📢Happy to see our recent review out in nature. Together with MarineLab we dissect the genetic and non-genetic mechanisms driving metastasis and explore potential avenues for intervention.
Amazing input from Nicholas McGranahan & James Black

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.

It is our absolute pleasure to host Chris Marine MarineLab on May 9th and learn about his pioneering science. A wonderful opportunity for trainees to meet him!

Today Sarah-Maria Fendt Fendt Lab CCB_VIB_KUL KU Leuven give super seminar at Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa hosted by Eduardo_Balsa on the metabolic vulnerabilties of cancer cells. Thank you Sarah for the visit!!

🔬 Schwann cells make the protective cover around our nerve cells, but sometimes they turn cancerous. Work by Anna Sablina, Tonči Ivanišević, and colleagues (CCB_VIB_KUL), now reveals a mutation involved in schwannoma. Read all about it in our blog! 👇
