Congratulations Peter well deserved!!
Incredibly honored and humbled to receive this award, thank you @AACR & @GSKUS! The generous 1-year term is unique and could not have come at a better time, now we dive deeply into the spatial biology of malignant progression of CRC, in rare human samples and new mouse models!

A year ago today I first posted a tweet a day for the month of December about how, despite the many issues, a life in science is impactful and fun. Here's a reposting of short essay about the many good things to remind ourselves & encourage others
Being in science has its real challenges to address, but also lots of good. Keep balanced and remind yourself of the great sides of this career. The good side of science: why I tweeted 31 reasons to love your career nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of my lab! While there have been many ups and downs along the way I wouldn’t trade this career as a PI for anything. So we celebrated with a day off @PopstrokeGolf!!

A must read for those interested in antigen presentation!
Ever wondered how MHC-associated tumor antigens can be analyzed by mass spectrometry to target cancer? Check out our new review: authors.elsevier.com/c/1geGD…

Congratulations! An excellent study with far reaching implications.
So excited & grateful to share our highly collaborative ~7-yr study @NatureCancer delineating how the plant sugar L-fucose stimulates CD4+T cell-mediated antimelanoma immune responses. What a humbling way to start the Lunar New Year! @MoffittNews (1/10)

The antigen landscape in cancer is dynamic, maluable, & easily influenced by it's environment. By treating cancer cells with common drugs, we can manipulate both the IDENTITY & DENSITY of epitopes presented, & use those changes to our advantage💪 pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna… @PNASNews
