Vitanza Lab Running, Walking, Raising Money for Hope - to better outcomes for pediatric cancers

Congratulations to Seattle Children’s Nicholas Vitanza, MD, on receiving a $1 million grant from @TheCureStartsNow Foundation and their partners, the DIPG/DMG Collaborative. Together, we’re working to create better treatment options and new hope for children and families. https://bit.ly/4m9TT9A

History has been made. | RUN DIPG History has been made. This week, the FDA approved Modeyso™ (formerly ONC201) - the first-ever treatment for recurrent H3 K27M-mutant DMG. For the first time, there is an approved therapy for familie...

Amazing news for all families and patients! Great effort from the team - hard work paying off!

Great news, will surely be a highly sought after journal. And congratulations on the editor role!

Interesting talks and lovely catch ups at #SNOPeds2025

Anja Kordowski - Run of Hope Seattle The Run of Hope benefits pediatric cancer research at Seattle Children's. Please join me this year!

@nickvitanza.bsky.social Lab on a mission:
In September, our team and many others will run and raise towards peds cancer research.

Please consider supporting us, and please spread and share these words - every little matters!

The German Science and Humanities Council and the German Rectors' Conference criticise attacks on academic freedom and declares its solidarity with US institutions and scientists. An attack on science anywhere is an attack on science everywhere. #AcademicFreedom #HandsOff

Lots of papers about higher turnover rates and replication. Which indirectly explains more rapid mRNA production. Had to find explanation for my thesis, but didn’t find specific papers, would be interested too!

Experimental brain tumor treatment shows promise for pediatric brain cancer Gavin Nielsen, who was 2 years old when he was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer, met Dr. Nicholas Vitanza who is part of a growing group of researchers exploring CAR-T therapy. The treatment program...

Thanks to Dr. Syal & @nbcnews.com for visiting our #CARTcell program to highlight one of our courageous little patients with #DIPG #DMG. So much work left to do but thankful for the support of Seattle Children’s and our brave families. ❤️

lots of future

If you’re feeling depressed, go out and volunteer to educate the public/support the next generation of scientists. Between the rally yesterday and a HS science fair today, I’m feeling much better about our future, just knowing there will always be good people working and advocating for science 🧬✊

Spatial analysis of a complete DIPG-infiltrated brainstem reveals novel ligand-receptor mediators of tumour-to-TME crosstalk - Acta Neuropathologica Communications Previous studies have highlighted the capacity of brain cancer cells to functionally interact with the tumour microenvironment (TME). This TME-cancer crosstalk crucially contributes to tumour cell inv...

Very happy to share that my spatial transcriptomic sequencing study on a DIPG-infiltrated patient brainstem has now been published. #DIPG #tumor-TME-interactions #PAC1-PACAP
All sequencing data available on GEO: GSE280990.
Sharing is much appreciated!

I should start looking into some tickets to their games

Beautiful gift and ‘very important meeting’ - a very warm welcome from the Vitanza Laboratory

So great to see that hard work can make a difference!
And incredibly honoured to become a part of this lab.

Thank you Nick!

Today, I am leaving this great country to continue my science journey in @nickvitanza.bsky.social lab at Seattle Children’s Hospital. But I may return soon with some exciting new data on DIPG for #ISPNO2026

Whilst my journey will continue in the @nickvitanza.bsky.social lab, I want to mention this local Aussie hero:

A dedicated dad that sadly lost his daughter to DIPG. Helping Australian kids and supporting researchers to hopefully improve these outcomes in the future - no mission too big!

I asked my colleague Rochelle to attend this session
