Thanks to best supervisor I could have asked for @maxreichertmd.bsky.social, to some of the best collaborators, my thesis examiners Heiko Lickert, Eirini Velliou, Alessandra Moretti and my dearest friends Konstantina, Bob, and all the rest who I miss so much!!☺️😁

Reflecting on my #phd journey tonight! I am so grateful to a group of amazing people, my advisor Max, my TAC members, examiners, collaborators, and my people whom I miss so much!! 6 months ago we celebrated a personal mileston!! Thanks to all who made it possible!

Anyone in here who applied for the @embo.org #postdoctoral #fellowship and could share some information/tips!?
I would be really grateful for any insights!!
😁🤩

High-throughput screening of drugs that affect cell proliferation is easily done using a plate reader.

No such luck for cell migration. So, we developed an assay for label-free deep learning-based automated cell tracking.

Read more about our assay here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Applications are now open for the @cruk-cityoflondon.bsky.social Black Leaders in Cancer PhD Programme.

If you are interested in our project ‘Reprogramming Plasticity in Colorectal Cancer’ feel free to get in touch!

See you soon Günter! Cheers from Greece 😄🤩

When you pack the last 7 years of memories with the most beautiful people and leave 🇩🇪 🥹🥰
Auf Wiedersehen Munich, I will miss you all! To new adventures 🤩

Coming out is not a one-time event - Nature Cell Biology June is the month celebrating Pride in the USA and other countries around the world to honour the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, as well as all progress and current strives claiming equal justice for mem...

🏳️‍🌈It was a great pleasure to interview @jzylicz.bsky.social and hear about his views on the importance of celebrating #Pride, representation in science, and more!

Don’t be afraid to be you, young friends and colleagues - you are not alone. Join us! #PrideInSTEM‍

🤩My new #naturecover for @maxreichertmd.bsky.social and @arispapargyriou.bsky.social who developed a new 3D culture system called “branched” organoids.

They’re called #branched because they grow outward in tree-like shapes with multiple “branches” mimicking the tumour growth in adenocarcinoma.

Time to have more diversity overall! 😁

@bacell3d.bsky.social 2025 has begun with a bang! Time for a start selfie!

Thanks Virginia!! How are you doing? Hope to catch up soon!! 😁😘

Thanks Chris!! 😁

Very happy to see the June cover of natBME featuring our paper on branched #organoids to capture pancreatic cancer heterogeneity! Thanks to @maxreichertmd.bsky.social @tum.de and our amazing team!!
Thanks to @ella-maru.bsky.social for the cover design!

June, a reminder of the importance of visibility, inclusion, solidarity. Let's uplift each other + stand up for equity—not just in words, but in action! The Meshwork will always celebrate LGBTQ+ voices. Have a story/lab initiative/scientist to spotlight? We’d love to hear/share!

Did you know cancer cells can be electrically active, just like neurons? This electrical activity plays a key role in tumor progression. Excited to share my first postdoc paper at @crick.ac.uk (and first paper from Leanne Li lab), published in @natureportfolio.nature.com!

Shaping epithelial tissues by stem cell mechanics in development and cancer - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology Adult stem cells self-renew and differentiate to build, maintain and repair tissues.

Very happy to see our review out in @natrevmcb.bsky.social!
Here we discuss how stem cells exert forces to sculpt tissues in development and homeostasis, and how stem cell mechanics go awry upon malignant transformation. Read it here 👇

1/n Some time ago my colleague, excellent cook, and friend Ivan told me: "Cacio e pepe is the recipe that I screw up more often. Let's make a project studying systematically the physics of that sauce".

Prepare to get cheesy, I'm glad to share the Cacio e paper preprint:

arxiv.org/abs/2501.00536

Happy new year everyone and I 've an exciting announcement to make: @naturecellbiology.bsky.social is now open to considering #preclinical studies & #ClinicalTrials, including #CellTherapy or #genetherapy, among others. Feel free to contact the handling editor for more info (yes, that 'd be me!)

Ohh by the looks of it you don’t need any help!! 😁

Join the club!! 🤣😉

Fantastic! Looking forward to reading the paper … 🤩🤞🏻

Maybe ask for an extension, it’s Christmas everyone should have some time off 🤩 and anyways no editor/reviewer will have a look before new years!
Good luck 🤞🏻😁

Thank you Jens!! We are very happy 🤩 perfect Xmas gift 😊

Want to 👀 real phenotypic differences in #PDAC epithelial and mesenchymal #organoids ? @maxreichertmd.bsky.social
