Ludwig Cancer
@Ludwig_Cancer
We fund cutting-edge scientific research across multiple Branches and Centers to better understand cancer and eliminate the suffering caused by the disease.
The May 2025 edition of the Ludwig Link is here! Catch up on the latest from Ludwig researchers, including awards, new leadership and a gallery of beautiful (and fascinating) micrographs. Check it out online here bit.ly/3Fo6LJR or download the PDF bit.ly/3Sq6Uze
Researchers led by Ludwig @unil’s Ping-Chih Ho, Xiaoyun Li & Sofie Hedlund Møller report that cancer cells secrete fats that prompt fibroblasts to flip macrophages into a pro-cancer state. Disrupting this process impairs growth in melanoma tumors in mice. bit.ly/3U5WYfj
Congrats to Ludwig @Princeton's Vanha Nhat Pham, who has been named the first Ludwig Cancer Research-Jane Coffin Childs Fellow. Pham plans to explore the roles molecular components of cell membranes known as phospholipids play in cellular physiology. bit.ly/463HJdQ
Ludwig @MIT’s @AmyWisdom8 sat down with us at the Center’s 2025 retreat to discusses her research on coaxing the immune system to target a deadly brain cancer and how collaboration has been essential to her studies. Check it out here: youtu.be/EyW9Fz4gG9c
At the Ludwig @MIT 2025 retreat, @fjsanchezrivera took us through his lab’s scientific focus and his journey in cancer research, including his years in the Ludwig MIT community as, initially, a trainee and now a principal investigator. youtu.be/BvMZ8ETu6sM
A team from UNIGE, CHUV and Ludwig Institute has discovered the unsuspected anti-tumour potential of a specific type of immune cell. @OncoUNILCHUV @Ludwig_Cancer #UNIGE #cancer #research ow.ly/whBj50WibeN
Ludwig @MIT Co-director Tyler Jacks spoke with us at the Center’s 2025 retreat about his career and how interdisciplinary collaboration fuels cancer research at Ludwig MIT. Check it out here: youtu.be/dHJgSbvCc5Y #CancerResearch #TeamScience

David MacMillan has been named Distinguished Scholar to the Ludwig Princeton Branch of @Ludwig_Cancer, opening a new chapter in cancer research for the @MacMillan_Lab. Announcement from @PrincetonChem: bit.ly/4kVBqxc
@Princeton, @RockefellerUniv, @WeillCornell, and @Ludwig_Cancer have united under the Weill Cancer Hub East, an innovative partnership that aims to transform cancer treatment. ow.ly/ZqBW50W52wt
The Ludwig community extends a warm welcome to our newest Distinguished Scholar David MacMillan, a recipient of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His scientific creativity will greatly enrich the @Princeton Branch’s exploration of cancer metabolism. bit.ly/4n02RYn
We recently attended the Ludwig @MIT retreat and caught up with many of our colleagues there. Here, founding Director, Ludwig Professor and giant of cancer research Robert Weinberg reflects on his scientific fascinations and career. youtu.be/UEDP2_RA6MI #CancerChat
In the May 2025 issue of the Ludwig Link we have a special treat for all enthusiasts of microscopic imaging: a gallery of arresting micrographs shared with us by cancer researchers from across the global Ludwig community. Check it out here: bit.ly/4jKV6D4
The newest member of the Ludwig @Princeton team, @lynchielydia, describes her research at the intersection of nutrition, immunity, and metabolism, and how she sees the field evolving. youtu.be/sWyNA7wqt_4
Dr Douglas Hanahan @Ludwig_Cancer #Lausanne receives Pezcoller Foundation Award @pezcoller at #AACR25 @AACR, accompanied by @AACR_CEO @DraettaG and @AACRPres. Beyond #cancerhallmarks, superb work in #angiogenesis and #immunology!
Researchers led by Ludwig @Princeton's @lynchielydia report that certain fats in ascites fluid—which accumulates as ovarian cancer spreads into the abdomen—sabotage anti-tumor immune responses and show how this effect might be blocked for immunotherapy. bit.ly/4jGuUtU
The AACR Annual Meeting begins today, and we’ve compiled a list of the presentations and posters by Ludwig researchers this year. Consider these excellent additions to your itinerary! #AACR25 bit.ly/4joGR7f
In an exciting collab between @Princeton @RockefellerUniv @WeillCornell and @Ludwig_Cancer to form a new cancer research hub focused on immunotherapy, Josh Rabinowitz of @PrincetonChem takes on a leadership role. Congratulations Josh! Announcement: bit.ly/42eA4pI
Congratulations to Ludwig @harvardmed's Rakesh Jain, recipient of the 2025 AACR Award for Lifetime Achievement in Cancer Research! Jain will be honored at the upcoming Annual Meeting in Chicago. bit.ly/3Egq1bv @AACR #AACR25
