Today, we wrapped up an incredible summer with our SPUR intern, Karla Arcelay Garcia, who returned for a second year and absolutely shined. Watching her growth over these two summers has been inspiring, she came back more driven, more curious, and even more fearless. Way to go, Karla! #ProudMentor

We'd like to give a huge thank you to PROMISE high school student Naomi Jespersen for an inspiring and energizing interview! Your curiosity, thoughful questions, and passion for learning remind us exactly why we love what we do. #PROMISE #FutureLeader 👉 bit.ly/3ZXa6qo

So proud of the delaPuenteLab presence in the Eastern South Dakota Research Symposium. Simona received a Best Oral Presentation Poster Award, Amrita was selected as one of the 4 trainees to give an oral presentation, and Karla and Kristin presented posters #WomenInSTEM #CancerRes

We’re thrilled to share that #delaPuentelab has been awarded an NIH R37 MERIT Award! This prestigious grant supports our long-term research in ovarian cancer focused on ECM dynamics. A huge thank you to our lab members and collaborators #R37 #OvarianCancer #ECM #LabMilestone

Today, on #WorldOvarianCancerDay, the delaPuenteLab stands with patients, families, and advocates—driven by science, our lab is committed to advancing discoveries that bring hope and improve outcomes in ovarian cancer, we are not stopping! So proud of these strong ladies 💙

Grateful to Fred Sanfilippo Award from #ASIPath, which enabled me to gave seminars #Rice_BIOE and #MDAndersonCancerCenter. Thank #creinhartking for hosting me, allowing me to connect with amazing faculty/trainees and exchange ideas. #delapuentelab #ASIP #SanfordResearch

Join us tomorrow!!

Well done to the first recipients of the EACR-Mark Foundation postdoc fellowships 🎉🎊 And a happy coincidence that all three awardees are women scientists in the labs of three women PIs 🙌 #WomeninSTEM #WomeninScience 👩‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬🧪 @themarkfdn.bsky.social @helloeacr.bsky.social @juliemmazet.bsky.social

Congratulations to the de la Puente Lab team, they got 1st place on the chemical lab labeling challenge organized by the Sanford Research safety committee! Enjoy your yummy prizes and thanks for your "safe" and hard work 😀

Join us next week to hear Dr. Plesselova and her amazing story on how to turn cold ovarian tumors into hot ones by targeting the ECM! #ProudPI

Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience. This year, I was asked to record a video to talk about what a scientist do and bring some contemporary role models to elementary school kids in my home country, Spain. Cute flyer of what they learn (in Spanish) #WomenInSTEM #RepresentationMatters

Great opportunity for trainees working on Women’s Health and ECM. Submit your abstract by Feb 14!

Join us for this very important e-symposia in March! #WomensHealth #ECMatrix #ScienceNoBoundaries

@gpfatlab.bsky.social and I are excited to organize the next @amsocmatbio.bsky.social e-symposia focused on the "Intersection of Women’s Health and the ECM" on March 26. Short talks will be selected from abstracts. Join us #womenshealth #ECM #ASMB www.asmb.net/e-symposia

Submit your research to a special issue in Biomedical Materials Research Part A (JBMR-A) called "Biomaterials for Women's Health" - super excited to guest edit with Jessica Weaver and working with Kent Leach to put together an exciting issue! 🧪 Learn more and submit your article: lnkd.in/gZRm8Zhs

I'm always thrilled to celebrate the lab's accomplishments with this group of talented, dedicated, intelligent, and fun ladies at our annual winter holiday party. I'm excited to see even more of their achievements in 2025!Proud PI

🎨 In case anyone need… The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏! Check it out 👇 bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Save the date for the ASMB meeting in Baltimore next year!

Congratulations to MD/PhD student Amrita Baghia who has been awarded an Independent Research Award for her work on microfluidics from University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine #microfluidics #delapuentelab #proudPI

The de la Puente Lab is hiring a postdoc. Are you interested in the ECM and it's role in cancer chemoresistance? Do you want to join our talented team? Apply! Please share the word

The @delapuente_lab attended the @AmericanCancerSociety Hope Gala last weekend. An amazing event where the lab efforts where highlighted with a tribute video to our ScholarGrant, 1st of this kind given to SD. Our research efforts align with their mission to end cancer as we know it. #team#stopCancer
