The Sarosiek Lab @HarvardChanSPH studies the regulation of #apoptosis in human development and diseases.

Boston, MA
Senescent cells are beautiful monsters! What controls their entrance into this process? Seamus Martin, Aislinn Gallagher et al identify apoptotic proteins as guardians

Congrats Monica, Judith and team! We were so glad to contribute to this work, which has wide-reaching implications for how we treat cancers. Looking forward to continuing the collaboration and overcoming this resistance.
Metastasis kills most cancer patients and grows from invisible seeds. How do these seeds escape from attack by immune cells? These seeds harness stress hormones!🤯 ⁦thanks to ⁦@nyscf⁩ ⁦@parkerici⁩ for their support. Today at ⁦@Nature⁩ nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

My daughter is in an MSTP program, so I hear about the challenges firsthand: the long hours, the uncertainty, the pressure. To all our early career scientists, I want you to know that what you're doing matters. Your perseverance today becomes tomorrow's treatments. Keep going.

The 2025 Young Investigator Summit brought childhood cancer researchers together to discuss the future of their work in a changing landscape. These Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation-funded scientists receive YI Grants early in their careers, a critical time to establish research projects that will hopefully lead to more cures for kids in the long term. Thanks to all researchers and staff who attended and to @NM_Financial for sponsoring this year's YI Summit!
