Cancer Dormancy Institute @ Einstein
Our goal is to understand how host niches, epi/genetics, aging, lifestyle and treatments influence residual cancer dormancy to detect, prevent and treat cancer relapse

- Exciting science presented by @wenjunguolab.bsky.social !
- Now Wenjun Guo @cdi-einstein.bsky.social presenting his work on MLL3 loss and metastasis initiation.
- A day of exceptional science delivered by CDI Members. Thanks for joining the Retreat!
- Today we had a phenomenal first day of our @cdi-einstein.bsky.social retreat. Great talks by @soledadsosalab.bsky.social Anna Skwarska and John McAuliffe.
- The CDI retreat is only one day away! 1.5 days of exciting science including our keynote speaker Dr. Lewis Chodosh @upenn.edu and talks by our members and new recruits (TBA soon)! Thanks to MECCC, Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation & Pershing Square Philanthropies for their support!
- CDI Director Dr. Aguirre-Ghiso receives highest honor from the metastasis research society. Importantly, this & the Fidler Innovation Award to Dr. Cyrus Ghajar at @fredhutchprotons.bsky.social recognize the discoveries and research on cancer dormancy. www.linkedin.com/posts/metast...
- FAK Inhibition Demonstrates Dual Effects of Tumor Suppression and Dormancy Induction Through Region-Speci�c COUP-TF1 Regulation assets-eu.researchsquare.com/files/rs-761...
- Congratulations to CDI Member Eugen Dhimolea and collaborators at CDI and elsewhere for their recent publication revealing vulnerabilities of quiescent triple negative breast cancer cells persisting after chempotherapy : www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/14...
- Congratulations to Rebeca San Martin @rsm7.bsky.social and Soledad Sosa @soledadsosalab.bsky.social for receiving the 2025 CDI Pilot Grant entitled "Elucidating the chromatin architectures between cancer dormancy and recurrence", which focuses on converging mechanisms in prostate cancer & HNSCC.
- Congratulations to Dr. Sosa @soledadsosalab.bsky.social, one of CDI’s inaugural recruits, on this remarkable recognition by @susangkomen.bsky.social! This well-earned honor exemplifies and strengthens the transformative research vision at @cdi-einstein.bsky.social & @einsteinmededu.bsky.social
- @susangkomen.bsky.social It is a profound honor to accept the Susan G. Komen Next Generation Researcher Award. Thanks for making me feel part of this community and our shared fight against cancer. Thanks to my lab members, my family and my husband for making this possible. @cdi-einstein.bsky.social
- New work from CDI Member Dr. David Fooksman- Congrats! www.cell.com/cell-reports...
- New study from CDI member Rachel Hazan. Congrats! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Important study showing that targeting dormant residual disseminated cancer cells can reduce MRD burden by Angela DeMichele, collaborator and Lewis Chodosh @penncancer.bsky.social who will be Keynote Speaker at our next CDI retreat! Congratulations!
- Pioneering trial targeting dormant residual cancer cells by L. Chodosh, A. DeMichele et al., @penncancer.bsky.social Proof-of-concept that targeting dormant RTCs in breast cancer survivors depletes MRD. NCT03032406. Congratulations for this work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- New findings by CDI members @steidluli.bsky.social @gritsmanlab.bsky.social et al.,reveal how HSC numbers are controlled by both systemic & local (niche) mechanisms, primarily regulated by thrombopoietin, even with increased niche capacity. Congrats to all! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- New work from CDI members @wenjunguolab.bsky.social and Gregoire Lauvau published in Immunity. Congrats! www.cell.com/immunity/abs...
- @cdi-einstein.bsky.social Director @jaguirreghisolab.bsky.social co-leads a study showing how viral infections can trigger via IL6 signaling awakening of dormant breast cancer cells in lungs. CDI's research focuses in part on host variations controlling the timing of residual cancer awakening
- Delighted to see this story out and collaborate with amazing teams led by @jdegregori.bsky.social Mercedes Rincon & @roelvermeulen.bsky.social. Proud to see science propelled by our lab @cdi-einstein.bsky.social expanded to better understand cancer dormancy. Congrats! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- New work from CDI member Evris Gavathiotis our in EMBO Molecular Medicine. Congrats! www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
- The CDI announces the launch of the Cancer Dormancy Institute Service Core. The Core provides expert advice on markers, mouse, avian and 3D models, protocol development and rare cell isolation methods to explore dormancy, MRD & relapse biology across cancers. montefioreeinstein.org/cancer/resea...
- While the CDI Service Core will initially focus on internal programs we encourage those in industry or academic centers that are interested in inquiring about our services to reach out to our team.
- Today we have the pleasure to hear Dr. Ana Gomes @moffittnews.bsky.social deliver a CDI Virtual Seminar. Thanks for meeting with us!
- We are proud to share that @alanawelm.bsky.social, PhD, has been named chair of Oncological Sciences at @utah.edu. A global leader in breast cancer research, she brings deep vision, collaboration, and impact to this new role. Please join us in congratulating Dr. Welm. Learn more: bit.ly/3H3GqB3
- Congratulations !
- Congratulations to Britta Will for being named Director of the Gottesman Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine @einsteinmededu.bsky.social !! Hugely deserved! Looking forward to growing the already strong interactions between @cdi-einstein.bsky.social & the Stem Cell Institute!
- Congrats @steidluli.bsky.social proud to have you at CDI!
- What a great pleasure to witness Uli Steidl @steidluli.bsky.social receiving the The 2025 Marshall Horwitz Faculty Prize for Excellence in Research. Honored to have him as a friend, colleague and Chair @einsteincellbio.bsky.social Congrats !!!
