Gracias a Alejandro López y a @elpaismexico.bsky.social por cubrir nuestro último estudio en #melanoma #acral, realizado estudiando pacientes mexicanos 🇲🇽

Con @pbasurto.bsky.social y @christianmolinaag.bsky.social en portada, investigadores clave en este estudio 🤓💻🧬🧫

Here, we study #acral #melanoma tumours from Mexican patients. We find a correlation between BRAF mutation rate and European ancestry, and a potential different cell of origin (c-mel melanocytes) for BRAF-activated tumours compared to a v-mel cell of origin for non-BRAF mutated tumours.

Es el turno de @ken-cramz.bsky.social! Una presentación super dinámica sobre su proyecto dilucidando el mecanismo de generación de variantes estructurales del genoma en #melanoma #acral 🧬💻 @liigh-unam.bsky.social #DiasAcademicos2026

Now @christianmolinaag.bsky.social, star technician at our lab @liigh-unam.bsky.social, is telling us about the #acral #melanoma models 🧫🐁 he has been developing with the wet lab team #LIIGHColloquium2025

Just presented in our findings on #acral #melanoma in Mexico 🇲🇽 on #ESMO2025, and we had amazing presentations by Melissa Davies, Nyasha Chambwe and Marzia del Re on the importance of #diversity in #cancer research. Happy to see Sara from @melanomaresearch.bsky.social there!! @myesmo.bsky.social

We have a new preprint out! Led by brilliant PhD student @estefvazquez.bsky.social. here we investigate through transcriptomics and proteomics the microenvironment of ulcerated #acral #melanoma 👇🏾

I was next - I gave my talk! I covered our work on the genomics of #acral #melanoma in Mexico 🇲🇽 @sangerinstitute.bsky.social #IFR2025. Thanks to Fer and Rebe for taking photos ☺️

The first talk of the @sangerinstitute.bsky.social International Fellows is by @patriciapossik.bsky.social 🇧🇷, who is telling us about her research at INCA on #acral #melanoma #IFR2025

On #RareDiseaseDay, @melanomaresearch.bsky.social is holding a meeting to look at the first results from the #RARE repository for patients of rare melanomas (e.g. #acral, #mucosal). Data will be used to understand #risk factors, #biomarkers & treatment effectiveness. Check it out at RareMelanoma.org

Now our own PhD student Paty Basurto is talking about her project on #acral #melanoma #genomics in 🇲🇽 and her findings regarding genomic subtypes - you can read all about her work here

#Chemotherapy-induced #acral #erythema. In plain english, #Hand-Foot #Syndrome caused by the #chemotreatments. my hands arent having the issue yet, but I might be running into an issue with my feet, they are getting drier and rough...which isnt good.
