Very proud to share our discoveries about metabolic intra-tumor heterogeneity and metastasis! “PHDGDH heterogeneity potentiating cancer cell dissemination and metastasis” is now out in Nature go.nature.com/3NnLQEZ. Thanks to Fendt Lab and coauthors, fantastic teamwork!

Even with a little bit of rain, the first edition of the VIB Beachvolley Tournament organized by the PhD Association from CCB_VIB_KUL and VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research was a great succes! 🏐Congrats to all the organizers and to Verstreken Lab for winning the first price! 🥇🏆

Are GBM cell states defined by lipid metabolism? We find that GBM tumors are heterogeneous in their fatty acid metabolism and modulating fatty acid metabolism sensitizes them to TMZ. Big congratulations to Sweta Parik & Juan Fernández-García! #proudPI bit.ly/3SpQWmx

First last-author publication from our star postdoc @alteam_patricia! Congratulations, Patricia, Yawen and Anke! bit.ly/3DVoFAC #proudPI Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCAA) #BeugFondation

Check out the latest discoveries about how metabolites and the metabolic environment can modulate oncogenic signaling via PTMs in our last mini-review! Great job by Anke Vandekeere #Yawen and a privilege for me to co-lead for the 1st time with Fendt Lab bit.ly/3DVoFAC

Very happy to share our new findings! Big congratulations to @alteam_patricia - always a real pleasure to work together!

Past week, I had the honor to learn from the great scientists in the Aznar-Benitah Lab at the IRB Barcelona in Barcelona! Many thanks to Fendt Lab and Aznar-Benitah Lab for this wonderful opportunity and looking forward to create more great science together!

It's so cool that nature sees single-cell metabolomics 👀 as a technology to watch in 2023: nature.com/articles/d4158… 🤩 Here there are some points about this emerging and exciting technology 1/5 🧵

Congratulations! It was amazing to contribute a small part to this great study! Also congratulations to Anke Vandekeere and Melanie Planque from Fendt Lab!

Amazing research from @alteam_patricia on lipid priming of the pre-metastatic niche boosting NFkB signaling in metastasizing cancer cells! go.nature.com/3JTQBb5 Many thanks to all lab members, our collaborators ilaria Malanchi Christine Desmedt #UriBenDavid Grünewald Lab ...

Congratulations, Mitsugu Shimobayashi and Michael Hall and all coauthors including Anke Vandekeere and Melanie Planque from Fendt Lab

Our review is online at Trends in Biochemical Sciences! We discuss the metabolic cross-talk between cancer cells and T cells, and how this cross-talk impairs anti-tumorigenic T cells and favors pro-tumorigenic T cells.

Fantastic short talk by ⁦Anke Vandekeere⁩ at the International Liver Metastasis Research Network! ⁦FWO⁩ ⁦CCB_VIB_KUL⁩ ⁦Ilaria Elia⁩

🤸The PhD Associations of CCB and VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research organised a lovely beach volleyball tournament this weekend! 🏐 Thank you to the organisation and congratulations Verstreken Lab team with your victory 🏆
