Wrapping up the semester with the beautiful sound of Dr. Kareem Azab playing piano in his lab! What a way to start the summer! #UTSW #Cancerbiology #biomedical_engineering
Great day for CRI's @HijaiShin, who received $250K from @CPRITTexas to fund her #relentlessdiscovery "mapping and disabling unique lipid signaling and metabolic pathways that fuel glioblastoma." Read more ⬇️ #cancertreatment
BREAKING NEWS: #CPRIT approved $93 million in grants to advance the fight against cancer, including recruitment grants, evidence-based prevention programs, and funding for companies developing new treatments for cancer. #TexansConquerCancer READ: cprit.texas.gov/news-events/ar…
Excited to share our review on metabolic adaptations in brain metastasis in @NatureRevCancer!! 👉rdcu.be/exHzY A pleasure to co-write with Pravat @CMTLab_IISERBPR and appreciate the support Daniela @DaniS2911 @utswcancer @UTSWCancerBio @UTSW_Pathology @UTSWMedCenter
Justin Engel, a Ph.D. candidate recently honored with the 2025 Nominata Award! UTSW’s highest graduate student recognition,is uncovering why and how cancer cells undergo catastrophic chromosome damage. Join us in congratulating Justin on this achievement: bit.ly/4kvD8EL
I am happy to share our latest study. Congrats to postdoc Shayna Thomas-Jardin on her outstanding work published in @CR_AACR aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti…
Happy 4th of July from Tia, our beloved facility dog, and all of us at Simmons Cancer Center!
In a new study led by Todd Aguilera, M.D., Ph.D., researchers found that patients who had high-dose radiation with chemotherapy before surgery to remove pancreatic tumors showed better response to treatment than those who were not treated with radiation. bit.ly/46n9eiy

Today's #thursdaymotivation is courtesy CRI's @Zhu_Lab: Congrats @GiannaMaggiore for your successful #dissertationdefense! Dr. Maggiore's family and lab mates joined to celebrate. Next steps: summertime fun & finishing her M.D. @UTSWMedCenter 🎉 #relentlessdiscovery
.@bsabari and fellow #UTSW researchers uncovered how gene fusions form biomolecular condensates that drive aggressive kidney cancers. Published in @CellCellPress, the findings suggest new treatment options and may hold promise for other types of cancer. bit.ly/4jDkmej
On this Memorial Day, we pause to honor the heroes who gave everything for our freedom. Their courage, sacrifice, and legacy live on in every heartbeat of this nation. We remember. We are grateful. #MemorialDay
June 23, 2025, for the first-ever VROC #Symposium! A dynamic day of cross-disciplinary collaboration with expert speakers—open to oncologists, veterinarians, researchers, students & more. CME credit available. For more information or to register:cvent.me/V9L888.
Now online @CCR_AACR : Preop SAbR in #PancreaticCancer is associated with locoregional control—especially with arterial involvement—and reveals immune activation. Peter Leung was outstanding leading this to pub! #RadOnc @utswcancer @UTSWNews bit.ly/457oz6b
Congratulations to #UTSW biochemist Zhijian "James" Chen, Ph.D., on being elected to the Fellowship of The @royalsociety, the UK’s national academy of sciences and the oldest active scientific academy, for his groundbreaking work in innate immunity. bit.ly/3SIcVY3
Our very own Justin Engel (@JustinEngel17) received the 2025 Nominata Award, the highest honor for a grad student at @UTSWMedCenter. He also received the Kirkpatrick Prize, which is given to the student with the most meritorious NIH NRSA proposal. Congrats Justin!! @UTSWCancerBio
Non-selective β-Adrenergic Receptor Inhibitors Impair Hematopoietic Regeneration in Mice and Humans After Hematopoietic Cell Transplants brnw.ch/21wSlrO By Jinsuke Nishino, @huwenhuo, @AshKishtagari, @StephenChung16, @SJMorrison_ and colleagues. @UTSWMedCenter @CRI_UTSW
An FDA-designated orphan drug found by #UTSW researchers shows promise in improving radiation treatment efficacy in lung cancer by targeting a metabolic pathway that impairs cancer cells’ ability to repair DNA, according to a new study in @ScienceAdvances. bit.ly/44PQw2m
Thank you to all who joined us @PanCANDFW’s Purple Stride walk! We were a proud sponsor, had our largest team to date, & were recognized as the top fundraiser. It was a great day to raise awareness & take strides to end #PancreaticCancer. @aguilera_md @NiuSanford @PatricioPolanc0
