Reflecting on the 2025 EACR Cancer Neuroscience Conference in Bilbao- what a friendly, inspiring meeting with many opportunities to increase connectivity, in that case to fight tumors. Big ‘Thank you’ to the organizers!

Don’t miss a joint LUCC-LBIC-ZEISS-ACD seminar on visualization of gene expression and biomarker localization in 2D, 3D and 4D. 16th June, BMC, Lund.

🚨 We’re hiring a bioinformatics-focused PhD student for our ERC-funded project on recurrent GBM! Focus: tumor-supportive microenvironment 🔬 Experience with scRNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics & Python/R a plus. Must be self-motivated & driven. DM for details! Repost=❤️ lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund (BCF) is raising awareness and support: today it is #Fotbollströjefredagen (Football shirt Friday)

Join us for innovative explorations of the tumor microenvironment🔬 Learn cutting-edge technologies and grow in a dynamic environment💡 The postdoc will work alongside a doctoral student from @adaptmet.bsky.social, gaining access to collaborative partners across 🇪🇺.

We are proud to share that our PI has been named Cancer Researcher of the Year by @Cancerfonden! This well-deserved recognition highlights not only his outstanding contributions to cancer research but also his creativity in tackling scientific challenges and his inspiring leadership within our team.

🎉 Today, we gathered online for the #AdaptMet Kick-Off Meeting! A fantastic start to this journey, bringing together top researchers & partners to train the next generation of metastasis experts. Exciting discussions & collaborations ahead—stay tuned! 🔬✨ #CancerResearch

At the Brain Tumor Microenvironment Symposium @institutducerveau.bsky.social, Sebastian Braun presented our comprehensive study of pericytes in GBM 🤩. Pericytes act as guardians of the peri-vascular niche to prevent malignant cell invasion, read more at www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

@jessicapantaleo.bsky.social making us proud at the @lund-university.bsky.social Cancer Centre Tumor Microenvironment retreat by presenting our latest findings on CAF subtype spatial organization across longitudinally sampled experimental breast cancers.

Thanks @oncogenejournal for highlighting our work on cancer-associated fibroblasts that enable endocrine resistance in luminal breast cancer

Last chance to apply, call closes on Jan 17th!

We have been waiting impatiently but can finally share our latest efforts in understanding the biology of the TGF-beta type I receptor ALK1 (gene name ACVRL1), see graphical abstract in post and the full article here: www.jci.org/articles/vie...

The two Pietras labs @pietraslab.bsky.social @kpietraslab.bsky.social collide in a fierce game of Ping Pong. The losers fill all pipette tip boxes the next year 😜

Kristian Pietras @kpietraslab.bsky.social at Lund University @lunduniversity.bsky.social will oversee DC4 who will work on the suppression of metastatic dissemination through precision targeting of cancer-associated fibroblast niches

Come join us and @svanharanta.bsky.social @cedric-blanpain.bsky.social Roger Gomis @irbbarcelona.bsky.social @obenaufa.bsky.social Karin de Visser @nkinl.bsky.social @grauperalab.bsky.social @prat-aleix-md.bsky.social @vickysanzmoreno.bsky.social @johannajoyce.bsky.social @momobentires.bsky.social

We love to explore unexpected findings 🤔 Check out our two latest studies detailing the unexplored expression of ALK1 in immunosuppressive macrophages and the critical role of pericytes as a paracrine signaling hub in GBM.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Looking forward to exciting interactions with the cancer research community. We are students of tumor architecture, aiming to establish the organizational principles of the tumor microenvironment.
