Cancer research investigator at Harvard Medical School; Co-director Ludwig Center at Harvard. Outside work love family, friends, tennis, scuba diving & cooking.
This interview from the Soledad O'Brien Show captures some of the issues for women's health and our lab's cancer research affected by the termination of federal grants at Harvard and elsewhere youtube.com/watch?v=dtjZPt… @harvardmed @AACR
My two NIH cancer research grants were terminated today. One involving breast cancer prevention is an “outstanding investigator award” and had received a perfect score by reviewers. How does ending lifesaving cancer research make Americans healthier? @harvardmed @aacr
Our latest paper with Joan @BruggeMe is now out @NatureGenetics! We explore hidden mechanisms of BRCA1 hereditary breast cancer using new mouse models, revealing unexpected tumor-like chromatin changes in Brca1-heterozygous normal mammary cells. nature.com/articles/s4158…
We have an opening for a senior bioinformatics experts to work on two exciting projects relating to breast tumor evolution/prevention and ovarian cancer drug resistance. Highly collaborative group. Job ad: shorturl.at/cgjoD. #cancerresearch #Bioinformatics #cancertherapy
Excited to share this Dev Cell report that defines subpopulations of breast cells and their links with age, parity, and risk of breast cancer. Great collaborative effort within the lab and with collaborators. authors.elsevier.com/a/1f8455Sx5gq6…
Congratulations to Johan Kuiken and Sabin Dhakal and our collaborators on the publication of "Clonal populations of a human TNBC model display significant functional heterogeneity and divergent growth dynamics in distinct contexts"Oncogene rdcu.be/cz6az #cancerresearch
Congratulations to Yaara Oren, an exceptional postdoctoral fellow, for orchestrating this study on mechanisms underlying cycling cancer therapy persisters in @Nature Great collaboration between the Regev and Brugge labs. #avivregev #cancertherapy nature.com/articles/s4158…
Exciting opportunity! We are seeking a highly motivated Research Associate with knowledge in bioinformatics using Python or R to analyze a variety of -omics data to understand tumor evolution and drug resistance. Please share and RT. Here’s the link: indeed.com/job/bioinforma…
Suha Naffer-Abu Amara, the lead investigator of this project in our lab did a great job in not only identifying the cooperative interclonal interactions, but also elucidating the underlying mechanism of cooperation.
A team led by Ludwig Harvard's Joan Brugge describe in a new Nature Communications study a transient, cooperative interaction between ovarian cancer cells that is essential to metastasis. go.nature.com/2JsQDda
Exciting opportunity! Seeking a highly motivated Research Associate with knowledge in computational image analysis using Matlab or Python to perform multi-plex image analyses to identify early changes during initiation of tumorigenesis. Please share and RT bit.ly/2DIsv3b
My first ever tweet: Thanks to the wonderful group of Brugge lab alum who came to the reunion this weekend. It was the greatest event of my career and I will cherish the memories the rest of my life. You have all enriched my life enormously! @BruggeMe
