.
Working on stress and metastatic cancer.
Thrilled to announce that I'll be joining
@WUSTLmed
,
@WUSTLCellBio
as an Assistant Professor starting Oct 2023🥳! My lab'll be studying the role of chronic stress in colorectal cancer, with a focus on tumor microenvironment. Please reach out if you're interested in being a part!
Thrilled about our paper in
@Cancer_Cell
, showing how chronic stress increases metastasis by impacting neutrophils (yep, again)! Many thanks to our co-authors, especially
@AelstLab
,
@yuangao_yg
and
@niseto
. Stress is inevitable, but let's overcome it to fight against cancer💪!
Exciting news! Our research on ETV6 dependency in Ewing sarcoma got featured as the cover story for the February issue
@NatureCellBio
! Who said that differentiated sarcoma cells couldn't be photogenic! All credit to
@Xueyan_He
. Check out the cover story if you haven’t already. 👇
All the best for your next PhD journey at Johns Hopkins with our dearest mentor Mik, and all the other scientists there! I'm so glad you guys like my logo design for the Egeblad lab 😉😘! Will miss you all a lot!!!
Memorizing my last meeting as a postdoc
@CSHL
. Will always miss my dearest mentor Mik
@megeblad
, my friends🌻, and... the unforgettable lobster🦞😍!

Exciting! A big milestone with our FIRST data, featuring the beautiful NETs staining in the tumor🧬! -- All thanks to lab member's hard work and the support from
@wuccilab
🔬!
Guess who runs a lab where EVERYONE has/had their own fellowship/award, or funds? -- Our MODEL mentor, Mikala🤗! A huge shoutout to our dearest mentor
@megeblad
, who is moving to
@HopkinsMedicine
. Join us for the future research on TME and tumor-host interaction! We are hiring!👇
Sooo grateful for being awarded the
@AACR
scholar-in-training award. Stop by my poster this afternoon at section 3. Welcome to tonight's TME town hall meeting, in which I will present my story of how chronic stress promotes breast cancer metastasis!
Lastly, a big shout out to
@CSHL
, one of the best places for postdocs❤️. A heartfelt thank goes out to all amazing collaborators (Linda Van Aelst,
@ChrisVakoc
,
@caoresco
etc). Grateful for the support from
@PDLCCSHL1
and fellow postdocs. All of these help my PI dream come true🙏
Super excited and honored to present my work at CSHL IN HOUSE seminar
@CSHL
! Thank you my mentor Mikala
@megeblad
for nominating me of such a great chance 😉. Very happy to share the science with people and get so many inspirations too~
Beautiful “NETworking” with fantastic cancer and neutrophil experts 🎉!!! Excited to see the field is expanding but with a lot more to explore 💪! Check out our new review paper on NETs and cancer which was just online today in
@Cancer_Cell
👇
"NETworking with cancer: The bidirectional interplay between cancer and neutrophil extracellular traps"
Our new review is out today in
@Cancer_Cell
. It is itself a result of networking:
@niseto
worked with the great
@DanielaQuail
lab &
@Xueyan_He
Incredibly grateful to have an amazing mentor Mikala!😊Has been 6+ years, and we've shared many experiences and challenges along the way. This journey is filled with not only "aging and stress"🤣, but also beautiful memories of growth and accomplishments. Thank you

@theNCI
! 🏆👏 Unbelievable - she got an impact score 11 (!😍) on her very first grant submission! 🚀 Way to go, Xiao! Excited to witness your future achievements!
😃Flattered to be awarded the
@NIH
F99/K00 fellowship by
@theNCI
which will fund my remainder of PhD training in
@megeblad
lab and up to 4 years of my postdoctoral research.👩🏻🔬 Thanks to everyone for the incredible support-I’ll keep pushing forward!💪
Extremely happy to see our collaborative story is out on
@NatureCellBio
👏🎉! Check out this amazing work in identifying the key dependency TF called ETV6 in Ewing sarcoma, led by the outstanding postdoc
@yuangao_yg
from
@ChrisVakoc
lab! 👇
Want to be a postdoc working in tumor microenvironment? Come join us! BEST mentor
@megeblad
ever. Amazing scientific environment at
@CSHL
. Great opportunity nowww~!
My fellows are getting jobs. Great, except my lab is shrinking! We will be looking for postdocs to join us in studying how the tumor immune microenvironment (incl. neutrophils) & systemic changes (incl. those caused by stress) control metastasis. Email me: egeblad

🎉Big congrats to
@megeblad
on the well-deserved Award🏆!Not only is she an outstanding scientist leading cutting-edge cancer research, but she's also an incredibly warm and supportive mentor. Honored to be her mentee—hoping more join her lab for future innovative discoveries!👇
Very honored to receive the Metastasis Research Society Fidler Innovation Award. Grateful to my lab team—this recognition is thanks to them!
With our move to JHU, exciting new projects and postdoc positions are available. Reach out at mikala.egeblad

Huge thanks to the ever-supportive Mikala
@megeblad
❤️. I will always remember the little gift she gave me on the day we submitted the paper to
@Cancer_cell
. She said it was "a good sign😉" and would symbolize good luck for me, and now it has come true! --heartwarming, as always🥰
This project, while bringing lots of stress over the past few years to me🤣, has also opened up intriguing new questions. Excited to keep delving into stress's impact within the gut system at

💪!!!
A big shout out to my Bestie Yuan
@yuangao_yg
who made her fruitful postdoc journey with a well-deserved K99/R00 award today! I have no doubt this will open up exciting opportunities for your future sarcoma research. Cannot wait to see where you go in the future! Congrats my girl!
Thinking about graduate school? Join us Sept 1st at 1PM for a "Tech-to-Grad" panel discussion and hear from current students and faculty about navigating the application process. Don’t miss this opportunity to answer your questions about applying to grad school programs! (1/2)
Congrats
@Dongyan_Song
! Happy to get involved in such a beautiful work on elucidating the new mechanism by which targeting NETs with PTP1B inhibitor in preventing lethal lung inflammation.
Neutrophils are the body’s first line of defense against infection, but they can also damage the tissues they’re meant to protect, like the lungs. Prof Nicholas Tonks and his team found a drug to inhibit PTP1B, preventing this lethal lung inflammation.
Congratulations!
@Xiaoli_Sky_Wu
and
@ChrisVakoc
Graduated with a Nature paper makes me sooooo jealous 🤣. Wish you all the best in your future research! Keep collaborating 😎
It’s definitely rare that a PhD student has a first authored Nature paper published(check out my previous tweet) when getting hooded, and Sky
@Xiaoli_Sky_Wu
is that rarely excellent student. Congrats!!!

@cshlmeetings
I'm so happy you enjoyed one of my favorite meetings, the Biology of Cancer
@CSHL
. Way to go, Peng! Expecting a lot more achievements from you!!
This nice video won't be able to be published on Nature without your outstanding works on identifying two co-factors of POU2F3 in Tuft cells. Very happy to help and get involved in this fabulous work! CONGRATS!!! ^^

@ERC_Research
Congrats !!!! We are not competitors anymore,-- what a pity! You will miss a lot of fun hahaha (I'm just jealous 😂). Best of luck for your future career!!!
