I'm wildly proud to share our FIRST Weber Lab paper, out today in @Nature! I want to share a story about how this whirlwind of a project came together. A 🧵 on teamwork, open science, and how far we can go when we intentionally build a culture of trust in research. 1/

Memory genes are enriched in CAR T cells that persist and control tumors in patients. But which transcription factors drive beneficial memory programs?

We answer this in our lab’s first paper in @Nature led by @alexdoan96 @kpmueller1 @andy_yhchen. 1/

Congratulations to Dan Pham for her paper published today! Dan showed that autofluorescence lifetime imaging can monitor single cell metabolism to improve CAR T cell metabolic fitness. @sahakris @UWCarbone @Morgridge_Inst @UWMadEngr

This is terrifying, heartbreaking, infuriating.

There are days in life that shake you.

I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

Thanks for the shout out, Evan! I'm so honored to work with @CancerResearch, and psyched to get started on these experiments!

Evan Weber @EvanWeberPhD Feb 13, 2025

Congrats to our talented postdoc @kpmueller1 on receiving this prestigious and competitive @CancerResearch award! Big things to come!
