- This month’s imaginative @Cancer_Cell cover: The Monkey King (NK cells) recognizes & tries to kill the White Bone Demon (CTCs), who is disguised as a girl. However, the White Bone Demon pretends to be innocent & convinces Tripitaka (platelets) & Pigsy (HLA-E) to protect it.

- 🤠 👉🏽 🗽 news: I will be joining @nyulangone on September 1, 2025 as Director of the GI Cancer Center & Associate Director of Translational Research at @Perlmutter_CC. I am excited to start the next chapter of the Maitra Lab in NYC & build a strong GI cancer research program.
