What an exciting announcement!
BREAKING NEWS: The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2022 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Carolyn R. Bertozzi, Morten Meldal and K. Barry Sharpless “for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.”
Excited to see this story in print! Great collaboration with @sellmyerlab! "Using CD69 PET Imaging to Monitor Immunotherapy-Induced Immune Activation." aacrjournals.org/cancerimmun…

One coalescing area here at UPenn is Chemical Biology -- with a distinctly translational flavor. Check out the monthly research meetings (MRMs), where trainees highlight their science! Print and get there! <Website coming soon> @PennRadiology @BB_UPenn @PennMedEVDCSO

A big welcome to Claudia Wang! She recently finished her PhD with Liviu Mirica at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Very cool! Fluorescent-labeled folate will be very helpful for surgeons.
The FDA has approved a drug that illuminates ovarian cancer tissues when exposed to fluorescent light, allowing for easier identification and more precise removal. @PennCancer researchers led one of the largest clinical trials in the country for the drug. penntoday.upenn.edu/news/fda…
Excited to welcome David Zhao and Alex Chen to the lab! David recently finished his PhD with Roman Manetsch at Northeastern University, and Alex is currently a sophomore at Penn, in the Vagelos Scholars Program.

Greats news! And an FDA approval via academic collaboration - a great model for other imaging probes.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Ga-68 PSMA-11 for PET imaging of PSMA-positive lesions in men with prostate cancer. It is the first approval for a PSMA PET tracer in the United States. ow.ly/wbUz30rmUHB #ProstateCancer #NuclearMedicine #PrecisionMedicine

Congratulations Dave!
Congratulations to our Research Vice Chair, Dr. David Mankoff, recipient of the @RSNA Outstanding Researcher Award. It's given to honor a researcher considered a “pioneer who has fundamentally changed the future of our field”. We couldn’t agree more! rsna.org/annual-meeting/awar…

Excited that our work on tracking CAR T cells is out. Great collaboration with Mark Sellmyer @sellmyerlab, Sarah Richman, and Mike Milone. #celltracking doi.org/10.1016/j.ymthe.2019…

Glad to welcome Otto Dungan to the lab! He recently finished his PhD in John Chisholm's group at Syracuse University.
Congrats to Bryan Chang for finishing up an amazing year of research and graduating from @PennRadiology!!
