2nd MRS Early Career Research Virtual Meeting | Metastasis Research
The 2025 MRS Early Career Research Virtual Meeting is a two day meeting aimed at engaging trainees and early career researchers from around the world and highlighting recent advances in metastasis research through keynote presentations, invited talks, panel discussions, and selected talks from abstracts. The meeting is organized and hosted by the Early Career Leadership Council (ECLC) of the MRS. Abstracts are being accepted for consideration for oral presentations. Abstract submission is open to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, medical students, residents, clinical fellows, and researchers within 3 years of starting their own independent research group. Registration for this meeting is free for MRS Members!

Happy to share our latest preprint doing low cell number (mini-bulk) and single cell #proteomics on tumour associated neutrophils from human glioblastoma where we find multiple functional states that would be invisible to scRNAseq, some showing pro-tumoural states with potential therapeutic value
Single cell proteomic analysis defines discrete neutrophil functional states in human glioblastoma
Neutrophils are vital innate immune cells shown to infiltrate glioblastomas, however we currently lack the molecular understanding of their functional states within the tumour niche. Neutrophils are k...

As a new postdoc in my lab (@cshlnews.bsky.social@jhu.edu) @adrover.bsky.social (now @crick.ac.uk) saw NETs in tumors—I shrugged. But he looked closer in 3D: NETs block tumor vessels, driving necrosis, hypoxia, EMT & metastasis.

I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the @megeblad.bsky.social lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13)
