It has been a privilege to assist to the Ruban Rose award ceremony with Research Grand Prize awarded to @goetzjacky.bsky.social at the Hôtel de Lassay. Thanks for this amazing time and always sharing the light with your team 🙏. We are very grateful to the Association Ruban Rose for their support.

Congrats to @goetzjacky.bsky.social and team for winning the Ruban Rose (Pink Ribbon) Research Grand Prize for their pioneering work on cancer metastasis! 🎉 #YouRock

Very happy to receive this award on behalf of my entire team & so grateful to Association Ruban Rose www.dna.fr/sante/2025/1...

Very happy to share the beautiful cover of @cp-trendscancer.bsky.social that is designed based on our review article on #platelets and their role, usage and targeting in #cancer and its #therapy Link to the full issue : www.cell.com/issue/S2405-... @inserm.fr @unistra.fr

Here they are, the true stars of this amazing show we could live for 3 days (well, 2 🙏). Awesome job guys !

Just back from an awesome #zebrafish meeting in #Toulouse. Vibrant and caring French community around one of our favorite model system 🐠🦓 With Zeynep YESILATA Laurie Nemoz-Billet & Naël OSMANI, we presented some of our current work using that model

#sport & #science, next episode on how both can be awesome 🤩 ! Perfect venue, scenery and conditions (quiet ocean, low wind, dry & sunny) What best for 1,9km 🏊, 90km 🚴 and 21km 🏃‍♂️ along the ocean #Cascais #Portugal

Thank you for having me. Looking forward to it !

Check out this beautiful thread 🧵 and links to the study 📚 Awesome work on the life of megakaryocytes, very funny cells ! Lead by @wclairemasson.bsky.social !

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of our founder, colleague, mentor and friend, Professor Sir John Gurdon. His vision and dedication will continue to inspire generations of scientists. 🔗 www.gurdon.cam.ac.uk/nobel-laurea...

I still can't believe this has happened 🥹 Working with Jochen during these past 6 years has been pure joy...I miss him so much and still feel devastated that I could not say a proper goodbye (and that he can't even see our tiny jewel in the making).

My very dear Jochen Guck, has just passed away and yet I cannot believe it 🥹 Jochen is one of the most brilliant scientist I had ever met, a human being with unlimited qualities, brave and caring, positive (always) and full of ressources, helpful and with - always - the best advices.

I was fortunate, in the past 6 months, to be invited to not one but two prestigious & amazing Gordon Research Conferences : - the 1st one in January in #Pomona, #LosAngeles, on #Physical #Science of #Cancer, chaired by E.Sahai & K.Tanner

Experimental models of hashtag#metastatic dormancy reveals that some viruses (i.e. influenza & SARS-CoV-2 #COVID) can reactivate cancer cells 👉 The original study @nature.com : www.nature.com/articles/s41... 👉 French news (with some of my comments) Le Figaro : sante.lefigaro.fr/medecine/la-...

❓ What makes #platelets sticky ? 👉 Integrins (among others) ! ❓Can we generate a mouse model with NO integrins on #platelets ? 👉 Our collaborators #umr1255 #EFS had, and it is unique !❓What is the impact on #hemostasis, #thrombosis & #metastasis 👉 Massive in some instances, significant in others !

Dream job 🤩⬇️

#GRC_Angiogenesis2025 is about to begin and we want to thank our amazing sponsors for helping us support the young generation of vascular biologists!! See you all soon in Newport!!! @evborg.bsky.social @navbo.bsky.social @biologists.bsky.social @weizmanninstitute.bsky.social @yalecvrc.bsky.social

#sport & #science, next episode You feel sick, tired & down, but convinced that you still have some energy to do this. Our body & mind have resources that exceed our own expectations. What : #Triathlon #4 in #2025 Format : Olympic (M) Where : #Elsassmann Rank: 15th (scratch),🥈 (M2M) 📸 P.Wihmet

Looking forward to joining this #Gordon in #Newport and dive back into this exciting #Vascular #Biology field (and see many friendly faces) Thanks @karinayaniv.bsky.social & A.Eichmann for the invitation 😱 When you realize that your #ESTA isn't valid anymore...the night before flying out... 🤞
