Many congratulations Segun @OJAfolaranmi getting this important work out. Funding for cancer research is everyone so important!! @AORTIC_AFRICA @NCICancerCtrl @WiscSurgery @UWCarbone #globalonc @globaloncology
Glad to see this important work out in @CommsMedicine @NaturePortfolio We provide a comprehensive overview of the cancer research funding landscape in Africa with critical calls to action, especially as global funding priorities change. rdcu.be/evjXf @NabeelZafarMD
🧵1/ T cells have deservedly been in the🔦for #cancer #immunotherapy, but other engineered cell therapies are now📈. What mediates NK cell exhaustion remains an important unanswered❓. 📄Link: nature.com/articles/s4158… I’m so thrilled🥳to share our work out now🚨@Nature…
Our new #preprint on NK cell engineering is out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Using #CRISPR activation screens, we found a programmable mechanism to mobilize NK cells to breast cancer tumors by engineering these cells to express orphan and metabolite-sensing receptors. (1/11) The…
We are excited to welcome our next incoming general surgery residents! Welcome to the Mayo family! #gensurgmatch2025 #mayo #youlooklikeasurgeon #leftglovefirst
We are going to Mayo Clinic!!!! My husband and I have ‘couples matched’ to General surgery and Emergency Medicine programs at @MayoClinic From UCH/LUTH Nigeria, the journey was arduous but we succeeded! @mayoclinicemres @emresidents @MayoSurgery #Match2025
Deeply grateful to have couples matched #GenSurg #EM with the absolute LOML @Anthoniabc. Impossible journey without the support of our mentors and family! Looking forward to see where we end up.
Adupe 🙏🏾. #match2025

ICYMI: In our latest episode, Segun, @OJAfolaranmi talks about how his passion for research was forged and shaped through a range of experiences, including the clinical rounds, conferences, and competitions he participated in during his medical training. #immunology #cancer
It’s been an incredible journey: from medical school at the University of Ibadan, to a PhD at Oxford, residency at Northwestern, and now, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve matched at Harvard/Mass General for my cardiology fellowship! #Match2025
As PGY-2 comes to a close, I thank God for this journey and look forward to the next chapter.

Could enhancing immune cells help them deliver a ‘kiss of death’ to cancer? @OJAfolaranmi hopes to achieve this with his PhD @CRUK_CI @Gates_Cambridge. He also co-founded @theganglion to provide mentorship for young people. #ChangingTheStoryOfCancer cam.ac.uk/stories/change…
The de la Roche group (@delaroche_cruk) have developed "superkiller" CAR-T cells targeting a protein in colorectal & liver cancers. Funding from @UCamEnterprise and @CR_Horizons will test its effectiveness in preparation for clinical trials. 👉cruk.cam.ac.uk/maike-de-la-ro…
