📢 We have a new episode out for you now!
Brenda and Jason speak with Dr. Daniel Peeper (@d_peeper) at @NKI_nl about the use of function-based, #genome-wide screens to develop concepts for rational combinatorial #cancer treatment.

🙏 Huge thanks to everyone involved - postdocs, PhD students, bioinformaticians, technicians, internship students and collaborators.
👏 I’m incredibly proud that this long-term team effort led to a discovery that may help us better harness the immune system to fight cancer.
Our new paper is out in Nature - online today!
Huge congrats to shared first authors Sofía Ibáñez-Molero & Johanna Veldman, the whole team & all collaborators.

🚀 What’s next?
We aim to:
• Develop a clinical-proof procedure to specifically isolate T cell clusters from tumors
• Test them in clinical trials to improve TIL therapy
• Explore how the unique features of these clusters can inspire new immunotherapy strategies.
@SocietyMelanoma Research Congress 2025!!
Here we go!
President #LizPatton and local organized @d_peeper welcoming participants, which we are now are large family of #melanoma researchers.
State-of-the-art talks, posters, meet the expert, awards… so exciting
💙 My most special selfie ever!!!
Really blessed with friends that dedicate so much thought and effort to surprising you like this as a keynote speaker.
Thanks @d_peeper for this composite and all at @SocietyMelanoma for making this field so unique scientifically and personally!
