And he did a fantastic job! Bravo Menno, very proud of you 👏🏻

Bravo to @martina-farber.bsky.social and Serena from our lab for writing an insightful preview of a very important paper from the Dimitri lab !👏🏻👏🏻

❤️🧡💛💚💙 The traditional Canal Parade marked the end of Pride 2025 this past Saturday. Eighty boats took part, with number 72 proudly representing our Institute. We believe that an inclusive organization, where you can be yourself, is the foundation for strong collaboration and excellent research.

Meet Leila Akkari (@leilaakkari.bsky.social). She combines insights from immunology and molecular biology to study how tumour cells and immune cells influence each other. 👉 www.ammodo-science.org/researches/l... Ammodo Science Award Laureate 2025 🧪 #immunology #molbiol

Entended deadline for the hands-on Cancer Neuroscience Cajal Course in Bordeaux. Spread the word!

So proud of @efitsouri.bsky.social, Thijs and Menno from our lab who ran up the Alpes d’Huez and raised funds for cancer research with @oncodeinstitute.bsky.social. Inspiring 🙏🤩

Nothing like a little animal facility trip for injections with @claudiadepaulis.bsky.social and team to break from grant reviews 😍! I don’t do much experiments anymore, but it’s nice to feel useful sometimes 😂😂

My blue sky mindset as very busy times are keeping me from seeing it much (both the sky and kid!). Hard trade off of being a scientist,-something life is really just about research, and that’s ok, as long as it’s not too long :)

Very proud to receive this Ammodo Science Award recognition of our lab’s work the past few years @nkinl.bsky.social @oncodeinstitute.bsky.social 🙏🙏. Big up to my fabulous lab peeps, mentors, colleagues, family and friends for all their support. Looking forward to celebrate altogether on May 7th🥳🤩🥰!

A beautiful article about writing, which also advocates against the use of LLM when learning academic writing www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to be organising this year’s yICSA symposium at the @nkinl.bsky.social. Looking forward to two days full of exciting research 😄 #yICSAAmsterdam @yicsac.bsky.social @icsasenescence.bsky.social

Please spread widely 🙏, thank you ! Dear community, we are actively looking for the mouse 344SQ lung adenocarcinoma cell line (129sv background) ? We would also be interested in any other mouse tumor cell line in this background (129sv). Highly appreciated ! Thank you in advance

Just perfectly worded👇. Happy international women’s day to all !💪. #WomenInScience

A TME dynamics challenge!!! 🤩🤩🤩 @cancergrand.bsky.social

Congratulations to @tymillerlab.bsky.social and the Bernstein lab for this elegant work defining phenotypic programs of myeloid cells in gliomas-so many integrated cues to it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩

Yay! Welcome to Bluesky René!

Looking forward to joining you there Rich !

Huge congrats my friend. This is so cool- extracellular cleaving of peptides as a nutrient backup??? So so cool. Life lesson from this study- cooperate/collaborate to thrive :) Wonder what macrophages do in this whole process… also love how the paper is written, a tour de force! Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤩🤩

Today is #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience. Women continue to face systemic barriers & biases in pursuing scientific careers. Closing the gender gap requires breaking stereotypes,promoting role models & supporting womens advancement through actions that promote inclusion,diversity & equity 🧪

Well done, bravo to @nkinl.bsky.social for developing and now implementing this initiative- super happy to have Angelina in the lab for the next few months! Very proud of my workplace 👌👏🏻🙌🙌🙌

Great talks in this morning #CRCL symposium #invasion & #metastasis session : - @eriksahailab.bsky.social showing amazing new insights into why liver metastasis respond badly/differently to @ICB - @eloise-grasset.bsky.social telling us how hybrid E/M cells contribute to TNBC metastasis (1/2)

So true! #thankamentor! So grateful to mine, from my forever mentors who shaped my scientific life, Ula Hibner and @johannajoyce.bsky.social, and the ones who were instrumental me along the way: @lowelab.bsky.social, Chuck Sherr, Karin de Visser, Rene Medema.. and many others. Merci !!☺️ 🤩 🙏🙏
