Wetenschapper, vader, vogelaar / Scientist, dad, birder - Chemical Immunology @VerdoesLab @TIL_Radboudumc
My latest blog now online on the website of @vogelnieuws - vogelbescherming.nl/actueel/berich… How @Deceptiontours birding weekends on Vlieland let to come eye-to-eye with the Monkey-eating Eagle on the Philippines. (In Dutch, but maybe @ChatGPTapp is kind) @VerdoesM with a Pallid Swift
We are hiring! Join @VerdoesLab at the @LUMC_Leiden Immunology department to apply chemistry to pioneer the next generation cancer vaccines: linkedin.com/posts/oncode-a…
Very happy and grateful that our cover art has been selected for the September issue of @nchembio 🤩 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Our September issue is live! nature.com/nchembio/volum… The cover image by Petruzzella et al. depicts different non-natural peptide inhibitors bound to cathepsin S, representing a few possible outcomes of site saturation mutagenesis screening.
Great to see our probe have such great results in the phase II trial with @VergentBio. Check out the paper.
Phase 2 data published in @STS_CTsurgery journal @annalsthorsurg show VGT-309 may help surgeons see difficult-to-find and previously undetected tumors in real-time during #MIS and robotic-assisted surgery. bit.ly/4bNYCIE #TumorVisualization #LungCancer
Excited to announce that as of this week, the van Mierlo lab is officially open in the dpt. of Medical BioSciences, @RIMLSInstitute , @radboudumc Nijmegen. Quantitative (prote)omics, tumor immunology, and a bit of epigenetics. Exciting times ahead #newPI .
Do you have a PhD in chemistry, biomedical or biopharmaceutical sciences and experience (or interest) in immunology, then join our Oncode Accelerator Therapeutic Vaccines workstream as a postdoc: linkedin.com/posts/martijn-…
#ProudPI Great to see the technology developed together with @LabScheeren in the spotlights.
#BREAKING NEWS: Several group members are representing @VerdoesLab at #CIMT2024 @C_IMT in Mainz. Super proud of all of them and their great science! On top of that Zach received 'The 2024 CIMT Poster Award Improving Immunity'! Congrats Zach and team!!! 🥳 📸: Marjolein or Lea 😅
Live from the field. @VerdoesM just photographed this male Gough Bunting on Gough island in the middle of the southern Atlantic islands during the #AtlanticOdyssey. One of the remotest places on earth.(Just for fun, look it up!) #BirdsSeenin2024 #Gough #tristandacunha

Thanks @ACIR_org for highlighting Anouk's excellent work on tumor-induced DC3s! 🙏 @TIL_Radboudumc @radboudumc_weet
Becker et al. showed that patients with NSCLC had increased blood levels of CD1c+CD14+ DC3s expressing an immunosuppressive phenotype and reduced T cell stimulatory activity. bit.ly/3SsRqdr @TIL_Radboudumc

Thanks to @9NewsMelb for highlighting our study of VGT-309 with @StVincentsMelb, as we aim to help surgeons see difficult-to-find tumors in real time during surgery. Check out the story below! #lungcancer #innovation @msanto92
There's hope surgeons will soon be able to find and remove cancers with greater accuracy. A molecule is being tested in Melbourne which makes tumours glow green under infrared light. @msanto92 #9News
Phase II clinical trial data just reported for our covalent cathepsin probe by @VergentBio. Exciting! businesswire.com/news/home/2024…

1⃣We defined the metabolome of M-CSF- vs GM-CSF-differentiated human macrophages. 2⃣We discovered adenine to be more abundant in M-CSF macrophages. 3⃣Adenine suppressed inflammation and elicited metabolic quiescence Mechanism to be uncovered... ➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Lovely dinner last night with @VerdoesLab & friends. Such a privilege to work with this great team. 🙏


Save the date! The ICI Chemical Immunology Conference 2024 will take place on June 28th at Naturalis, Leiden, The Netherlands. Stay tuned for the program.
