🎉My project #Bivalve2bivalve has been awarded a 2M € ERC Starting Grant! 🧬 Over 5 years, we’ll investigate at @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social from @maxplanck.de how host immunity, microbiome & environment determine whether transmissible cancers can survive and spread between cockles. 🌊

🚀 Thrilled to start this new chapter at the @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social, where I will explore how cancer spreads in bivalves. 🧬 🌊 Honored to be a #MinervaFastTrack fellow and eager to lead a team. 🔬 Looking forward to learning, collaborating, and advancing what we know about cancer evolution.

Our todays keynote speaker was Alicia L. Bruzos. She gave an inspiring talk about contagious cancer in different bivalve species. 🐚This unique type of cancer represent an interesting oppurtunity to explore the nature and evolution of cancer. We would like to thank @bruzos.bsky.social for the talk!☺️

Trying out my first post in the new place (thanks @alisonfeder.bsky.social) to post our paper on the analysis of the genomic changes in the evolution of the bivalve transmissible neoplasia in soft-shell clams that came out last week! www.nature.com/articles/s43...
