Third year of celebrating Chinese New Year in the lab π§§πβ¨A slightly belated celebration this time, but no less festive
Many thanks to Christina for bringing it all together, and to Eli for hosting
Happy Year of the Horse π΄β¨
Itβs a wrap! π
Well done to Bavat, Ron, and Christina for excellent talks and posters, fantastic representation of the lab ππ»

Excited to share our study @CellCellPress introducing a novel class of macrophage-targeted immunocytokines (MiTEs) that engage myeloid, T and NK cells to boost anti-tumor immunity in solid tumors. Led by @MVLocquenghien, @PascaleZwicky & @CuriousKX (1/16)

We're proud to share that the Weizmann Institute of Science has been ranked 6th in the world in the 2025 @cwtsleiden Ranking - a jump of four places from the 2024 ranking and our highest position since the ranking was introduced some two decades ago >> https://t.co/YNbQnHGe0S
Weizmann Institute researchers reveal that the nervous system can sense fat tissue and that blocking this ability protects mice from metabolic disorders >>

We're so proud of our PhD student Elisheva Berent-Barzel for receiving an honorable mention for the 2025 Student Award for Volunteering and Diversity Promotion!
We admire your dedication β to both science and community ππ
Great Preview by Dr. Tseng et al. on our back-to-back studies with the Patapoutian lab in Cell Metabolism! Both reveal how PIEZO2+ sensory neurons regulate fat by inhibiting sympathetic outputβshedding light on adipose tissue surveillance & metabolism.
