Practical tips for starting a biomedical research lab! Group effort with Irving Cancer Immunology Symposium attendees, co-led with @amycfanphd. Thanks Nir for bringing us together.
Roy et al. posit that scientific independence alone is insufficient to build a sustainable lab under uncertain funding & offer practical guidance for defining a research vision, allocating resources, navigating funding opportunities & supporting trainees hubs.la/Q04zV5DW0

Let’s make a series 😂 You know you’re a pathologist when you try to equate every lesion with food 😛

Exploring the intersection of clinical oncology, structural imaging and digital pathology Sixtus Onyima, MBBS, MSc Candidate in Systems Biology at Vilnius University in Lithuania, is investigating how advanced microscopy techniques can improve our understanding of liver cancer. His research examines collagen fiber orientation as a potential prognostic biomarker, with a focus on how computational tools can enhance diagnostic accuracy and expand access to specialized expertise. Originally from Nigeria, Sixtus brings a global perspective and a commitment to making scientific innovation more accessible in resource-limited healthcare settings. We’re proud to welcome Sixtus to #PathVisions26 as a Travel Award recipient! See more: bit.ly/4yNnIUf

Dedifferentiated and undifferentiated melanomas remain underrecognized with significant treatment implications - @aubre_gilbert shows that PD-L1 can provide a useful diagnostic hint (not just a predictive marker!). @StanfordPath @JHUPath
New in #HumPathol: Sarcomatoid malignancies with strong PD-L1 expression often represent dedifferentiated or undifferentiated melanomas. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #pathology #PathTwitter #PathX #BSTpath
