Science is better when we work together. Such a treat to host the amazing scientists from @VitanzaNick Lab, and hope to do this more! All are welcome
Grateful for the hospitality of @CHOPCancerCntr this week as the @FosterJb Lab hosted 3 of our scientists. Learning new techniques & strengthening collaborations. Look forward to visiting @ChildrensPhila myself in a few days. #EndDIPG #StrongerTogether
Beyond thrilled for you Katí @kkariko!! This is so incredibly well deserved, I haven’t been able to stop smiling all day
“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.”
Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges.
Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.
Listen now:
Foster lab happy hour! (minus a few)
Would love to do this with some other labs- message me if interested, barcade.com/fishtown/ is next
I joined the CHOP Cancer Crushers in the Parkway Run & Walk presented by Citadel on 9/24. Every dollar we raise will fuel breakthrough cancer research & care at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Can't make it? Consider making a donation chop.donordrive.com/index.cf… #ParkwayRun
And shout out to @bryson_stott10 who has been sporting childhood cancer awareness gear all September. You rock. Go @Phillies!
Celebrated a legend last night: @kkariko Beyond honored to be her guest. Hoping to emulate her dedication and also change the world one mRNA at a time.
Amazing as always to hear the incredible @LisaWardspeakup speak today at the White House. Honored to have been invited to join the BrainStorm Summit and @CureFestUSA . For all of the patients out there, past present and future, we won’t stop
Thank you @CHOPCancerCntr for all your support, thrilled to be starting as an assistant professor in July! Foster lab is hiring- message me if interested in joining an amazing team doing some incredible work
In recognition of #BrainTumorAwarenessMonth, @CHOP_Research highlights the work of our Dr. Jessica Foster, who spends 80% of her time in the lab investigating CAR T-cell therapy for brain tumors. Learn more in this recent Cornerstone blog Q&A. bit.ly/38VFHRL

HUGE thank you @livlikeaunicorn!! Let’s do this #DMG
This weekend we were able to announce our next research grant to @ChildrensPhila and @FosterJb for developing CAR-T for DMG patients.
Incredible work by @yarmo111 and the Maris lab - looking foward to doing this for pediatric brain tumors!

Hahaha looks like me... The message: please always wear lab coat and safety googles!
Nice to see mRNA pioneer Katalin Kariko at the #morrisarboretum scarecrow walk, which this year’s theme is heroes. Other notable ones: “Pandemic Mom,” “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s super nurse!”
The Foster lab is hiring! Come join an exciting, energetic lab at an amazing institution exploring CAR T cells for pediatric brain tumors #CART #pediatriccancer #braintumors careers.chop.edu/job/Philade…
Thank you @OncologyTimes and @CHOPCancerCntr for your support! Lots of exciting work on the horizon #pediatriccancer #pediatricbraintumors #CART
