Deeply honored to receive the @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social Research Council Award in Biomedical Sciences yesterday ~ it was a pleasure to share the stage with fantastic scientists, get inspired by their innovative research and being able to celebrate with old friends and colleagues ☺️ 🥂

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

Science is under threat

We are looking for PhD students and/or postdocs that want to join us to study the metabolism of metastasizing cancer cells with cutting-edge spatial and single cell technologies. fendtlab.sites.vib.be/en

Did you know that cancer metabolism works both ways?! Tumors influence the host systemically, while the host's metabolic state also shapes cancer progression... Explore this dynamic interplay in our latest review in @natrevcancer.bsky.social 👇👇👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to announce that I’ve joined @ChristieTowers Lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social as a Postdoctoral Fellow 🥳! Looking forward to dive into the autophagy field and collaborate with amazing scientists 🙌 #NewChallenges

Really grateful for all these years in the @fendtlab.bsky.social !!

🤯 New work by @ginevradoglioni.bsky.social, @fendtlab.bsky.social, and colleagues finds a role for the amino acid in cancer metastasis. @vib-ccb.bsky.social (👉 vibbio.tech/40hLskI)

Beyond excited to share that the main work of my PhD on how aspartate signaling drives metastasis is finally out in @nature.com ✨ -> go.nature.com/4gCYtuL A huge thank to the @fendtlab.bsky.social and all our collaborators for the terrific team work 🙏 A brief 🧵
