Spot on! By Finnish (female) painter Elin Danielson, who captured the procrastination already in 1890 💎

Have a look at this really nice paper by @cassiejclarke.bsky.social and the team describing the interplay between tumor metabolism and immune and ECM microenvironments!

Am I back from the best conference ever? Yes! But do I also see a crucial tool for the analysis of the #ECMatrix in scRNAseq? Also yes!! Another fantastic tool in collaboration with @nabalabuic.bsky.social 🔥🔥🔥

To end the academic year we did a lab seminar day and outing. Cool science, thesis and manuscripts coming together because of this amazing group of people ✨

Honored to have been elected with Patrick Caswell @mcrcellmatrix.bsky.social co-chair of the 2029 Gordon Research Conference on Fibronectin, Integrins, and Related Molecules! We have big shoes to fill: www.grc.org/fibronectin-..., but are up for the challenge!

Had great time in GRC Fibronectin and related molecules (my lab representing the latter 😁) in Tuscany and presented our latest work. Also, new and old friends were found!

Visited rainy Scotland

Finalized the collection "Methods and Models in Mammary Gland Biology and Breast Cancer" with @sumbalovakoledova.bsky.social for Journal of Mammary Gland biology and Neoplasia. Check out our editorial on the articles included in the colection 🧪 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

When a woman is empowered, the world is empowered.💜️ #InternationalWomensDay

Wishing happy womens day to all the wonderful women in my life, especially those in my family, my past and present mentors and the rising women scientists in my research group 💎 #womeninscience 🧪

Friday morning and the PI is going to do some labwork. Everything will go smoothly, right?

Are you working on #ECM or mechanobiology in the mammary gland or in breast cancer? Together with Jason Northey we are guest editing a collection on the topic for the Journal of Mammary gland biology and Neoplasia. Submission of articles is now open! link.springer.com/collections/...

Finishing the year with 1st preprint from the lab! Together with @katajistolab.bsky.social and @valerioizzi.bsky.social we investigated the role of basement membrane protein Lama5 and found it is critical for luminal breast cancer initiation and growth www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

But please return the Proofs in 2 days

Better late than newer! But finally on this side for good 🦋

Extremely honoured to be awarded funding from Jane and Aatos Erkon säätiö to work on understand the role of #ECM in initiation of #breastcancer @ Institute of Biotechnology University of Helsinki jaes.fi/myonnetyt-av...
