Loved participating!

Grateful to everyone who joined our Hill visits this week advocating for stronger support of biomedical research. Your efforts to champion increased NIH funding help drive discovery and improve lives. #SITContheHill

The November issue of @CD_AACR is now online! The cover features work by @diwakardavar, @OveracreLab, and colleagues providing evidence that sucralose consumption ablates cancer immunotherapy response through microbiome disruption - read that and more: aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…

Had a great time sharing our work on irAEs and the microbiome at @AACR today! Listening in to a fantastic panel of experts on the evolving needs in this space.

Extremely honored to receive the @UPMCHillmanCC Emerging Scholar Award this year. Even more excited to see one of my exceptional PhD students, Kelsey Ertwine, win the Director’s Award for her research on the microbiome and Tregs in cancer!

ICYMI: Good news! The House rejected the proposed 40% NIH funding cut. The bill released has NIH funded at $48 billion, almost identical to the Senate’s number of $48.7 billion.
