Our latest publication. Do culture conditions affect immunotherapy responses ex vivo? Patient-derived tumor explant models of tumor immune microenvironment reveal distinct and reproducible immunotherapy responses tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
What was most memorable about your doctoral thesis defense? 🎩 For more information on my upcoming defense (including a live stream link) see here: helsinginyliopisto.etapahtuma.fi/events/public-… Photo: Katriina Koski @helsinkiuni @KlefstromLab
Thank you @jitcancer for the highlight. A graduate student this week, and hopefully a fresh doctor next Friday. :) Looking forward to discussing this work with my opponent.

Our latest publication highlights potential synergistic effects between metformin and treatments that induce the release of antigens from cancer cells. This indicates a promising avenue for further exploration in cancer treatment strategies helsinki.fi/en/news/cancer…
I'm having a blast at #AACR23. I've befriended quite a few participants already, but if I haven't met you then come see me tomorrow at 9am at poster section 24, board 11 (abstract 4122). #Immunology #3DModel #breastcancer #research
It was an honor to represent the academic collaboration within the @Cancer_IO_ project. Working so closely with top-notch professionals in the cancer immunology field has had a huge impact on my development as a researcher. @helsinkiuni @maijahollmen @KlefstromLab #mustjokilab

Today we highlight our research team of varying skillsets and expertise. Our MYC-dependent cancer vulnerability pathways and drugs will pass through these hands before translational consideration. #research #teamwork #MYCimmune @KlefstromLab #cancerresearch #MYC
Sharing this just because I enjoyed the seminar SO much. The recording will be available on YouTube in a few weeks but OH MY how interesting science is when it is explained clearly and in simple terms. Excellent job, @HGeorgeSpace Also, thanks for entertaining all my questions :)
