She also passed along this nice message: "Please thank your lab for the work that you do. The political side anti-research voice is currently loud and negative. The vast majority of us are deeply grateful for the work that you basic scientists are doing." Thank you!

HUGE congrats to the Brenner Lab! Anyone in this space knows how hard CLIA validation is, and this was a heroic effort. We're hard at work collaborating with this team to validate our best-in-class H3K27M ddPCR plasma test. Hoping to offer our test to patients later this year!

Amazing! So happy to host Dani (@DdlaNava) who is a freshly graduated PhD rockstar from the @Alonso_Lab. Dani is using these funds to study biofluids (CSF/plasma) from patients on the IL13Ra2 CAR-T trial to identify patterns of response/resistance. Congrats Dani!
