A genetic variant of PCSK9 promotes breast cancer metastasis and worsens survival by repressing LRP1. Anti-PCSK9 antibodies suppress metastasis @CellCellPress. Teamwork and amazing mentoring by @wenbin_mei and @SohailTavazoie#tavazoielab 🎉
EXCITED to share my PhD work in @CellCellPress. We found that the chance of developing metastasis is partly decided by the DNA we inherited. We identified a germline variant in PCSK9 present in 70% of the white women conferring higher risk of breast cancer metastasis. (1/9)
No stepper, no grid - testing the so-called ‚freehand-freehand’ method with @bk_Medical for MRI/US fusion-guided transperineal biopsy in prostate cancer diagnostics.
Happy to present initial results of C. Fuhrmann and @NNHarke‘s study on the use of a novel drop-in gamma probe in robot-assisted radioguided radical prostatectomy of localized prostate cancer at the Nordkongress Urologie 2023! ☢️ 🤖 💥
Finishing my year as research student at @RockefellerUniv and TavazoieLab to understand how the microenvironment of solid tumors support metastasis progress. Thanks to @SohailTavazoie and German Foundation @studienstiftung for the dedicated mentoring and the financial
support.
Six months since publication on the function of these fascinating biliary brush cells. What other cells can already taste bacteria and then trigger an immune response? 🦠 https://t.co/jfRW7ZDXGd
