Super happy to share that our paper is published in @Nature today! We've discovered how the breast is protected against tumor initiation—though it comes at a cost. 📰Read all about it here: bit.ly/3MSxoa1 🏥@vib_ccb @Onco_KULeuven @NKI_nl @vanRheenen_Lab @BenSimons_Lab
Thank you for having me, all made possible by the generous support from @FEBSnews!
@ColindaScheele (@vib_ccb) delivered a captivating keynote lecture at the FEBS Young Scientists’ Forum #YSF on cancer protection mechanisms in breast tissue, illustrated with stunning micrographs of mammary gland ‘trees’. #youngFEBS
📢Very excited to share this paper with you! The oestrous cycle stage affects mammary tumour sensitivity to chemotherapy published @Nature . Congratulations to Laura, @ColindaScheele and all the authors for this amazing story. nature.com/articles/s4158…
📢We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher 📢 Are your curious about the mechanisms driving metastatic spread? Do you have *bioinformatics* skills to help us unravel these mechanisms? We (@Bergerslab, @ColindaScheele) may have your dream job @VIB_CCB! jobso.id/k7cp

Scientific wonders happen when @vib_ccb and @NKI_nl meet. 🤝 Marta Ciwinska, Hendrik Messal, & Hristina Hristova & collaborators uncover the mechanisms that clear mutations drive field cancerization in #mammary tissue. @ColindaScheele @vanRheenen_Lab ✔️…
Thank you, @BiancastellaC, for this beautiful piece covering our work!! 👇👇
