Extremely excited to see my PhD work in the @obenaufa.bsky.social published today in @natureportfolio.bsky.social 🤩. A big thank you to everyone who contributed, special thank you to my partner in crime @guillemxtivill.bsky.social - it was a lot of fun to work on this together! 🥳
1/23 Big news for the #ObenaufLab! So excited to finally share our new study providing another puzzle piece, why immunotherapy fails in many tumors, now out in @Nature 🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Extremely happy to receive the 2024 Denise Barlow Award for my PhD work. Grateful to my mentor @obenaufa.bsky.social and the entire Obenauf lab, all collaborators, and the award committee for this recognition!
🎉 Congrats to @aelewaut.bsky.social for winning the 2024 #DenisePBarlowAward! 🎖️
She carried out her PhD thesis in @obenaufa.bsky.social's lab (@impvienna.bsky.social), work published in @nature.com.

Bile acid synthesis impedes tumor-specific T cell responses during liver cancer
The metabolic landscape of cancer greatly influences antitumor immunity, yet it remains unclear how organ-specific metabolites in the tumor microenvironment influence immunosurveillance. We found that...

#Immunotherapy has transformed #cancer treatment, but some cancers evade immune defenses, causing resistance.

@obenaufa.bsky.social's lab has discovered how inflammatory monocytes—a type of immune cell—can reactivate cancer-killing T cells within tumors.
