So thrilled about #RadRes2022 Jack Little Legacy Plenary Lecture featuring 2019 Nobel Prize Laureate Bill Kaelin📢🔥

Also glad to snatch #Twitter selfie with @DKirschMDPhD who is introducing the speaker🤗

Dr Kaelin starting off with a few pearls of wisdom:

1️⃣ He advises that he actually does not have a PhD🙃

That is good news for some of us that this not a principal #physicianscientist career killer😁

(Though it probably does not hurt 😅)

2️⃣also, keep believing, and disregard predictions like this one from one of his prior advisors who questioned his career trajectory 😁 #NobelPrize

3️⃣Great #Mentorship is key⚠️

And did you know that he had his 1st poster at a @RRS_RadRes Meeting 4️⃣0️⃣ years ago❓️

And Herman Suit came by to look at it‼️

See, good things will happen when you start out at @RRS_RadRes ☢️📢👍🤩😄

What a wonderful Little Plenary Lecture🙏🙏🙏

Exploiting metabolic vulnerabilities in IDH mut gliomas to cause radiosensitization

Glutaminase inhibitor + #radiotherapy #clinicaltrial in IDH mut glioma ongoing in NCI CTEP

Shoutout to our @HarvardRadOnc resident Diana Shi who does amazing work in his lab
#RadRes2022
On a tangential note, @SorenBentzen came by my first ever #research poster back in 1994 (@ESTRO_RT Grenada Spain)😄🙏🙏🙏

🚨Delighted to do a quick #tweetorial on our short report in the💚#GreenJournal @RadiotherapyOn1

☢️Heterogeneous immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in #cancer patients receiving

Doctor, is the #radiotherapy I am getting affecting how well my #CovidVaccine works?

There is large heterogeneity when looking at immunogenicity of #COVID19 vaccines in #cancer patients & esp #lungcancer patients shown by @vivek_naranbhai & team in @JCO_ASCO

Chemo may suppress antibody levels somewhat.
What about #radiotherapy?

💊How to best combine targeted agents with #radiotherapy☢️

Biomarkers of clinical radioresistance. Great pleasure to have written this one with @max_diehn @michaelsbinkley Iris Eke @StanfordRadOnc🙏

As @SorenBentzen keeps saying, absolute radioresistance does not exist. You just have to up the dose💪

That is very different from drug response, which is a yes/no situation - where more drug does not give you typically a better response (with caveats 😉)

Tumors can have variable radioresistance. Lab & human data indicate that relationship between dose + tumor eradication is sigmoid🚨

Really high doses are prohibited by tolerance of normal tissue surrounding the tumor‼️

= Rationale for pursuing targeted radiosensitizers💡
