Brilliant work. Necrosis is no longer just a non-specific process but active and NET pro-metastatic…
Proud to share @niseto’s (new PI @TheCrick) paper: As a postdoc (@CSHL/@HopkinsMedicine), he found #NETs in necrotic tumors—I shrugged. But he looked closer: NETs block tumor vessel perfusion, causing necrosis, hypoxia, EMT & #Metastasis. nature.com/articles/s4158… @JHU_BDP @Nature
For this week’s #MRFResearchWednesday, we’re spotlighting 2025 Medical Student Grant Awardee @Zwalsh96 of @ColumbiaMed, working in the Izar Lab, with @BizarMd. His project, “Leveraging T Cell Genetic Variants to Enhance Melanoma Immunotherapies,” explores new ways to improve…
Now online! Scalable generation and functional classification of genetic variants in inborn errors of immunity to accelerate clinical diagnosis and treatment dlvr.it/TLT5Xf
Thrilled to share the latest work from my PhD in the @BizarMd group! This has been a dream MD/PhD project, culminating in data that has already enabled access to precision therapy for a patient. Tweetorial below:
Excited to share a new paper: tinyurl.com/49u5e6by @CellCellPress: a framework to accelerate variant classification, diagnosis & treatment of immune disorders & genetic disorders more broadly. Led by superstar, juggernaut & future dermatologist @zwalsh96
Congrats, Neil! We will miss you at Columbia but happy for you! Great opportunity for your outstanding work.
I am thrilled to have joined @nyulangone @Perlmutter_CC on May 1, 2025 as Assistant Professor and Director of Translational Research in Breast Cancer. Excited to launch the next chapter of our lab’s work in NYC and accelerate impact for patients with breast cancer.
Proud of you, @zwalsh96. Thank you @ClinImmSoc for recognizing your boundless talent and inviting you to give a major talk. What an incredible achievement. Excited for the next chapter in your work (well, I kinda know, so even more excited!)
Truly amazing experience to get to present our variant reclassification work at the opening plenary session of @ClinImmSoc 2025. Couldn’t have asked for a better audience for this work, as evidenced by so many insightful questions and conversations!
It was a tremendous honor to receive this important Award on behalf of my laboratory. Thank you @the_asci

Congrats Emily and Elena!! Beautiful study that’s really foundational to neural-like states in metastasis
🎉 Excited to share the latest work from our lab uncovering an unappreciated role for the SWI/SNF PBAF complex at repressive chromatin🧬 Led by @ElenaGrossi8 and now published @MolecularCell cell.com/molecular-cell…
