Today @myanhtruong01 defended her PhD thesis entitled: Tales of aneuploidy. Lessons from (individual) chromosome manipulations. And she did it masterfully! Congrats dr Truong, I am very proud to have been your supervisor. @UMCU_CMM @oncodeinstitute @Cancer_UMCU
Very pleased to finally see our paper published online in @embojournal. doi.org/10.15252/embj.202211…. Great work by My Anh Truong @myanhtruong01 and Paula Cané-Gasull! With fantastic help from the labs of @Foijer_lab and @KapiteinLukas. @UMCU_CMM @oncodeinstitute

Onlangs schreven @LensSusanne en ik een hoofdstuk voor het nieuwste boek van Stichting Biowetenschappen en Maatschappij: een overzicht van de laatste ontwikkelingen in het kanker onderzoek in begrijpelijke taal. Mooi initiatief!
Vandaag is het #Wereldkankerdag. In de nieuwe paperback Kanker vertellen onderzoekers en artsen die met patiënten met kanker te maken hebben over de laatste ontwikkelingen in het onderzoek: van vroege opsporing en diagnose tot behandeling. ➡️biomaatschappij.nl/product/k…

#Aneuploidy22 was a great scientific meeting and a fantastic opportunity to honour Angelika. Thanks to all the speakers, poster presenters and attendees for sharing their science and making it a successful and vibrant conference.

Do some chromosomes mis-segregate more often than others? We are happy to have contributed to this exciting story on segregation bias. Thanks @KopsLab @LensSusanne @kind_jop @Foijer_lab for the collaboration! @Nature @ERC_Research @hrzz_science @institutrb tinyurl.com/3a7983u9
Excited to share that we managed to induce chromosome-specific CIN, by tethering a plant kinesin onto individual chromosomes. A 'tour de force' with @KapiteinLukas @Foijer_lab Check out our preprint, co-posted with exciting work from @McclellandLab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

It walks! Together with the Akhmanova lab we provide in vitro and in vivo evidence that MKLP2 is a motile kinesin that transports the CPC along microtubules. CPC binding makes the motor more processive. @oncodeinstitute @pjzvh @UMCU_CMM @ProgramUmc

Proud of Ingrid Adriaans who defended her thesis today. The content of her thesis inspired her father to (action)paint the cover of her thesis. Love it!

In ons lichaam vindt constant celdeling plaats. Verloopt die niet goed, dan kan kanker ontstaan. Ingrid Adriaans bestudeerde de slotfase, als één cel zich echt splitst in twee nieuwe. Dat leidde tot nieuwe kennis over de rol van twee eiwitten. bit.ly/2Uv2I4D @UMCU_CMM

Ingrid Adriaans promoveert vandaag op haar onderzoek over de laatste fase van celdeling, de cytokinese. De nieuwe inzichten die tijdens dit onderzoek zijn opgedaan helpen mogelijk bij de zoektocht naar ontwikkeling van therapieën tegen kanker. Lees meer: umcutrecht.nl/nl/Nieuws/Nieu…

Results of the Dutch DENSE trial show that adding MRI to breast cancer screening detects more cancer and in an earlier stage in women with extremely dense breasts. This is an important step from “one size fits all” to “tailormade” screening”.
