Alicia L BRUZOS, Dr (she/her)

🚀 Thrilled to start this new chapter at the @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social, where I will explore how cancer spreads in bivalves. 🧬 🌊 Honored to be a #MinervaFastTrack fellow and eager to lead a team. 🔬 Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and advancing what we know about cancer evolution.

Grateful to have attended #EACR2025 in Lisbon 🇵🇹 and to present my work at the Molecular Mechanisms of Metastasis symposium! Great science, old friends & new inspiring people 💡🧬💬 @helloeacr.bsky.social @aseica.bsky.social

And today at @empseb30.bsky.social we started with @biobiiana.bsky.social learning about parental care, canibalism and much more that happens in frogs 🐸 thanks for this engaging and interesting talk 👏

Inspiring and encouraging talk by @biobiiana.bsky.social at @empseb30.bsky.social with actions we can take to improve what we face! Thank you ☺️

Isn’t biology beautiful? @empseb30.bsky.social

Merci beaucoup!!

Fascinating talk by @bruzos.bsky.social on cancer transmission in bivalves at @empseb30.bsky.social

Our todays keynote speaker was Alicia L. Bruzos. She gave an inspiring talk about contagious cancer in different bivalve species. 🐚This unique type of cancer represent an interesting oppurtunity to explore the nature and evolution of cancer. We would like to thank @bruzos.bsky.social for the talk!☺️

Great talk of @achillelenglin.bsky.social at @empseb30.bsky.social !!

At EMPSEB, you'll get to know the plenaries better than at other meetings – they'll be at all parts of the conference, including the talks, workshops and social events. We're thrilled that @bruzos.bsky.social, Filip Kolář, Eric Libby and @biobiiana.bsky.social will be joining us next year!

Phylogenetic tree highlighting species with exceptionally low cancer risk.

Big new comparative oncology paper! Zachary Compton and a large multi-institutional team analysed 16,049 necropsy records for 292 species spanning three clades of tetrapods to identify species with exceptionally high or low cancer prevalence. Free to read at doi.org/10.1158/2159...

So excited to see bivalve transmissible cancer on the cover of our issue!

Trying out my first post in the new place (thanks @alisonfeder.bsky.social) to post our paper on the analysis of the genomic changes in the evolution of the bivalve transmissible neoplasia in soft-shell clams that came out last week! www.nature.com/articles/s43...
