#MSKPostdoc Bujamin "Ben" Vokshi (@vokshib.bsky.social), co-leader of the MSK PDA Parent Committee and a postdoc in the Massague Lab, studies how metastatic 🫁 adenocarcinoma develops resistance to targeted therapies and how to overcome it to make treatments last longer. #NPAW2026 🇫🇷🇦🇱

#BestPartOfScience: Turning curiosity into discovery and helping others understand why it matters. While I enjoy tackling complex questions in cancer biology, the most rewarding part is sharing knowledge and inspiring curiosity in others.

#BecomingAScientist: I came to cancer
research after losing family members to the disease more than 15 years ago. Seeing the progress made since then transformed grief into purpose, and at MSK, I have the opportunity to turn that purpose into discoveries that may ultimately benefit patients.

#FunFact: Outside the lab, I practice karate. It has taught me patience, humility, and the value of consistent effort, lessons that apply just as much to science as they do to martial arts.

TFE3 fusion oncoprotein condensates drive transcriptional reprogramming and cancer progression in translocation renal cell carcinoma

So et al. investigate TFE3 fusion oncoproteins (FOs) in translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) and find that TFE3 FOs form transcriptional condensates and drive tRCC progression. The structured coi...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Extremely honoured to be the 2025 recipient of the Francois Wallace Monahan fellowship supporting my next 2 years of research on lung cancer metastasis in the Massagué group at MSK.

Must read. Fantastic work that uncovered a novel immune checkpoint associated with cellular senescence. Congrats Charlène and the amazing team!
