Happy to see another of our amazing postdocs - Dr. Spencer Watson - featured in this video with one of his presentations for @BrainTumourOrg Spencer is finishing up a brilliant postdoc with us soon @Joycelab, and is on the job market...🤩 @DrSpencerWatson
@DrSpencerWatson is one of our researchers working @OncoUNILCHUV in Switzerland. His research focusses on improving treatments for #glioblastoma - one of the most aggressive brain tumours. He aims to understand how the tumours withstand treatment & find new ways to overcome this.
Delighted to see one of our amazing postdocs - Dr. Leire Bejarano - giving a series of talks across Spain as she gets ready to start her own lab 🤩 She will definitely be one to watch for future students and postdocs - a great scientist and mentor!! @BejaranoLeire @ASEICAnews
Today at CIPF Dr. Leire Bejarano seminar about vascular alterations in brain tumors, the mechanisms used by tumor cells to metastasize to the brain, and the processes underlying tumor vascularization in primary and metastatic #brain #tumors. #metastasis #vasculature
Check out this great feature interviewing early-career researchers at Ludwig - including Ángel Álvarez-Prado, a senior postdoc @Joycelab 🤩 ludwigcancerresearch.org/ludwig-link/ap…
In the Spring 2024 issue of the Ludwig Link three early-career researchers—two in grad school, one all set to start his own lab—put down their pipettes to chat with us about themselves, their research and various other matters. bit.ly/ll24s
Thanks also to my PI @Johanna_A_Joyce for her guidance throughout the PhD and all members of the @Joycelab for all their help with the divers projects. I think we made a great team!
