If you are attending #EACR2026 in Budapest, come by Room F1+2+3 at 2:30PM to hear how chromatin architecture regulates cell identity and oncogene expression in acute T cell leukemia

So excited to see this article in the press! A fruitful collaboration between our team at @NYUGSOM_Path and the Chiang lab @UMichMedSchool to uncover the transcriptional networks of high risk #leukemia. You can read the full story here: https://t.co/5FwHuSB8Rt

Out today @JExpMed our collaboration with Mark Chiang and his group (@UMichMedSchool ) on novel transcriptional circuits defining cardinal features of high-risk acute leukemia (pediatric ALL). From our side our leader was @francescobcc with help from Giovanni Gambi. #Cancer #leukemia #epigenetics @nyugrossman @NYUGSOM_Path

@PayalYokota Thanks Payal! This calls for a celebration for sure :)

[Francesco Boccalatte @francescobcc]

So excited to announce that our latest paper just got published @MolecularCell. Check out our latest discoveries on the role 3D chromatin hubs in acute T cell leukemia

@ED_PhD_ Ahaha, my pleasure. We have proof that we are a good team ;)
Still… if you get the grant you shall treat me better than soup and pizza 😂

[Francesco Boccalatte @francescobcc]

Great start to #EHA2024 in Madrid! Looking forward to hearing about new advancements in hematology, while catching up with friends and sparking new collaborations :)

Closing time for the @EMBO workshop on cancer evolution. Thanks to the organizers for choosing a superb location and stellar list of speakers. Lots of exciting data and great vibes!

Deeply honored that Corriere della Sera, the first Italian newspaper, is dedicating a full page article to my research path. Thanks to all the outstanding colleagues, mentors and foundations who have supported my work so far!

@Sandra_Misale @Albert0Bardelli @BardelliLab @AIRC_it @fpoirccs Grazie Sandra, spero avremo presto occasione di rivederci a Torino o in the US. And best of luck with your new lab as well!! :)

[Francesco Boccalatte @francescobcc]

And just like that.. My new lab is now open for business in the same space that was occupied by @Albert0Bardelli, one of the most prolific scientists the Candiolo Cancer Institute has hosted. Big shoes to fill, but I hope it brings good charm :)
@BardelliLab @AIRC_it @fpoirccs

[Francesco Boccalatte @francescobcc]

@PayalYokota @Albert0Bardelli @BardelliLab @AIRC_it @fpoirccs Of course! I am back in NYC at the end of April. I send you an email with the dates so we can plan :)

[Francesco Boccalatte @francescobcc]

@iannisaifantis1 @fpoirccs Thanks Ianni, I’ll do my best :)

[Francesco Boccalatte @francescobcc]

🎉 Thrilled to share that in January I’ll embark on a new chapter as independent group leader at the Candiolo Cancer Institute in Turin @fpoirccs 🔬🏥
Ready to dive into exciting research, collaborate with brilliant minds and contribute to the fight against cancer
