@zarnazhadi @DiMeN_DTP Welcome to the group @zarnazhadi! 😊

[Brain Metastasis Research Group @Lorgerlab]

One of our current PhD students @Scott_R_Gregory is part of the @DiMeN_DTP, so please get in contact if you have any questions about the DTP.

[Brain Metastasis Research Group @Lorgerlab]

The @lorgerlab is looking to recruit a new PhD student to work on an exciting project investigating molecular determinants of resistance to immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma brain metastases based at the @LIMR as part of the @DiMeN_DTP. Details below.

Another fantastic selection of talks in the highlights from the preclinical abstracts session at #EANO21.
It was an absolute pleasure to co-chair the session with Michael Weller. Lots of great data and discussions. Well done to all the presenters! @EANOassociation

[Scott Gregory @Scott_R_Gregory]

Excellent talk from Lena Hänsch from @Unispital_USZ on the development of a CD317-specific CAR T cell. Some very nice data so far!

Day 2 of #EANO2021 -please visit @vwcheng at his poster (P14.70) titled ‘BMScope: A systematic mapping review of brain/leptomeningeal metastasis clinical studies from 2010 to 2020’. Looks like a great one to check out in the poster session today!

[Christopher M Fife @C_M_Fife]

Fantastic keynote talks by @burkhard_becher and @Johanna_A_Joyce at the #EANO2021 meeting. Highlighting intracranial intratumoral macrophages and microglia. @EANOassociation

Excellent oral presentations in the keynote session today at #EANO2021 by @BecherLab @joycelab, @PoliAurelie, Yu-Chan Chih @Platten_lab, @r_sankowski, and @C_M_Fife!
It was an absolute pleasure to co-chair this session with the outstanding @platten_michael! @EANOassociation.

[Brain Metastasis Research Group @Lorgerlab]

Looking forward to attending the #EANO2021 conference. My group will be showcasing our exciting work on immune cells and melanoma brain metastases!
