At TGen, part of @cityofhope.bsky.social , we are working to bring life-changing solutions directly to the patient's bedside.
We are committed to #precisionmedicine. We want to help patients receive personalized care - the right care, for the right patient, at the right time.
I'm excited to share that I will be participating in the @sitcancer.bsky.social Sparkathon program, class of 2026. I'm looking forward to connecting with the class and the organizers at the Spring Scientific in Tucson! @tgenresearch.bsky.social
#ASH25 kicks off tomorrow in Orlando, FL ☀️
If attending, be sure to check out two of our #Hematology research leaders, Drs. Jonathan Keats @pedalheadphx.bsky.social and Joseph Mikhael, on Monday, Dec. 8.

Our very own Dr. Mikhael is showing off his impressive badge and ribbons! Excited for #ASH25
Congratulations to TGen - Part of City of Hope clinical professor, Vinodh Narayanan, M.D., on receiving the Roger and Mary Brumback Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Child Neurology Society Meeting.

Great presentations from the lab this week at #ashg25.
For #postdoc appreciation week, we sat down with Dr. Aya Kamzinain the Division of Early Detection and Prevention at TGen, to learn more about her work and role as a postdoc. Full blog at bit.ly/48jnkT6

Interesting @nebanovich.bsky.social @florisbarthel.bsky.social glad we just installed an @elembio.bsky.social Aviti24 @tgenresearch.bsky.social. @aphillippy.bsky.social is this with standard cloudbreak chemistry or the high accuracy ultraQ chemistry
Researchers have identified 2 proteins that could serve as new biomarkers for #pancreatic #cancer. These protein markers can help distinguish cancer from non-cancer and track how patients are responding to treatment. This offers a new direction for the early detection & monitoring. bit.ly/4mbboX0
Yesterday was the last day of @tgenresearch.bsky.social's summer internship supported by the Helios foundation. Bittersweet to say goodbye but happy to see them presenting their great work. Special congrats to Francesca, Lauren, and Yafnelt who were recognized for their outstanding presentations.
Breakthrough news in the fight against lung cancer! 🚨 A new study shows how molecules from a patient's own immune cells (natural killer cells) could reawaken the body's defenses to combat tough tumors for hard-to-treat lung cancers; harnessing the body's own natural killer cells to fight back.
Building the evidence base for engaging all populations in genomics research is key for Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing Network (PE-CGS). The newest paper introduces a new framework & strategies for involving community members in #cancer #genomics #research. lnkd.in/gjj-WQ8n
But not all mutations block all anti-BCMA therapies from binding and we at @tgenresearch.bsky.social and @cityofhope.bsky.social are integrating the known binding of these agents into our whole genome sequencing reports to ensure patients get the therapy that will work best for them at that point
ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/... considering the patient population this is extremely impressive, 1/3 of patients progression free at 5 years, glad to have @cityofhope.bsky.social physician Dr. Myo Htut as one of the coauthors. I for one believe cures are possible in #myeloma @tgenresearch.bsky.social
TGen scientists have found a new weakness in a rare ovarian cancer that might help us treat it better. This could mean new and improved treatments are on the way, even for cancers that were hard to treat before. More at www.tgen.org/news/study-r.... #OvarianCancer #Research
2/2This study is a big step towards:
💡 Understanding liver disease better, especially in people who might not seem at risk
🔍 Catching problems earlier and helps prevent serious health problems in the future - Such as Liver Cancer, Liver Failure, Cirrhosis, and other related diseases like diabetes.
Liver disease can affect anyone, not just those who are overweight 🤔 A Study found that even healthy-weight people can have fat in their liver, & it might be because of their genes. Learning about these genes can help doctors figure out who's at risk & improve care for everyone.

Congratulations to Daniel D. Von Hoff, M.D., F.A.C.P., distinguished professor at TGen and @cityofhope.bsky.social, on being recognized at the #AACR25 Partners in Progress Reception for his immeasurable contributions to AACR, cancer research and patient care!
🧬 Today is National DNA Day 🧬
We wouldn't be where we are today without the hard work of Friedrich Miescher (1869) and Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick (1953). Thanks to their contributions, the foundation of genetics and genomic sciences is strong.
TGen is proud to present at the 2025 @theaacr.bsky.social Annual Meeting.
Be sure to stop by the @cityofhope.bsky.social and TGen booth at the Exhibit Hall from April 27 - 30.

💡Remarkable Research💡The #MindCrowd mobile lab is a unique research project bringing the lab to the community. Research can be scary & hard to find the time to participate, so the MindCrowd team goes to communities allowing individuals to be a part of brain research. More at tgen.org/mindcrowd 🧠
Great work on whole genome assembly using @nanoporetech.com and @pacbio.bsky.social sequencing @tgenresearch.bsky.social part of @cityofhope.bsky.social

💡 "Good researchers and leaders figure out the right questions to ask." 💡Meet Dr. @heinimnatri.bsky.social, Research Assistant Professor. She shares insights on team science, mentorship, & her recent breakthrough in glioblastoma research—helping pave the way for new clinical trials in CAR T therapy.
🫁 Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating disease with no cure—only a lung transplant. But new research from TGen, uncovers hidden disease markers in seemingly healthy lung tissue using advanced spatial transcriptomics.🎙️ TGen Talks w/@nebanovich.bsky.social breaks it down at www.tgen.org/tgen-talks/
