PhD✅
Another thesis successfully defended 👏
Congratulations to Aina Rill (@eli_mereu's lab) with her work on "Mapping Inflammation and T cell Dynamics with Single-Cell Genomics" 🧬💻
Well done, new doctor!👩🔬🎓

It took 3 years, 4 rounds of reviews, 96 VISIUM samples, 10 cancer types, and 1 clinical trial, but it's finally out:
The spatial landscape of Cancer Hallmarks reveals patterns of tumor ecological dynamics and drug sensitivity
Here's what's new 👇

🏆Congratulations to @rill_aina for winning a Molecular Oncology prize at the 2024 @CarrerasIJC Symposium, with her poster "Integrative single-cell multi-omics of CD19-CARpos and CARneg T cells suggest drivers of immunotherapy response in B-cell neoplasias"👏
Very honored to have received one of the Molecular Oncology Poster Session Awards last week from #IJCSymposium “Updates on Genetics and Epigenetics of Haematological Malignancies: From Knowledge to Applications” at @CarrerasIJC ✨

So i'm very happy to say that my very talented honours student has reimplemented the entire trajectory workflow in R, intersecting with @theHumanBorch's scRepetoire! Code is now live github.com/tuonglab/dandelio… but lacking vignette; will be up shortly!)

Published today @NatureBiotech: @CarlHJune and I reveal how CAR T cells are finally tackling solid tumors!
@PennPPA @PennMDForum

My first first-author paper is out!! Check out this incredible science done in collaboration with @MerGuMu and @Menendez_Lab @eli_mereu 🧬🧫💻💖
🚨Researchers from the @Menendez_Lab and @eli_mereu Lab, @MerGuMu @trincadojl @rill_aina describe at @CellRepMed the molecular features making a CAR-T cells infusion successful 💪
Read the news piece at 👇
carrerasresearch.org/en/news…
Results show objective features in the infusion product may predict future therapeutic success, advocating for a more precise quality control.
Also, characteristics of the CAR-T expansion within the patient are related to efficacy and could be used as early warning.
Thanks to funders 🫶 @contracancerINV @FundlaCaixa @unoentrecienmil @fcarreras
Check out how we found intrinsic factors of CAR-T cells that may play a major role on its clinical success by single-cel multiomics!! 🧬💻💖

Brilliant ✨ #YoungResearchers Seminar yesterday with Aina Rill, from @eli_mereu’s lab!
We have learnt more about her project "Integrative #SingleCell multi-omics of CD19-CARpos and CARneg T cells suggest drivers of immunotherapy response in B-cell neoplasias". Great work! 👏

📢Our lab at the @CarrerasIJC is looking for candidates for the competitive PhD INPhINIT incoming fellowship from La Caixa Foundation. We work on the application of #singlecell genomics and ML to improve cell-based immunotherapy in Myeloma and others B-cell neoplasms. Plz RT!🔁 – at Barcelona, Spain

Our multimodal model to combine TCR sequences with scRNA-seq is finally out. The most interesting part for me was observing a clear case where the combination of TCR sequence and cell state (RNA) preserved both clonotype and cell type information, leading to a more holistic cell representation that captures phenotype and functionality. We also decompose the contribution and importance of each modality. This was a really fun project spearheaded by @DrostFelix, whose amazing perseverance during a long review period, and collaboration with @schubert_benni and other fantastic collaborators, made it possible.

Key Takeaways from our CAR-T Study:
⚖️CD4/CD8 ratio's impact
😮💨Exhaustion in IP
🔬CD8+ cytotoxic T cells' significance
👀Gamma delta T cells' role
With this knowledge, we strive to enhance treatments and pave the way for improved patient outcomes.
🙏 Thank you for reading my first co-author paper! For a detailed explanation, check the entire paper to uncover the secrets revealed by sc multiomics. Feel free to read and share ♥️✨
And of course, this project couldn’t be done without the collaboration of @MerGuMu @trincadojl
