Inspired by 12y/o patient Avery Lafferty, @ranjitbindra + his team developed KL-50, a novel new #glioblastoma therapy. Now acquired by @Merck, KL-50 is advancing through FDA safety studies, w/hopes for a Phase I trial next fall. medicine.yale.edu/cancer/new… @SmilowCancer @YaleNeuro

This story highlights how academic discovery can become real therapeutic promise through biotech innovation and pharma partnership. For brain tumors, where progress has been far too slow, it shows what is possible when science is allowed to move forward. medicine.yale.edu/news-artic…

Our star postdoc presenting at #ASH25!
~25–30% of #AML has MGMT silencing—a targetable vulnerability. New research presented by @Prateek_Bhardwj identifies KL50, a novel crosslinking compound, as highly potent in MGMT-silenced AML. The data shared #ASH25 strongly supports MGMT-guided clinical trials of KL50. @Halene_lab @ranjitbindra @YaleHematology @ASH_hematology
