1/ 🚨 Excited to share our latest publication in Pathology! We explored the role of tumour necrosis as a prognostic factor in vulvar and vaginal melanomas (VVMs) and recommend that this be reported in synoptic surgical pathology templates to help refine staging.

Practical tips for starting a biomedical research lab! Group effort with Irving Cancer Immunology Symposium attendees, co-led with @amycfanphd. Thanks Nir for bringing us together.

Roy et al. posit that scientific independence alone is insufficient to build a sustainable lab under uncertain funding & offer practical guidance for defining a research vision, allocating resources, navigating funding opportunities & supporting trainees hubs.la/Q04zV5DW0

WNT-activated melanocytoma with background melanocytic nevus. You don't always get such a good beta-catenin staining, got lucky over here. These often are concerning clinically due to the heterogenous pigmentation. #dermpath

Wedge-shaped compound melanocytic lesion

A central portion shows larger, pigmented melanocytes with dusty cytoplasm and a pigment grid/checkerboard pattern (Arnaud's trick) of melanophages

Beta-catenin staining nuclei of that same area while not labelling the background nevus (lower left)

Chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis! You don't always see the "textbook" cartilage alterations. #dermpath

One of the smartest and kindest clinician-scientists I know is hiring two postdocs (one computational, one wet lab) here at Yale. Epigenetics and cancer immunology focused work!
