An absolutely bonkers stat from this Nature article on Nobel Prize winners. "702 out of 736 researchers who have won science and economics prizes up to 2023 are part of the same academic family" nature.com/immersive/d415…

Very excited to start Giulia Biffi lab and delve into understanding PDAC associated cachexia!

🚨We are 👀 for our next #Bioinformagician🚨 Do you have (preferably lots of) hands-on experience with single-cell/single-nuclei RNA-sequencing? Want to analyze our lab’s pancreatic cancer (and more) datasets? Join us ⁦CRUK Cambridge Institute⁩! Please RT 👇🏼 jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/48614/

Our Plant & Bake Sale CRUK Cambridge Institute is ready to go! Come and support us to raise fund for Pancreatic Cancer UK and Cancer Research UK !

🚨2024 is coming to a close but #research on #fibroblast_functions in #cancer is far from done ✅. If you want to know more, read our latest #review now in press Trends in Cancer. Fantastic job by Priscilla Cheng and Marta Zaccaria 🌟👏🏻. And happy 2025 🫶 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our study on BK channels in extracellular vesicles is just published.

🥳Happy to see Eloise Lloyd et al finally published! A beautiful study looking at how distinct #genetics of malignant cells shape #PDACprogression, #TMEcomposition and #TherapyResponse. 👇 aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti… Also, for future posts see you on 🦋 @giuliabiffi.bsky.social

Excited to be one of them! Grateful to be able to continue understanding the role of fibroblasts in pancreatic cancer cachexia Giulia Biffi Lab!

With everything that's going on in research, here is my feeble attempt to bring in some positivity on this platform. Give it a read if you can! debasmitamukherjee.blogspot.com/2025/03/woman-…

🎉Huge congratulations to #WenlongLi Giulia Biffi CRUK Cambridge Institute who has been awarded Cancer Research UK #ACED_EarlyCancer fellowship to uncover new biomarkers🎯 in fibroblasts for #EarlyDetection of #PancreaticCancer Read more👉cambridge-pcc.org/Press_release_…

🚨 Early stage investigators! If your NIH K grant was prematurely terminated after January 1, 2025, you can apply (compete) for it again….. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

🎉Huge congratulations to Debasmita Mukherjee Giulia Biffi Group CRUK Cambridge Institute for being awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship! She will explore how cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) contribute to #Cachexia in #PancreaticCancer. Read more👉cambridge-pcc.org/Press_release_…

A new Science Translational Medicine study in mice suggests that fibrate medications may protect against cardiovascular disease by dampening inflammatory signaling in hepatocytes through PPAR-alpha, rather than by lowering lipids as previously thought. scim.ag/3Zeq9j7

🎉New research grant awarded by Pancreatic Cancer UK! Giulia Biffi Group CRUK Cambridge Institute will work with The Gilbertson Lab to explore how cancer cells communicate within #TumourMicroenvironment to promote growth in #PancreaticCancer & #LungCancer.

A note that I’m sure is obvious but worth stating that cancer cachexia is not just a human pathological condition: the work of Cancer Research UK Cancer Grand Challenges NIH National Cancer Institute and Cancan is so important to uncover the underlying mechanisms

The first morning of the Cancer Cachexia Society Conference will be focused on how the tumor microenvironment and metastasis drive, and impact, cachexia from basic science and clinical perspectives. The early-bird registration deadline is June 30th: cancercachexiasociety.org/2025-registrat…

🚭 How does smoking promote #PancreaticCancer? This Cancer Discovery paper by timofran Rogel and Blondy Center for Pancreatic Cancer shows that 🚬 ⬆️ Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands like TCCD, which drive polarization of CD4+ T cells & accumulation of immune suppressive Tregs. aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…
