Right before the holidays, happy to share our new preprint 🌲 The 3rd main part of my PhD, from a simple idea long before the spatial era boom: how do tissues from different regions of the same tumor differ in immune cell states and TCR clonality?
Thanks to all co-authors for their work and support!

Dietary restriction reprograms CD8+ T cell fate to enhance anti-tumour immunity and immunotherapy responses Nature Metabolism, Published online: 09 December 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01415-6Dietary restriction promotes the expansion of effector T cells via ketone bodies, which enhances anti-tumour immunity and synergizes with immunotherapy in mice.

The T cell subsetting challenge Exploiting specific T cell subset properties bears potential for T cell therapies but is complicated by inconsistencies in T cell subset definitions and markers. Here, we discuss causes for the definition and classification complexities to provide a handle for how to navigate the T cell subset jungle.

So happy to be back in beautiful Lisbon for #EACR2025!
Looking forward to the fantastic scientific talks ahead, and to discussing our study on the spatial organization of intratumour immune heterogeneity (poster P-755 tomorrow!)🪻

Happy to share that I have been awarded the EACR-Mark Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship! This funding supports my project on identifying TME signals shaping distinct CD8 T cell states at @danielathommen.bsky.social @nkinl.bsky.social.
Grateful for this opportunity!
Congrats to all the recipients!

Continuous replenishment of the dysfunctional CD8 T cell axis is associated with response to chemoimmunotherapy in advanced breast cancer Chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint blockade has shown clinical activity in breast cancer. Response, however, occurs in only a low proportion…

Excited to share my first post & see the second part of my PhD work published! Our study on mTNBC highlights that baseline clonal expansion of dysfunctional CD8 cells is linked to better response to chemoimmunotherapy.
