I am delighted to be presenting two oral communications in the new ePoster flash sessions at #eccmid2023 in #copenhagen, Denmark.

Are you curious about some interesting SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks that happened in Luxembourg ?

The Tibetan Glacier Genome and Gene (TG2G) catalog includes 883 genomes and 2,358 metagenome-assembled genomes!
Incredible effort to preserve microbial genetic diversity and a record of evolution.

[Yolanda Afonso @YolandaAfonso]

@yahayayabo Thank you @yahayayabo, great team work!!!

[Yolanda Afonso @YolandaAfonso]

Happy to share my PhD findings published in @MolOncology
We provide insight on tumour-associated microglia/macrophage heterogeneity and highlight a novel role for Acod1 in TAM adaptation during GBM progression.
