Are exhausted T cells functionless? Absolutely not! We found that dysfunctional T cells are key initiators of early tissue responses to PD-1 blockade and equipped to rapidly regain anti-tumor function via restoration of translational control. See new preprint from the lab led by Paulien Kaptein

Congratulations @jacqjacobs.bsky.social @riklindeboom.bsky.social @danielathommen.bsky.social on receiving a ZonMw open competition

Very proud of our postdoc @christinamt.bsky.social @nkinl.bsky.social who was awarded an EACR-Mark Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship! Congratulations to the other awardees and thanks to @helloeacr.bsky.social and @themarkfdn.bsky.social for this fantastic support!

Well done to the first recipients of the EACR-Mark Foundation postdoc fellowships 🎉🎊

And a happy coincidence that all three awardees are women scientists in the labs of three women PIs 🙌

🎬 Fantastic start to #ESMOImmuno24 with ESMO-SITC primer. Highlighting challenges of IO biomarker discovery:

🔴 Heterogeneity in data, samples and assay types
🧬 Need for cross-study harmonisation & tailored composite biomarkers
💊 Neoadj. trials & PDTF’s offer opportunities for biomarker discovery!
