The most precise cancer target ever discovered is not a drug company's molecule. It is the neoepitope... The mutation only your tumor carries, invisible to normal cells. Find it and present it. Let the immune system do what it was evolved to do. Our cancer moonshot coming to fruition.

After reading a lot of grant proposals, I have a theory for why the valley of death in translational research exists:
1. You can make it exciting to propose doing X-omics or testing role of process Y on a disease, even if its the 10th omics study and the 20th process tested…

Thrilled that my friend and colleague Andy Josephson will be the next dean of @UCSF School of Medicine. Brilliant clinician, gifted teacher, and one of the warmest people I know – a perfect fit for the moment. Can't wait to work with him in this role.

🚨Paper Alert🚨 After 4(!!!) years of revisions, the amazing @KetiCohen & team pushed out this beauty💪 Unlike what the textbooks say, V1 binocularity is not fixed: at high arousal, binocularity decreases while the strength of peripheral vision increases. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I remember Ethan Shevach talking about how he reviewed this paper in @J_Immunol and only accepted it because he thought “why not let this crazy idea through”, though all reviewers were highly skeptical. Not all Nobel Prize papers have to be in glam journals; they likely require a stroke of luck in review too!
This year’s medicine laureate Shimon Sakaguchi discovered a new class of T cells.
Sakaguchi was swimming against the tide in 1995, when he made a key discovery. At the time, many researchers were convinced that immune tolerance only developed due to potentially harmful immune cells being eliminated in the thymus, through a process called central tolerance.
Sakaguchi showed that the immune system is more complex and discovered a previously unknown class of immune cells, which protect the body from autoimmune diseases.
