Two weeks ago Postdoc @shimritmayer.bsky.social presented at the Intercellular Dialogue In the Tumor Microenvironment Conference at the Weizmann Institute. Her work focuses on the spatial architecture of ovarian cancer.

🎇Massive congratulations to Lubna Ahmad, who successfully defended her PhD thesis yesterday! 🎅We celebrated all this year's accomplishments with great festive cheer last night.

We are back from a wonderful Lab retreat in Spixworth, where we had a chance to discuss ongoing and coming projects.

We are offering a PhD studentship to explore the biological links between breast cancer and obesity. Our team uses novel spatial imaging methods to characterise and map tissue architecture in large datasets of clinical trial samples. Apply here: www.cruk.cam.ac.uk/vacancies/cr...
