Beautiful talk by @obenaufa.bsky.social at #THPT25 — first walking us through the key conclusions of her latest Nature paper, then offering a glimpse into the next chapter of her work unravelling the mysteries of drug tolerant persistent cells. Looking forward to see where this story goes next!

Continuing the interesting talks at VIB #THPT25. Leanne Li discussed the heterogeneity and metabolic interplay in SCLC, showing that survival increases when blocking electrical activity in neuroendocrine cells. Great example of how fundamental insights can give rise to new therapeutic approaches!

After an insightful morning focused on metastasis, we open the afternoon with a mindblowing talk of Jennifer Wargo. She discussed how microbiota can influence immunotherapy responses and the impact of fibers. To say it in her words: "The issue is in the tissue and the scoop is in the poop!" #THPT25

Last day of #THPT25 — and definitely not the least! Captivating talk by Celine Valot from the Curie Institute, spotlighting her research on how epigenomic changes in luminal cells contribute to the early onset of breast cancer. An inspiring highlight as we continue through the day!

Always proud to see our lab so well represented at a conference! Our PhD researchers Lize and Alicia, along with Postdoc Federica, presented their work during the poster sessions. Come meet them to get the latest updates on our research at #THPT25!

🚨 New paper alert: We developed a patient-relevant orthotopic mouse #lungcancer model and combined SEPARATE-Seq together with targeted #spatialtranscriptomics to map the immune landscape and uncovered important specialized immune niches. Read it here 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One week left to register for the FEBS Advanced Course on Tumour Microenvironment: From Tumour Heterogeneity to Therapy Resistance. which will be held in May 4-8, 2026, in Crete! 🧑‍🔬 🧪 🔬 There is an excellent line up of internationally recognized speakers! tumourmicroenvironment2026.febsevents.org

Curious about MATRACs and their potential in cancer therapy? Check out this short video poster pitch from our PostDoc Federica at #THPT25 to learn how this emerging approach could make a difference! www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

What an excellent way to kick of the #THPT25 conference! Keynote Johanna Joyce showed her latest insights in the complexity of the TME and talked about her promising results on preventing scar formation in brain cancer to reduce relapse and improve survival. @vibtrainconf.bsky.social

The Tumor Heterogeneity, Plasticity and Therapy Conference #THPT25 is almost here!⏰Registration closes Nov 26th vibbio.tech/THPT25. Don't miss this chance to hear more from Leanne Li (The Francis Crick Institute, UK) who focuses on combining cancer biology and neuroscience @leanneli.bsky.social
