Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement! Proud of you and excited to see this important work out in the world!
Thrilled to announce that my first author publication from my Phd was finally published this last week in Communications Biology! We show how peristaltic forces drive invasive behavior of mechanosensitive colorectal cancer tumors. @MumenthalerSM

Every breakthrough begins with a patient waiting for the next option, and we’re determined to help bring it within reach.
That’s why we’re proud to announce a new exclusive license agreement with UniQuest to advance QED-203, a promising treatment for metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), an advanced form of the disease where current options remain limited.
EMI will lead development using our integrated capabilities across AI‑driven discovery, human‑relevant preclinical models, and clinical expertise.
Our goal: reduce risk, accelerate timelines, and bring new hope to patients who need it most.

Team EMI will be at #AACR2026! 🔬
We're excited to share new research, connect with collaborators, and engage in conversations at the intersection of AI, data, and cancer discovery. At AACR, we'll be showcasing our work in drug development and how we're accelerating promising ideas toward the clinic.
If you’re attending, connect with our researchers, join their sessions, and stay tuned as we share highlights from the meeting. We’re proud to be part of a global community working to turn scientific insight into meaningful impact for patients.

Advances in #syntheticbiology and #systemsbiology can be used to model the dynamic tumor microenvironment, paving the way to a more informed understanding of cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
In a new perspective for @natrevbioeng, our @MumenthalerSM, @MouseModeler and fellow co-authors explore how the engineering of synthetic living materials will address critical challenges in #cancerbiology and what inclusive design strategies might look like moving forward.
