Daniel Peeper

📢 We have a new episode out for you now! Brenda and Jason speak with Dr. Daniel Peeper (@d_peeper) at @NKI_nl about the use of function-based, #genome-wide screens to develop concepts for rational combinatorial #cancer treatment. 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/3OVwMo6

@whitefishlab Thanks Rich

Congratulations! Nice to see this story evolve and come out.

🙏 Huge thanks to everyone involved - postdocs, PhD students, bioinformaticians, technicians, internship students and collaborators. 👏 I’m incredibly proud that this long-term team effort led to a discovery that may help us better harness the immune system to fight cancer.

🚀 What’s next? We aim to: • Develop a clinical-proof procedure to specifically isolate T cell clusters from tumors • Test them in clinical trials to improve TIL therapy • Explore how the unique features of these clusters can inspire new immunotherapy strategies.

Our new paper is out in Nature - online today! Huge congrats to shared first authors Sofía Ibáñez-Molero & Johanna Veldman, the whole team & all collaborators. 📄 Open-access paper: nature.com/articles/s4158…

@SocietyMelanoma Research Congress 2025!! Here we go! President #LizPatton and local organized @d_peeper welcoming participants, which we are now are large family of #melanoma researchers. State-of-the-art talks, posters, meet the expert, awards… so exciting

💙 My most special selfie ever!!! Really blessed with friends that dedicate so much thought and effort to surprising you like this as a keynote speaker. Thanks @d_peeper for this composite and all at @SocietyMelanoma for making this field so unique scientifically and personally!

The SMR 2025 Annual Congress (Amsterdam Oct 25-28) covers basic, preclinical & translational melanoma research. It is a very enjoyable conference with top faculty and now improved with ample opportunity for young investigators to learn & network. Join us! smrcongress.org

Congratulations to my PhD student Tim Arnoldus @NKI_nl @oncodeinstitute on publishing his discovery today in Nature Genetics! 🎉 Taking a computational approach, Tim found a synthetic lethal target that may impact future treatment of half of all cancers👏nature.com/articles/s4158…
