I'm thrilled to share that I've been awarded a 4-year postdoctoral fellowship by @Stkstichting!🥳🧪I am grateful for the opportunity to continue my research on macrophage metabolic reprogramming,particularly in metastatic development! Excited for what's ahead!🔬🤓#postdoc #science #womaninSTEM #KULeuven

We are looking for PhD students and/or postdocs that want to join us to study the metabolism of metastasizing cancer cells with cutting-edge spatial and single cell technologies.

Good Sunday, all. Last week, some truly landmark papers were published in #cancermetabolism and #mitochondrialbiology.
Find them in this curated issue: biomed.news/bims-camemi/... @biomednews.bsky.social

More than happy to see my PhD paper finally published!!🥳It was a big effort and nothing would have been possible without all the collaborators involved!😁
We found that Complex III sustains IL-10 production through ROS in activated macrophages and that its inhibition affect tumor progression in mice🧫

With the deluge of new friends - if you are or know someone who is a looking for a position as computational scientist (any level) in #pancreaticcancer, #macrophages #spatialbiology #singlecell... we might have something for you. Will also consider wet lab ppl, send email if interested. pls repost!
