Thrilled to announce that our review on the pivotal role of mechanics in immunosurveillance in cancer and other diseases has just been published in @NatureNano ! Had a great time collaborating with Weilin Li, @VMittelheisser, @VGensbittel and @GoetzJacky!

[Li Tang @Tang_Lab_EPFL]

Hot off the press! Are you wondering how mechanics govern immune responses in the context of immunotherapy and vaccines? A nice review/perspective by my students, Lucia Bonati, Weilin Li @HatarakuTSaibou, together with the @GoetzJacky group!

[Li Tang @Tang_Lab_EPFL]

We are hiring! A full-time postdoctoral position in cancer immunotherapy and immunoengineering for an Innosuisse project is immediately available in the Tang lab (https://t.co/GKVoEFOdVL) at EPFL, Switzerland. pl contact me ([email protected]). pl spread the word. Thanks!

The @befcorreia lab at @epflSV in Lausanne, Switzerland is looking for a lab technician! It’s a really fun and beautiful place to work, highly recommended! https://t.co/ODeedmJ3lI

[Bruno Correia @befcorreia]

Our last explorations with MaSIF and surface fingerprints for the computational design of de novo protein-protein interactions ! A lot of hard work from Pablo, @AKVanHall, Sarah, Andrea, Anthony, @mmbronstein and collaborators

Thanks for highlighting our recent work! "... the softness of cancer cells impairs the mechanics at the synapse, conferring the cells with resistance to T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity...‘mechanical immune checkpoint’ could be therapeutically targeted by stiffening cancer cells"

[Lucia Bonati @LBonati]

Excited to have been part of this great piece of work now published in @natBME! We showed how cancer cell stiffness can modulate T cell efficacy. Congrats to @LeiKewen and @ArmandKurum, and all authors!

Our lab's new paper (https://t.co/rlaQP5YZPe) is now out at @NatBME. We discovered that cancer cells lower their cortical stiffness, which impedes T cell-mediated cytotoxicity by decreasing T cell force at the immune synapse (https://t.co/S7Yom3S3vu) (1/)

[Li Tang @Tang_Lab_EPFL]

We are looking to recruit a postdoc in cancer immunology. The position is immediately available. See details here https://t.co/RdzEI09et2. Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks a lot for RT!

[Li Tang @Tang_Lab_EPFL]

Glad to contribute to this special issue. Thanks editors and reviewers. Congrats @LBonati!

Our lab's new paper (https://t.co/AGux9TqbJ2) on metabolic reprogramming of exhausted CD8+ T cells is now out at @natureimmunology, highlighted as a cover story! (1/7)
