Suffolk's Kris Kyle discusses lab space innovation at Bisnow conference

The MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative (MIT HEALS) has announced the establishment of the Fairbairn Menstruation Science Fund, designed to revolutionize women’s health research. The fund will advance groundbreaking research from MIT BE Professor Linda Griffith (pictured) on the function of the human uterus and its impact on sex-based differences in human immunology that contribute to gynecological disorders such as endometriosis, as well as other chronic systemic inflammatory diseases that disproportionately affect women, such as Lyme disease and lupus. 📸: Gretchen Ertl https://lnkd.in/ewv99mPF

New Funding Alert! We are excited to receive a new grant from The National Institutes of Health National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR at NIH) Link: https://lnkd.in/eykbDg3Z The project addresses the unmet needs for Sjögrens disease (SjD) through the unique synthesis of 1)Microphysiological (MPS) on-chip analysis of epithelial-immune interactions for decoding autoimmune conditions, 2) Spatial multi-omics modeling of on-chip cell communication models, and 3) Clinical insights towards cell-based diagnosis (and potentially therapies) for SjD... The project is co-led by amazing physician-scientist Sara McCoy, marking our 3rd funded grant so far :) Stay tuned for our Spatial atlas of SjD and upcoming publications soon. This MPS salivary system is also designed and contributed by Dr. María Virumbrales Muñoz in this exciting autoimmune disease network project. Our SjD sub-team, comprising Zhou Fang, Samuel Dembowitz, Aileen He, and Ashritha Yellanki, is excited for this fruitful collaboration and new NIH support.

Every year, around 500,000 people in Germany receive a cancer diagnosis. What many don’t know: Up to 40% of these cases could be prevented with the right knowledge and action. 🧬 At the DKFZ Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, over 3,000 scientists are working to address this challenge, making DKFZ Germany’s largest biomedical research institute. Their current priorities include: - Understanding how nutrition affects cancer risk 🥦 - Developing therapies for children that are both effective and gentle 👧🧒 - Providing evidence-based answers to thousands of patients and families through the Cancer Information Service 📞📚 What sets DKFZ apart is their direct impact: translating scientific discoveries into real progress for people’s lives. 🤝 We’re proud to support DKFZ’s important work, which is closely linked to our purpose: To co-create living spheres for generations to come. #DKFZ #CancerResearch #CancerPrevention #BiomedicalResearch #PublicHealth #ResearchImpact #HealthInnovation #Innovation

🎥 Don’t miss this compelling interview with Dr. Ángel R. Nebreda, ICREA Professor and Group Leader of the Signalling and Cell Cycle Laboratory at IRB Barcelona—a globally recognized leader in cancer research👇 🔬 Gain insights into how his team investigates cellular signal transduction—uncovering how cells decode external cues to control critical processes like growth, differentiation, and survival, especially in the context of tumours. 🔍 Explore the pivotal role of the stress-activated p38 MAPK pathway, a central focus of Dr. Nebreda’s work, in maintaining cellular homeostasis and influencing cancer initiation and progression. 🧬 Through years of groundbreaking research, Dr. Nebreda has revealed how p38 MAPKs act as integrators of stress signals, shaping the fate of cancer cells and offering new therapeutic possibilities. 👉 Watch the full interview here ▶ https://lnkd.in/etcQ4H88 Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats, ICREA ICERCA - Centres de Recerca de Catalunya Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) SOMM Alliance Parc Científic de Barcelona #CancerResearch #CellSignalling #MAPK #IRBBarcelona #IRBScience #MeetOurScientists #Oncology #Research

Under the impeccable leadership of Prof. Costas G. Hadjipanayis , we are pleased to introduce the new open access Journal of Neuro-Oncology Discovery which will provide another platform for basic, translational, clinical, and interdisciplinary research in neuro-oncology. Prof.Costas Hadjipanayis is the Editor in Chief of this journal. The J Neuro-Oncology Discovery will serve as the sister journal to the well established and successful J Neuro-Oncology. Jason Sheehan and Springer Nature for making this happen! We are now accepting submissions! https://lnkd.in/dMg8aCgB

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤   This week marks National Science Week 2025, Australia’s annual celebration of science and technology. It's a time to recognise the remarkable impact of scientific discovery and the dedication of researchers who work tirelessly to improve our lives.   At Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, we’re proud to acknowledge the scientists whose expertise and commitment are driving progress in the understanding and treatment of cancer.   A key example of this innovation is the Arto Hardy Family Biomedical Innovation Hub, where multidisciplinary teams, led by Professor Jeremy Micah Crook, are pioneering new approaches to cancer care. By bringing together medical science, biology and engineering, the Hub fosters collaboration between researchers and clinicians to translate scientific breakthroughs into better outcomes for patients.   During National Science Week, we’re excited to shine a light on the important work happening within the Arto Hardy Family Biomedical Innovation Hub and to inspire continued curiosity and passion for scientific discovery.

🔬 Live Imaging Friday! In the Ferrer Torres Lab, we’re diving deep into how the human esophagus forms and what happens when it’s exposed to carcinogens, like those from acid reflux. Thanks to generous patient donations, we’ve developed methods to retain multiple cell populations from the esophagus. These cells are placed in a suspension system where they self-assemble into 3D mini human esophagus organoids, which we call esophagoids. Watching these esophagoids form in real time using live imaging is absolutely fascinating. It’s a testament to how far stem cell biology has come. We can now mimic organogenesis in a dish and ask critical questions about development and disease. What happens when these mini-organs are exposed to damage? How do they respond to carcinogens? These are the questions driving our research, and live imaging is helping us find answers. #Organoids #StemCellBiology #EsophagusResearch #LiveImaging #FerrerTorresLab #CUAnschutz #TranslationalScience #InnovationInMedicine

Introducing the “Medical World Model”, to appear at ICCV 2025! 🌺🏝️ We present the first visual world model in medicine, capable of visually predicting disease evolution under different treatment plans. By simulating disease progression and applying survival analysis, our system helps physicians explore and select optimal protocols — improving decision-making in interventional oncology by +13% F1-score compared to current practice. 📄 Paper: https://lnkd.in/eqaZNkk9 🌐 Project: https://lnkd.in/enptgkbz Huge thanks to my amazing collaborators Yijun Yang, Zhao-Yang Wang, Qiuping Liu, Shuwen Sun, Kang Wang, Rama Chellappa, Zongwei Zhou, Alan Yuille, Lei Zhu, and Yu-Dong Zhang.

Only a small portion of biomedical research is put into practice. At the Center for Methods in Implementation and Prevention Science at Yale School of Public Health, we’re working to change that. 📽️ In this video, I share how our team partnered with colleagues in Nepal to expand access to cervical cancer prevention—a leading cause of cancer deaths among women, yet largely preventable. 👉 Watch the video to see how CMIPS is turning research into action: [https://lnkd.in/dW7Ajmh4] 👏 We also celebrate Dr. Archana Shrestha’s promotion to Full Professor at Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences for her leadership in advancing global health and implementation science. 👉 Check out the full article here [https://lnkd.in/dDPYpA6R]
