🚨 #NewPublicationAlert 🚨
Thrilled to share our lab’s first paper in #AdvancedTherapeutics @AdvPortfolio — led by Jordan! 🎉
We explored how STING agonists can boost chemo efficacy against Osteosarcoma.

#OsteosarcomaResearch
#ChildhoodCancerMonth🎗️
These findings show that STING agonists could reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance chemo responses in osteosarcoma.
A promising #chemoimmunotherapy strategy for young patients 💛
This work was made possible thanks to support from:

🦴 Osteosarcoma treatments haven’t changed much since the 1970s—& that needs to change.
This #SarcomaAwarenessMonth, our lab is using #3Dbioprinting, #OrganOnChip & #immunotherapy to build better models & find smarter treatments.
Patients deserve better. We’re working on it. 🔬
🧬 This #SarcomaAwarenessMonth, Dr @FreemanFiona1 lab is developing 3D tumor models & nanoparticle therapies to stop osteosarcoma in its tracks—especially when it spreads to the lungs. New tools, new hope. 🎗️💛 #FightSarcoma #YellowForSarcoma #METACHIP
