@vib_ccb @Onco_KULeuven @VUBrussel @GIGA_ULiege @ULBruxelles

Very happy to share that we received an @FWOVlaanderen senior research grant. Particularly thankful to FWO that will allow us to further characterize the #metabolism of #macrophages at the primary tumor and in #mestastasis.
Happy Holidays to you all!

Congrats to our PhD student Federica Cappellesso that won the EmboMolMed poster prize with her great story on SLC4A4 targeting as a way to overcome immunotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer 🎉🎉 Good job!!! 👏

‼️Important discovery for cancer vaccine

Dmitry Gabrilovich shows that peroxide nitrogen released by myeloid cells changes quantity and profile of peptides presented by cancer cells, leading to poor recognition by CD8 T cells

So many interesting concepts in #ImmunoOnco22! - SP

Great talk of Andrea Schietinger that discovered a stem cell-like population TCF1 high playing an important role in sustaining type1 diabetes.💡

Can we translate this to cancer immunity❓

- SP #ImmunoOnco22

Kicking off #ImmunoOnco22 day2 with Alexandre Harari zooming in TCR clonotypes of Melanoma patients and ways to enhance the generation of reactive TILs 🧐

🗣️The talk raised a lot of discussions: should we use TILs as second-line therapy for PD-1 treated patients?

-SP

#ImmunoOnco22 Selected talk number 2🎤

Mandy van Gulijk from @erasmusmcintl dived into the effect of PD-1 blockade therapies and their effect on T regulatory cells.

‼️Reminder: not only CD8 T cells are affected by this axis‼️
- SP

Very interesting talk of Lana Kandalaft @OncoUNILCHUV showing that in vitro evaluation of peptide-MHC binding and peptide immunogenicity significantly improve prioritizing tumor-rejecting neoepitopes 🤓

Learning new ways to enhance cancer vaccines during #immunoOnco22!! -SP
