Researchers in @CoulterBME created a treatment that could one day unlock a universal strategy for treating some of the hardest-to-treat cancers — like those in the brain, breast, and colon — by teaching the immune system to see what it usually misses. b.gatech.edu/3H7bIqS

Georgia Tech engineers have what could be a universal strategy for hard-to-treat cancers: flagging tumors & teaching the immune system to see what it usually misses. In the lab, the therapy didn’t damage healthy tissue and it stopped cancer from returning. b.gatech.edu/4mnGV9e

Tumors are uncanny masters of disguise—evolved to outsmart immunity. Now out in @NatureCancer, our team engineered a flag🚩—what we call a synthetic antigen—to engage CAR T cells and kickstart antitumor immunity. More here👇🏼tinyurl.com/syntag1 1/
Behind this study is a phenomenal team of academic researchers at @CoulterBME @GeorgiaTech @Emory University that made it all happen.
It would not have been possible without the forward-thinking vision of @gabekwong, brought to life alongside @zamata5, our collaborators in the @PhilipJSantang1 lab, and the team at LSI: @ericlee920505 @elifku_ @chingshenchan @IdaFYSu @HPNoina @anirudhsiva9 @shreyasdahotre, @DaryllVanover, Chloé Thiveaud, Jane Zha, Noah Campbell, Sydney Fábrega, Abbey Oliver, Hannah Peck, Adrian Harris.

Awesome talk from lab alum @lenagamboa_ '15 on her PhD work on immunotherapy + synthetic biology with @gabekwong @CoulterBME
Proud of her scientific accomplishments and glad to see that she's a faculty candidate! @bmeUNITE @brownengin @BrownUCancer

We might need a bigger bus! #isbus Thanks to everyone joining us for the inaugural meeting on Biomolecular Ultrasound and Sonogenetics @getontheISBUS @Caltech.
Such a great idea, and a way to make sure no vaccine goes to waste!
To all 7 of my followers: Ian Macartney and I have been building a way to know when nearby leftover vaccines need to be used immediately. vaxstandby.com

AT 10 years I think we can say our first CAR T patient is cured.
#OTD celebrating 10 years since 1st CAR19 #Tcell infusion @PennMedicine We thank all patient #Heroes for volunteering to advance #cancer #Immunotherapy 🙏🦸♂️🦸♀️nytimes.com/2011/09/13/healt…
congrats to @SELeggett on wrapping up her PhD with such an awesome paper!
Ian Wong's lab has developed a new technique for mapping the forces that clusters of cells exert on their surroundings could be useful for studying everything from tissue development to cancer metastasis.

Successful start into this year's #synthims2019 in beautiful Ascona, Switzerland @MONTEVERITA_ on Systems and synthetic #Immunology.
