It's a special day here at the Florez Lab as we wish Courtney Mantz a very happy birthday today!!!! 🎉 We’re so grateful to have Courtney as part of our team in the Florez Lab, leading the charge in our ctDNA program AND our up-and-coming Young Lung Cancer program here at Dana Farber.

Following in the footsteps of our amazing leader @narjustflorezmd.bsky.social , we’re excited to take a deeper dive into our recent #YLC publication: "Understanding Young Lung Cancer – The Time Is Now!" 🔍💡 Its time for our favorite #threadtime @younglungcancer.bsky.social

With everything we accomplish: every step we take, every study we publish, every dollar we raise—it all happens because of this incredible #YLC and #LungCancer community. Your support, stories, and advocacy fuel our mission.

Another milestone we hit was at Jimmy Fund Walk 2024—our FIRST year, where we took home the #RookieOfTheYear award! 🏆🔥 Over $23K raised for #YoungLungCancer patients—because every step we take fuels support, research, and awareness. And guess what? We’re coming back in 2025 for ANOTHER WIN! 👟💙💛

At the Florez Lab, we don’t just study YLC—we make sure the world hears about it. Through academic papers, media articles, conference interviews, and social media, we are constantly pushing to make @younglungcancer.bsky.social known. 📢

Going down memory lane we are starting strong with our studies! 🔬💥 We’ve got tons of research going on, but on this special day we have to give a shoutout to our #YLC studies

Get ready for the first-ever #TTLC25 discussion on the demographics of lung cancer, with a special focus on young adults. 💬 Let’s take a trip down #history and see how far we’ve come. 🔙 #LungCancerAwareness #YoungAdults #MedicalMilestones

Come check out @Narjustflorezmd.bsky.social in the session "Changing Demographics of Lung Cancer" tackling the treatment of young lung cancer. Be there when the conversation starts at 1:40pm PST—don't miss this FIRST of its kind discussion at #TTLC25!🔥

@florezlab.bsky.social is so excited because our copy of the Top Doctors 2025 issue arrived! And just like they say, there’s gold at the end of the rainbow – look who we found at the end of ours, @narjustflorezmd.bsky.social. Congratulations again on this amazing recognition!🎉 #topdoctors2025

Pulled out the camera for this special day! 🎥✨ Yesterday, we got all dressed up to celebrate @narjustflorezmd.bsky.social & fellow nominees honored by the Boston Business Journal for their amazing achievements. 🎉 Congrats @narjustflorezmd.bsky.social & all honorees! 🏆👏 #InnovatorsInHealthcare

We’re thrilled to celebrate our own @narjustflorezmd.bsky.social for being recognized as a Rising Star Women Leader in Healthcare 2025 by Women We Admire! 🌟🏆 This honor highlights her passion, innovation, and dedication to mentoring the next generation of healthcare leaders.

Today, on #WorldCancerDay, we recognize everyone impacted by cancer: patients, families, researchers, and advocates. To all the fighters, survivors, and those we’ve lost — you inspire us @florezlab every single day. Let’s keep working and fighting together. 💜 #EndCancer #WorldCancerDay #HearHer
