic testing in people with schwannomas who do not meet clinical diagnostic criteria for NF2-related schwannomatosis #NF2 #schwannomatosis #genetictesting #variantinterpretation #NWGLH #UoM The North West Genomic Laboratory Hub pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39209702/
Very happy to announce our latest paper on pediatric/AYA glioma! 🎉See tutorial from fantastic Gustavo Cruzeiro and Ilon Liu below 👇🏻- I’m so very proud of your resilience and dedication! #endbraincancer Dana-Farber Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Boston Children's
How do "benign" meningiomas grow? And can we tell if they're benign using non-invasive tests? Charlotte Eaton from RaleighLab answers both of these question in a collaboration with Danielle Swaney, now online in Nature Communications.

Out today in Cancer Cell, Meeki Lad, MPH from my lab shows that skull bone marrow contributes "hybrid neutrophils" to GBM with antigen-presenting capacity allowing an anti-tumoral response. Intracalvarial AMD3100 releases these cells and prolongs survival! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
