GNAQ Induces Melanomagenesis in Mitfa-Independent Melanocyte Progenitors in a Zebrafish Model of Uveal Melanoma aacrjournals.org/cancerres/a…

A fantastic new #zebrafish model of uveal #melanoma from the lab of @TheKennyLab. This demonstrates the power of modeling rare but difficult to treat cancers, opening up new avenues to understand the biology and find new treatments. It has been really nice seeing this story evolve and congrats on this beautiful work: aacrjournals.org/cancerres/a…

Colin Kenny, PhD, has won three major awards in recent months. Kenny researches melanoma, having developed a zebra fish model to identify uveal melanoma biomarkers. He also studies how a melanoma's location affects tumor behavior. Read more about his work: internalmedicineiowa.org/202…

Cancer cells are notoriously plastic, but what triggers the changes in cell state? In our new @nature paper, Miranda Hunter found that mechanical pressure is a key to this switch. Check it out here: go.nature.com/47iwDm2

#NASmember Funmi Olopade’s genetic research revealed that the African pan-genome contains 10 percent more DNA than the current human reference genome, and that a fuller picture of the genetic basis of breast cancer is needed to help inform treatment and save lives. #NAS160

Excited & honored to be awarded a New Investigator @_BrightFocus Foundation Macular Degeneration Research award combining my PhD training in innate immunity @SDoyleTcd and postdoc in choroid biology & iPSC modeling @ChoroidLab @StemCellsEh to study choroidal macrophages in AMD.
Great job Rachel and Ardith presenting your melanoma research posters at the @uiowaicru undergraduate research festival. @UIowaResearch @UIowa_Surgery – at Iowa City, IA
