And guess what?
You don’t need to be a meta-analyst to start learning.
There’s an amazing free workshop coming up hosted by the Berlin Institute of Health & CAMARADES Berlin:
🗓️ May 26–28
⏰ 1–5pm CET (online)
I’ll be attending, and you can too!

✨Most of us learn how to design experiments.
But how often are we taught to synthesize what already exists?
I’ve recently been exploring #SystematicReview of preclinical studies, and I truly believe more researchers should too.
Here’s why…

3/ In breast cancer metastasis models, Brd7 loss reactivates dormant metastatic cells in the lung, leading to aggressive tumor growth. But it’s not just about the tumor cells—the immune microenvironment also shifts dramatically.

2/ The study focuses on Brd7, a subunit of the PBAF chromatin remodeling complex. This complex regulates DNA accessibility, influencing how cancer cells behave in new tissues. But what happens when Brd7 is lost?

1/ Metastasis can stay dormant for years before reactivating and becoming lethal. But what wakes them up? A new study uncovers a fascinating mechanism involving epigenetics and immune suppression. Let’s break it down! 🧵

Practicing a surgical technique to study metastasis🔬🐭

🧵1/ I’m practicing a technique used for intravital imaging, which allows us to track tumor cells as they invade, disseminate, and survive in distant organs. A game-changer for #metastasis #research. Thanks Dr. @dentenberg.bsky.social!

🔬 Metastatic Breast Cancer: Are We Truly Advancing?

Yesterday, I attended an insightful talk by Dr. @stolaney1.bsky.social from @danafarber.bsky.social on the latest treatments for ER+ MBC. And my conclusions were… While research reveals complex tumor phenotypes, single-cell profiles, and... (1/5)

✨ Certificates from 2020, but lessons for a lifetime! ✨

Today, I want to share two courses that shaped my journey: "Introduction to the Biology of Cancer" and "Understanding Cancer Metastasis". Through them, I discovered my true path in research. 🧵1/4
