As we reflect on the @moderna_tx adjuvant vaccine data I wanted to remind all @myESMO @sitcancer @ASCO the force that was Jeffrey W Weber @nyulangone - we will all feel his presence as data are presented. True mentor, leader, friend.

Missing the @AACR #PancreaticCancer meeting this year, but the past & present Maitra Lab presence is strong in San Diego. Proud of these guys! @FredrikThege @PeterYuMD @Vince_BernPag #AACRPanCa2026

Dr. @PeterYuMD @nyulangone presents KRAS ctDNA monitoring in patients receiving daraxonrasib, with a 45% reported RAS ctDNA clearance rate and NYU cohort data showing KRAS ctDNA was detected in 60% at baseline and 40% clearance on follow-up. The key question: Does early KRAS ctDNA clearance on daraxonrasib associate with clinical efficacy, including ORR and PFS? #DAVAGI #BermudaGI2026

Pulling out all the stops vs pancreatic cancer. The recent FDA-approved, celebrated drug daraxonrasib, increased median survival by 6.5 months @RevMedicines That's a positive step but clearly not enough. This new @Cancer_Cell paper lays out a path for more. cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltex…

It would be awesome to co-run a lab with another PI. I feel like there’s a lot of growth potential

1/ Grant-writing tips. This #tweetorial mainly applies to @NIH grants (particularly R01s) but some stuff may be applicable to other types of grants and funding agencies. Based on my experience writing grants for 20 yrs +lots of cringe-worthy missteps and rejections along the way!
