Eleonore Toufektchan works on elucidating how TREX1 activity facilitates chromosomally unstable cancer cells to escape from anti-tumor immunity and immune checkpoint blockade therapies. @Maciejowskilab

One of the best things about lab is working with great scientists like Eleonore Toufektchan!

Eleonore Toufektchan is so talented in and out of the lab!!!

Happy national post doc week to our lab mom Eleonore Toufektchan 🥰🥰🥰

And here are some of the embroideries and sculptures Eleonore Toufektchan have done! Thanks for sharing your artistic side with us! For more of her work, check Eleonore's instagram account: @eleonore_stitches

An👩‍🎨 as much as a👩‍🔬. For #NPAW2022 meet #MSKPostdoc Eleonore Toufektchan from the @Maciejowskilab. Eleonore Toufektchan is studying how the protein TREX1 helps cancer cells resist immune checkpoint blockade therapy & anti-tumor immunity.🇫🇷

Thank you for highlighting my work as a postdoc for #NPAW2022 !!!

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center & the Tri-I community let's continue celebrating MSKPDA this #NPAW2022 ! Join us Thursday, 9/22, 10am-5pm for our Annual #MSKPostdocs Research Symposium. The day will include 12 oral talks, a poster session (yes! posters are back!) & a keynote by @nogaleslab.

#NPAW2022 is only a weekend away, and so many phenomenal researchers to meet. Introducing today #MSKPostdoc Alessandra Brambati (@ale_brambati) from the Agnel Sfeir lab. Ale studies an ancient DNA🧬 repair pathway, called MMEJ, that drives chromosomal rearrangements in tumors. 🇮🇹

When your gel runs weird

Great talks and posters at #Aneuploidy22 : aneuploidy and cancer treatment, KIF18A, cGAS/STING, cell size and DNA damage, aneuploidy addiction, chromoplexy, and more. Angelika Amon would love it.

For #NPAW2022 #ThursdayMotivation meet #MSKPostdoc Natalia Herrero Alvarez (Natalia Herrero Alvarez) from the Lewis Lab MSKCC.
Natalia develops imaging agents for targeted diagnosis and therapy of cancer. Clinical translation is the ultimate goal of her research.

#MSKPostdoc Thomas Walle (Thomas Walle) from the dana_peer lab uses #computational methods to define how tumors shape immune cells. His dream is to establish technologies that define cells at high resolution as diagnostics to intercept tumorigenesis & metastasis. 🇪🇺 #NPAW2022

#NPAW2022 #TuesdayTrivia : what 🎹,🏎️&🎨 have in comment? They help & inspire #MSKPostdoc Mariam George (Mariam Mathew George) from the Jedd Wolchok/Taha lab with her research- developing #vaccines & other therapies by combining #chemotherapy & #immunotherapy to boost tumor control. 🇮🇳

Kicking off the #NPAW2022 (month) - meet Tao Li (Tao Li 李涛) from the Scott Keeney lab.
Tao utilizes multidisciplinary approaches to understand mechanisms of meiotic recombination between X and Y chromosomes during male meiosis using the 🐁 model.
#China 🇨🇳

Today, in 'What sorcery is this?':

'Here, we introduce Live-seq, a technology that keeps the cell alive after transcriptome profiling by using a cytoplasmic biopsy.'

2022 National Postdoc Appreciation Week ( #NPAW2022 ) is coming on 9/19. A week is never enough for us to celebrate our remarkable #MSKPostdocs (MSKPDA), so we dedicate the entire month of September to them 🥳
Stay tuned to learn about our outstanding scientists Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Bohemian rhapsody for postdocs:

Is this a real job?
Or more like a PhD?
Caught in short contracts
No chance of stability

Open your eyes
Look up to PIs and see
I'm just a postdoc
I get no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Stress is high
Pay is low

Wonderful words that are true to the great scientist and human Michel Bornens was. I had the chance to work with him during my PhD at Institut Curie and will never forget this experience.
