I am so excited to announce the launch of @pheast_inc, an immuno-oncology company stemming from my PhD thesis work in Irv Weissman’s lab at @StanfordMed. Pheast is focused on developing treatments to unleash the full potential of macrophages in the fight against cancer. 1/7

I am so proud of the hard work and dedication from @AmiraBarkal to get @pheast_inc to this milestone! Can't wait to see how anti-CD24 therapy can help cancer patients, especially those with women's cancers.
