Looking fwd, I am honored for this privilege of returning to MSK, working w immense talent to advance their mission of ending cancer. Looking back, I am indebted to Penn, all my colleagues, and to the organizations supporting the research of all who tirelessly share this mission.
We're excited to share that Dr. Andy Minn will return to MSK as the inaugural Chair of MSK’s new Immuno-Oncology Program in August.
This is a full-circle moment for Dr. Minn, a renowned physician-scientist, who completed his postdoctoral training with Dr. Joan Massagué, Director of the Sloan Kettering Institute (SKI), and his residency in the Department of Radiation Oncology, both at MSK, in 2003 and 2005 respectively.

”If I get an award, I have an opportunity to thank people. I also thank the people who tried to make my life miserable because they made me work harder and become more resilient.”
Next week, our podcast returns with conversations featuring our 2024 laureates.
In the meantime, have a listen to one of our favourite episodes from last season with 2023 medicine laureate Katalin Karikó: bit.ly/3yQkJQN

Trump terminated $1.8B in science funding in 40 days. A loss of ~$4.6B in future economic activity. Means a higher fraction of new discoveries will be overseas. We'll be buying our future drugs from other countries...and, oh - they'll have tariffs on them.

The best start to a week: @BrianGoldspiel’s phenomenal thesis defense today. For the last 5 years, it’s been a true joy getting to know the brilliant, multi-talented person Brian is. His infectious passion has transformed the lab and he’ll be deeply missed. Could not be prouder🥲
