New lab photo!! Standing offer for Dr. Biden to join our lab- she did love the views!!! Unforgettable experience to have @FLOTUS visit our lab, learn about tumor dormancy, and how we want to prevent metastasis and develop new curative approaches via @FredHutch_Met_X

💡 What sets the size of a germinal center? — why lymphatics of course 😉
Our new study with Carla Nowosad reveals how lymphatic remodeling constrains germinal center growth and shapes the quality of the antibody response. @ImmunityCP @nyugrossman

Our newest study asks how far cellular reprogramming extends in the ordinary course of animal life. Metamorphosis offers the test of maximal severity: the wholesale conversion of one body plan into another. Out now in Nature Communications.

Incredibly excited to share the first major paper from my lab @carnevale_lab led by postdoc Qi Liu @GladstoneInst @UCSF executing the first ever genome-wide in vivo screens for genetic modifications to enhance human T cell therapies for solid tumors. Now in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Ladies and gentleman, debut paper from the superstar lab of Shivani Srivastava…
Excited to share our lab’s latest work in @SciImmunology, examining how CAR-T cells bypass the niches that normally support stem-like subsets in vivo and how this influences their sensitivity to checkpoint blockade.

Last night Adam Kampff, the glue, the light, the catalyst, the builder, the smile, left us. He and his work transformed the lives of many labs, scientists, students. He kept inspiring and being generous until his last transformation, and worked tirelessly to set up a foundation to continue the work. He once said when moving from Lisbon to London "I am not leaving, I am just spreading the good work further". Thank you Adam! Thank you!

Too many men die of prostate cancer. We miss you John. We discovered a new way of attacking androgen receptor driven prostate cancers that will lead to new therapeutics. This was a wonderful collaboration with @li_haolong and Felix Feng (rest in peace).
