Congratulations to Mary-Ellen Taplin, MD, recipient of the 2026 PCF Women in Science Lifetime Achievement Award.
She asked in 1995 why prostate cancer stops responding to hormone therapy, then spent decades turning that answer into standard care.

Grateful to have been selected to attend the πππ¨ππ£π ππ©ππ§π¨ ππ«ππ§ π©ππ ππ€ππ πππ¨ conference at @CUCancerCenter, bringing together K-awardees navigating the leap to independent research. Great insights, great people, great collaborations ahead.
Thrilled to share I've received the NIH/NCI K99/R00 Award!
Deeply grateful to my mentor @mishabeltran for her immense support, my advisory committee and referees, and to @PCF_Science and DoD for early funding that made this possible.
Big shoutout to Precious Onyeagoro (#WorkforceDevelopment) and Nehemiah Costello (#CURE), two outstanding students I had the pleasure of co-mentoring with @mishabeltran this summer in the #BeltranLab at @DanaFarber. Excited to see where your scientific journeys take you next.

Congratulations to @Bajji on an NCI K99/R00 award for research in @mishabeltran's lab at @DanaFarber investigating the epigenetic drivers of treatment resistance in neuroendocrine prostate cancer, an aggressive disease with no approved targeted therapies. β‘οΈbit.ly/3TtYRp0
Excited to share our new πππ©πͺπ§π πΎπ€π’π’πͺπ£ππππ©ππ€π£π¨ paper (collab b/w the @mishabeltran and @RickmanLab labs) revealing how Polycomb and DNA methylation cooperate to drive lineage plasticity in #ProstateCancer. Co-led with @Richa2807Singh.

PROX1 explored as a driver of neuroendocrine #ProstateCancer progression. @Bajji @DanaFarber joins @AndreaMiyahira @PCFnews in discussing #PROX1 as an epigenetically derepressed driver in neuroendocrine prostate cancer. #WatchNow on UroToday > bit.ly/47kzVEk

Excited to share our new paper @NatureComms in collaboration with @RickmanLab, led by #RichaSingh @WeillCornell and @Bajji @DanaFarber #BeltranLab
New research published in @NatureComms provides critical mechanistic insights into how prostate cancer becomes resistant to treatment, uncovering how two key epigenetic mechanisms - DNA methylation and EZH2 activity - work together to drive transformation to a more aggressive form of the disease, neuroendocrine prostate cancer. @DanaFarber @bajji @mishabeltran

I shared work from the #BeltranLab on epigenetic mechanisms of lineage plasticity in advanced prostate cancer.
Delighted to be invited to speak at the @DFCI_PGA Brain Lunch Seminar Series last week.
Presented our latest work from the @mishabeltran lab on epigenetic mechanisms of lineage plasticity in treatment-resistant prostate cancer.
Big thanks to the organizers for the invitation.

A massive congratulations to two of our faculty members, Himisha Beltran (@mishabeltran) & Joaquim Bellmunt (@OncoBellmunt), who were promoted to Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School in December!
Many thanks to my mentor, @mishabeltran, for the opportunity to share the stage with my friend and colleague,@mkbakht, and present some of our latest unpublished work at the @DanaFarber Division of Molecular and Cellular Oncology Retreat 2025.

Futuristic therapy for prostate cancer.
The sad prostate cancer cell is bombarded with combinatorial therapies.

Honored to receive the Michael O. Koch Award for Early Career Scholars at the Indiana University GU Cancer Symposium!
A huge thank you to @ClintCaryMD and @asmaakenawy for the invitation to present my work in the #BeltranLab. It was a privilege to meet Dr. Michael Koch himself!
I really enjoyed co-mentoring Arianny Mordan this summer, a talented student from the Workforce Development Program @DanaFarber. She gifted me a mug, but Iβm too embarrassed to use it!
Excited to see all youβll accomplish, Arianny!
Thanks to @mishabeltran for the support.
Thank you for the invitation to present, @PathfinderDFHCC!
Excited to discuss our recent work published in @CR_AACR at this 'micro' journal club where I'll summarize the paper in < 10 min, followed by a discussion.
Open to all. Register if interested!
