Super excited to share our latest review article, just out in @nature, in which we discuss how genetic and non-genetic processes act in concert to drive the metastatic cascade, and new putative avenues to intercept this lethal process.

Abstracts are your paper's first impression.

A weak abstract can sink even the best research.

Many thanks for the invitation. It was amazing, with very exciting science Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa, brainstorming with great colleagues and catching up with a Fendt Lab alumni!

Amazing rapid autopsy program by Christine Desmedt and her lab. Many thanks 🙏

Her five lessons:
1. Collaboration & diversity foster creativity
2. Excellence requires being excited
3. Ideas need to be explained well
4. Research is a process
5. Data sharing results in societal impact

Great start to #MSCA2024BE 'Researchers' careers: multiple pathways' conference. Really inspiring keynote speech from Fendt Lab 'research paths to insight' highlighting 5 lessons learnt from an international career.

RIP Lubert Stryer - his Biochemistry was my first college textbook, a gift from the lab where I had a summer job

It was amazing & a great honor to speak at the plenary session of the AACR annual meeting. Many thanks to the chair ⁦Cyrus Ghajar⁩ & the other speakers #ChristophKlein #DanaPe ’er #DavidLyden ⁦VIB⁩ ⁦CCB_VIB_KUL⁩ ⁦KU Leuven⁩ ⁦Department of Oncology - KU Leuven⁩

In today’s #AACR24 plenary session, Sarah-Maria Fendt, PhD, (Fendt Lab) presents on aggressivenes of metastasis as a function of metabolite signaling. This research highlights that dissecting and targeting #cancer cell aggressiveness may provide therapeutic options against

Many thanks to Cancer Discovery for inviting this review and the amazing #AACR annual meeting. Congratulations to Sarah Krieg Sara Fernandes #MingLiu and #ConstantinosKolliopoulos

Happy to share this new #CancerHallmarks review in Cancer Discovery out today for Fendt Lab’s #AACR24 plenary!

I am very honored to receive the #AACR Outstanding Achievement in Basic Cancer Research Award. Many thanks to all present & former members of my amazing team, our collaborators and all patients! Lectures Monday 5:30pm room 14 & Tuesday 8:55am plenary hall G/H.

Research on metastatic cancer is limited by access to metastatic samples. We shed light on how rapid autopsy programs are organised & on their challenges & opportunities to enhance research. Team work🤝, patients & their families are central🙏. OncoAlert

Full-house, a bit of sun and a lot of great science ☀️

Thanks to everyone making our #CCBScienceRetreat a huge success yesterday!

📢🚨📢!ALERT!📢🚨📢

TWO DAYS LEFT to submit an abstract for a talk at the 2024 Cancer Metabolism Showcase and Workshops.

All talks are given by non-faculty and chosen from abstract submissions.

Register and submit an abstract at:
cancermetabolismshowcase.org

Honestly this is probably the single best advice for making it through grad school or a postdoc as well. Just get stuff done. It may feel smart to critique things well, it may even be useful, but ultimately you are judged on what you've gotten done

ALERT ! One month left before abstract submission for Annual meeting of ISCaM -International Society for Cancer Metabolism.
Join us in Brussels, 3-5 July 2024 ! See program and information at iscam2024.org
Amazing lineup of speakers:
MVH Lab Marcia Haigis HoLab DeNicola Lab Lyssiotis Lab Ben-Sahra Lab

Today we are happy to welcome Zeynep Koçberber as a new PhD student in the lab.
