I’m happy to share our latest work on tumour necrosis! During my time in the @megeblad.bsky.social lab, we found that tumour necrosis is not a passive phenomenon secondary to tumour growth, but an active phenomenon driven by neutrophils and NETs! Thread below: (1/13)

Congratulations to Pilar Alcaide for a great presentation and the Presidents Award from #ISHR! 🙌
Great opening ceremony of the #ISHR2025 XXV World Congress in Nara. Excited to discuss science with colleagues of the Cardiovascular field during this ISHR meeting.
Great experience this week participating in the recently launched @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social Clinically Inspired Discovery Program. Many interesting talks and stimulating discussions with students.

Last contribution to the understanding of #neutrophil biology. Superb work from Tommaso, @alazozcan.bsky.social, and Jackson that I had the pleasure to contribute to and see growing during my time at @drusqui.bsky.social lab.
Finally making the transition from Twitter/X to Bluesky! Excited to keep up with the amazing work of friends and fellow scientists here. Also, follow this account for future updates on our lab work. #blueskyforscience.
