Check out our new toy, BamQuery:

[Gregory Ehx @EhxGregory]

BamQuery is a software tool that enables the identification of safe and immunogenic MHC-I targets for the development of anti-cancer #immunotherapies and #mRNA_vaccines.

⚠️ Many published targets could be unsafe! ⚠️

Why should we use it? A thread🧵:

[Gregory Ehx @EhxGregory]

Thank you very much to the yBIS for inviting me as a keynote speaker to their annual congress. It has been a true delight to present you our work and I look forward to attend next year's meeting!

[Young Belgian Immunological Society @yBIS_BE]

Identification 🔎 of actionable targets 🎯 against #AML, @EhxGregory tells us all about it during his keynote at the #yBIS annual meeting

[Young Belgian Immunological Society @yBIS_BE]

For our #CancerImmunology session, @EhxGregory will talk about the "Identification of actionable targets for the development of immunotherapies against AML" #yBIS2024

If I have to give one PhD advice it will always be: pick a good supervisor!
I have been so stressed trying to write this last paper of my thesis and today, one 30 mns meeting with my supervisor and I am already half way through it.
Remember: pick a good supervisor! #PhDlife

@OdedRechavi Let's go explain this to funding agencies 😁

[Gregory Ehx @EhxGregory]

Maybe time to rethink the way we evaluate grant proposals?

[Dr. Mirela G. Tulbure 🛰 🌎 + 🐍 + 🌊 @MirelaGTulbure]

Do grant proposal texts matter for funding decisions? A field experiment

Spoiler alert...NO!

The biggest myth about creativity is that it cannot be learned - either you have it or you don’t..
But psychologists have shown that creativity is linked with 'openness to experience' which increases with cultural activities, new hobbies, mental challenges and becoming awestruck.

Another example of how cryopreservation can bias our work... We need to find an affordable method to cryopreserve cells without altering their viability or phenotype 🤔

[Waggoner Lab @LabWaggoner]

Cryopreservation protocols optimized for T cells kill ~75% of NK cells w/in 24 h of thaw due to leakage of GzmB from vesicles. This is prevented by IL15/IL-18 pretreatment to ⬆️antiapoptotic genes & deplete gzmB containing granules [Berjis & Sheppard]

How do you define creativity?

When asked, medicine laureate Susumu Tonegawa had an inspiring reply.

Tonegawa was awarded the 1987 medicine prize "for his discovery of the genetic principle for generation of antibody diversity."

❤️ 12.239.019,49€ au compteur du @televie 2024 ! Une générosité une fois encore exceptionnelle ! Grâce à vos dons, les chercheuses et chercheurs vont pouvoir continuer à améliorer la compréhension du cancer et ouvrir la voie à de nouvelles pistes thérapeutiques.

[Gregory Ehx @EhxGregory]

Delighted to share that our latest article is now published in @LeukemiaJnl! Great work by the fantastic @nanditanoronha👍

We show that azacitidine should be combined with autophagy inhibitors to promote the immune recognition of leukemic cells in #AML🧐
