Congratulations to all the ERC Starting Grant awardees 🧪 including @alvarezprado.bsky.social & @lbejarano.bsky.social, two brilliant former postdocs from my lab who have started their own labs this year in 🇱🇺 and 🇪🇸

Could not be more proud of Leire and Ángel 🤩 🎉 🎉 🎉

#ERCStartingGrant

Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for the METAVASC project, focused on studying the vasculature in brain mets 🙏🎉

Huge thanks to the ERC, mentors & collaborators that made this possible!

We’ll soon recruit PhDs, postdocs & techs, stay tuned😊
@erc.europa.eu #ERCStG

How can we reawaken the body’s own anti-viral defenses to fight brain cancer?

Delighted to share our new study where we now answer this question, led by the brilliant @alvarezprado.bsky.social who is now an independent PI at LIH Luxembourg 👏👏

Truly honored to receive the 'Young Researcher in Basic Sciences Award' from the Faculty of Biology and Medicine, University of Lausanne! 🧠 ✨
Huge thanks to Johanna Joyce for her excellent mentorship, support, and inspiration — I’m incredibly grateful!
And congrats to all the other awardees! 🎉

After a memorable journey in the Joyce Lab, it’s time to start a new adventure. I will always be grateful for the extraordinary mentorship and support of @johannajoyce.bsky.social. I'm excited to share that I will start as a #NewPI at the Biogipuzkoa HRI, in the beautiful city of San Sebastián 🙂

@cp-immunity.bsky.social

Why do brain metastases resist #immunotherapy — even when the same cancer responds outside the #brain? 🧠🧪💥

We just published a study diving into this question ⏬

Led by an amazing (former) PhD student in my lab —Vladimir Wischnewski 🎉

How does the #vasculature regulate #immune cell infiltration & function across different brain tumors? 🧠🧪

Excited to share our latest study in #Immunity where we uncover some interesting answers— led by the amazing @lbejarano.bsky.social 🤩👏🏻
