Feeling incredibly grateful to have been awarded a two‑year @ethz.ch postdoctoral fellowship to investigate lymphatic–immune interactions and immune trafficking in solid tumours. Excited for this opportunity to pursue this work and deeply thankful to @halinlab.bsky.social for the tremendous support!

Thanks for choosing my picture from our @jem.org paper for a biomedical picture of the day @bpodaily.bsky.social! It's always great to show the importance of the "other vessels"- the beautiful lymphatic system!
The Other Vessels: Subsets of lymphatic vessel lining & valve cells in the skin revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing & 3D imaging

So happy to be part of this study from @taijamakinenlab.bsky.social which is now on the cover of Nat.Cardiovasc.Research!
Amazing, Marle Kraft!
❤️Our July issue is out❤️Discover an Angiopoietin-TIE2-dependent circuit promoting venous malformations, complex disease modelling in cardiac organoids, regulation of cardiac homeostasis by methyonil tRNA synthetase, and more!

Angiopoietin–TIE2 feedforward circuit promotes PIK3CA-driven venous malformations
Nature Cardiovascular Research - Kraft et al. identify TIE2 activation as a key driver of PIK3CA-related venous malformations and demonstrate that inhibiting TIE2 signaling can suppress the growth...
