🚨 New biomarker alert!
We discovered a sugar in urine, nLc4, released by bladder tumor cells and potentially enabling non-invasive bladder cancer detection.
The study, combining advanced techniques and hundreds of patient samples across Germany, in now online!

Had a fantastic time at the CCC-N Young Cancer Scientist Symposium in Göttingen!
Great to meet fellow #cancer researchers from Lower Saxony and exchange ideas.
And the cherry on top: I won the Best Talk Award! 🎉
Just published something I’ve been working on (and thinking about) for months 💭
Our review on glycosphingolipids in bladder cancer is finally out! 🍬

(And yes, I wrote this while juggling twins and science 😂)

Poster session yesterday in Hannover during the DFG-FOR2953 teaching workshop on Sialic acids.
Great talks, great posters, and great people — all under the blue sky! ☀️

🔬 Spending my Saturday at an early career mentoring workshop for women in STEM! Proud to be part of this program and invest in my growth. Balancing work and life isn’t easy, but mentorship helps! How do you manage this balance?

👩🔬 Today we celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science! As a researcher, I’m proud to be part of a growing community of women pushing boundaries in science.
Let’s continue to inspire, support, and create opportunities for the next generation of scientists. 💪🔬
Happy #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! In the last decade, our main fight at the #WomenInSTEM Archive has been against indifference, but now with active organized attempts by the government to efface women scientists, we continue our promise to keep providing a home for these stories.

Instead of a milestone photo, we’re embracing a surprise ‘extra days at home’ adventure. Flexibility is the real parenting skill, right? #MondayMotivation #ParentLife #ExpectTheUnexpected

From altered glycosylation patterns to tumor-associated glycans, sugars are more than just sweet - they might be the missing link in precision medicine! 🍬🔬 #CancerBiology
