Super happy to have contributed to this YUUGE study, now out in DMM, demonstrating that the pathogenic PTEN-R173C variant displays defective nuclear targeting, driving macrocephaly, lymphoid hyperplasia and late-onset cancer in a PTEN Hamartoma Tumour Syndrome mouse model doi.org/10.1242/dmm....

Some final help from my youngest son to box up the office and the lab is ready to Moooove it!

And some pics of my sometimes beautiful route to work

Reached 10 000km on my trusty Kalkhoff e-bike. Some stats 😂 - 333,3 round trips to work, 2 small accidents, 1 road rage driver who "pepper sprayed" me 😱, 1 incident helping local police find my nationality in their electronic devices so I could be fined (all paid up!), and...0 punctures!

Pleased to announce launching Institut Cochin Foundation, on Sept. 18 at 6 p.m., upon registration, either in the Rosalind Franklin room, 22 rue Méchain, Paris or via video conference: presentation of @institutcochin.bsky.social, meet researchers and call for donations-thanks for your support!

I am organizing a Special Issue in Cancers with Eric Chastre & Larissa Kotelevets on PTEN Regulation. 7 papers published so far and deadline is fixed for 31 Dec 2025. Please reach out if you are interested in contributing.
