What happens when the EU-LIFE community comes together in one place?
Last week in Amsterdam, we exchanged ideas, explored collaboration opportunities and aligned on key issues shaping European research.
Thank you to @nkinl.bsky.social for the warm hospitality!

New PRECISION consortium research maps early DNA changes in DCIS, pointing to SHOREs and ecDNA as possible signs of more aggressive evolution.

Powerful tools are uncovering the โcontrol knobsโ of the genome; accelerating how we identify regulatory DNA and even opening the door to rewriting gene expression.
Great to see this momentum in the field, including the work of @basvansteensellab.bsky.social

Predicting progression from ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive breast cancer remains challenging. Here, deep whole genome sequencing of DCIS samples highlights possibilities for personalized ...
๐ Thanks to new treatments like immunotherapy, patients have better outcomes and live longer. That, argues PhD candidate Mees Egeler, makes it even more important to focus on their quality of life.
By accelerating the identification of DNA sequences that control gene expression, assays are revealing the hidden grammar of the regulatory genome โ and giving scientists the means to rewrite it.
๐ Congratulations to Michiel Vermeulen @michielvermeulen.bsky.social on his election to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences @knaw-nl.bsky.social
His pioneering work on epigenetic regulation is advancing our understanding of cancer and informing new therapeutic strategies.
