My postdoc preprint is online now! We revealed GSX2 as a target of mutant IDH in glioma. Check full text below.

Mutant IDH silences GSX2 to reprogram neural progenitor cell fate and promote gliomagenesis biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_cancer

Excited to share another piece of my postdoc work, together with colleagues, we revealed an unappreciated signaling metabolite that stimulates neuronal activity in the glioma microenvironment and promotes glioma growth!

We report a new role for HIF in the regulation of endogenous retroviruses! It was a big collaborative effort to explore the HIF-mediated transcription, expression, and HLA presentation of ERVs in kidney cancer and leveraging them for immunotherapy cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Another great day for #relentlessdiscovery & #CancerResearch: @SamMcBrayer received $1.19M to study developmental origins of IDH-mutant glioma in adolescents & @M_Agathocleous received $900K to study the role of glutathione in leukemia development from @CPRITTexas.

BREAKING NEWS: #CPRIT approved $68 million in grants to advance the state’s fight against cancer, including CPRIT Scholar recruitment awards, core facility support and clinical trial funding. #TexansConquerCancer READ: ow.ly/Ilyk50V2SYR

Gliomas are among the most lethal and treatment-resistant human cancers. Listen to Sam McBrayer, an Assistant Professor at CRI, share how he and his lab are studying the way metabolism controls cell fate and cell function in the setting of #BrainCancer.
