    Hi twitter world, I have news: I am very happy to announce that I will be joining the @IRBBarcelona this fall as group leader! The lab will study the interplay between #genetics, #inflammation and #cell_identity programs in #cancer to devise strategies for early #interception.
    The 'DAClab' opens in the fall. Reach out if interested in joining our #team!

    When starting a new journey, there's that mix of excitement and vertigo about where it will lead. Then you realize how lucky you are when you know that, regardless, the journey will be stimulating and fun. Nice Bday surprise from Katharina & Jessica, first DAC lab members!☀️

    Thrilled to share this hand-in-hand collaboration with brilliant @CassBurdziak, @dana_peer & @LoweLabMSKCC addressing non-genetic determinants of #neoplastic competency in #PDAC. More than the 'who', we find the 'with whom' to define both potential & journey. #Communication is🔑
