Very much looking forward to #ESMO25 in the 😎 city of #Berlin! Huge increase in abstract submissions, and the team is currently working hard on putting together the best scientific program for you! Make sure to join us: with my co-chair Toni Choueiri, MD FabriceAndre The Netherlands Cancer Institute OncoAlert

So excited to share this with you all!😃Rama Khokha and I revisit a core assumption in cancer biology: is tumour heterogeneity a reflection of disorganization? Our thoughts on how self-organization shapes tumour tissues, and why that matters for oncology: nature.com/articles/s4156…
