Vacatures - PhD tumor immunology of peritoneal metastasis - Amsterdam UMC Colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases has a particularly poor prognosis. In this KWF-funded project, you will investigate how glycan structures affect immune responses in peritoneal metastasis and whether glycan inhibition can restore anti-tumor immunity.

Our lab is hiring a PhD student to investigate how glycans affect antitumor immune responses in metastases and how this can be modulated to improve immunotherapy! More info here πŸ‘‡

Transgender vrouwen hebben géén verhoogd risico op hartinfarct en beroerte | Amsterdam UMC In tegenstelling tot wat blijkt uit eerdere onderzoeken hebben transgender vrouwen die het hormoon oestradiol gebruiken voor hun transitie, géén verhoogd risico op een hartinfarct en een beroerte in vergelijking met mannen uit de algehele Nederlandse bevolking. Dit blijkt uit een grootschalige studie van Amsterdam UMC met data van ruim 4.000 transgender personen.

Well in short it seems that it does not, even when accounting for relationship quality. Results for future expectations offer a potentially brighter picture. What buffers loneliness for asexuals? We’re speculating, but maybe platonic queer friendships. Check out the preprint! osf.io/preprints/os...

Was a pleasure to see @zoppolat.bsky.social once again present our work testing whether romantic relationship involvement buffers loneliness for asexuals as it has been shown to do for heterosexuals and other sexual minorities at the IARR mini conference in London. Curious about the results?…

In a new piece w/ Manuela Barreto & Marlies Maes we take stock of the field and point toward new ways of thinking about gender and loneliness. nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I remember being sceptical reading some papers from the early 2000’s on rapid effects of androgens. And now several recent papers have now described membrane receptors for androgens (see also doi.org/10.1126/scis...)! And one already has an agonist!

Nessa is doing exciting community-engaged work for our project on gender-affirming hormone therapy. This type of research is especially important in trans healthcare where the community has historically (and currently) been marginalized. Check out the new preprint to read more about our approach.
