Amazing scientific meeting in an amazing location! @caldaslab.bsky.social present.
@lautenbergc.bsky.social
@hebrewuniversity.bsky.social

Fantastic to have our paper:
www.cell.com/cell-reports...,
in this special issue of @cp-cellrepmed.bsky.social on #TME!
@kevinjtu.bsky.social from @caldaslab.bsky.social used deconvolution of bulk RNA expression to characterise the TME of 15,000 breast cancers!!

PREDICT is free and an extremely helpful clinical aid!
@paulpharoah.bsky.social deserves 👏

China’s new scientist visa is a ‘serious bid’ for the world’s top talent The country is easing migration for young researchers to boost its competitiveness in artificial intelligence, robotics and new materials.

'China has introduced a visa that will allow young foreign researchers in STEM to move there without having to secure a job first.
Before the introduction of the K visa, most foreign STEM researchers hoping to move to China had to find a job in advance and then apply for a work visa.'

My poor laptop wishes I learned how to use the cluster earlier, but it’s sacrifice was not in vain! We learned some important things about the breast cancer tumor microenvironment, described in our paper published today:

Man; @typst.app is so good! That's all; that's the skeet.

Wonder if it's just the COVID vaccine, might the flu or zoster vaccine also work?

One of the most rewarding things is when one of your students graduates with a PhD! Congratulations to Dr @allanlui.bsky.social! @caldaslab.bsky.social rejoices!!

An enormous honour! Thank you @embo.org and @helloeacr.bsky.social!
This talk was only possible because of the amazing talent of @caldaslab.bsky.social and past #Caldasians!

@carloscaldas1960.bsky.social and the Caldasians will always #KeepResearchCurious and never stop doing good science!

#EACR2025
@helloeacr.bsky.social

Riccardo Masina a junior Academic Clinical Fellow that has not even started his PhD giving an oral presentation at #EACR2025! Thank you @helloeacr.bsky.social! @caldaslab.bsky.social is made of young scientific superstars! Walking the walk on ML to find predictors of drug responses!

Extraordinary #EACR2025! Who could have guessed this number of exhibitors 5-10 years ago?! @helloeacr.bsky.social is doing amazingly well! So proud to be a Board member!

Outstanding talk by @hrazaalilab.bsky.social! @caldaslab.bsky.social delighted to be walking the walk together with him and @paulpharoah.bsky.social!

@caldaslab.bsky.social and ##Caldasians at #EACR2025! Walking the walk!

snDNAseq of 40,000 cells from 140 tumors from #METABRIC. @mauriziocallari.bsky.social and @sc10021.bsky.social will soon write a major papers from this work! @caldaslab.bsky.social continues to produce outstanding science!

@allanlui.bsky.social has discovered a synthetic lethal hit for ER+ breast cancer driven by ZNF703 amplification! Major stuff! @caldaslab.bsky.social walking the walk!

With @paulpharoah.bsky.social- a great friend and amazing collaborator! Also @stephensammut.bsky.social another super star! What @scicambridge.bsky.social has lost...

Excited to be sharing the culmination of my PhD work at #EACR2025!

The support of everyone @caldaslab.bsky.social over the past 5 years and @carloscaldas1960.bsky.social was what made this possible!

Outstanding work! @idoamitlab.bsky.social rocks! Congratulations

@yardenasamuels.bsky.social opening #EACR2025! Amazing grace! @eacr.org is very lucky to have Yardena as its president!

Excellent presentation from Carla Oliveira on HDGC. Fantastic to see one of my first PhD students now a world leader in her work. #Caldasians rock #EACR2025! @caldaslab.bsky.social

#EACR2025 has started! Now João Barata from @gimmfoundation.bsky.social! @helloeacr.bsky.social rocks!

I am excited to share the latest publication from the Nguyen, Caldas @carloscaldas1960.bsky.social and Rueda labs @ruedalab.bsky.social. This was a massive effort from a fantastic team and I’m grateful to everyone on the paper for their work on this project! doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...
#bcsm #PDTX

Incredible study lead by @nguyenlab.bsky.social showing the potential of an in vivo system capable of robustly tracing the lineages of individual cells as they propagate in a #PDX tumour!

Very happy to have been able to contribute to this herculean effort, and can't wait to see what comes next!

Cambridge University’s Staff Culture Survey - 21percent.org In January 2024, Cambridge University carried out a Staff Culture Survey. All academics, professional service staff, researchers and technical support were canvassed and invited to respond to question...

"I am satisfied with how bullying and harassment are addressed in my department … 27 %"

Just 27% !fu@c$!

Many results from Cambridge Uni's Staff Survey are beyond the beyond

The kind of things you'd put in the ‘no way’ file. Except it's happening now

Couldn't agree more! Dismantling the NIH is an utter travesty

To biomedical scientists in the rest of the world, it sends a clear message: Your talents are not wanted here.

Losing the ability to attract the best and the brightest will be the death of American scientific exceptionalism
