Lauren Stopfer, PhD

Officially earned my PhD from @MITdeptofBE! Here’s 1 lesson I learned in each year of grad school:🧵 1. Pick advisors that care about you. Not just the science, but your happiness & life goals. Your life WILL fall apart ≥1 time in grad school & you will need advisor support.

@neely615 @educhicano @ProteomicsNews @UCDProteomics @PastelBio @AlfaroJav @wilhelm_compms @compomics There are a million different protocols for isolating MHC peptides, but the best method is the one that works for you! All people and labs have their own preferences and tricks

@neely615 @educhicano @ProteomicsNews @UCDProteomics @PastelBio @AlfaroJav @wilhelm_compms @compomics I did a webinar for thermo a few years ago that has a general overview of the field and some specific info on search methods. thermofisher.com/us/en/home/glo…

Hi proteotweeps… I want to introduce our lab in #immunopeptidomics field… any guidance/tips? Resources and recommendations? @neely615 @ProteomicsNews @UCDProteomics @PastelBio

Exciting news yesterday for @AethonTx, our partnership with Revolution Medicines was announced, bringing together two powerful anti-KRAS strategies! prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Anyone have suggestions for a reputable CRO who does IF on mouse in vivo samples?

Heading to Barcelona 💃🇪🇸 tomorrow to give a lecture at the @EMBO targeted proteomics course! Looking forward to meeting the attendees & chatting mass spec!

Helping get the @AethonTx lab off the ground & getting back into the lab full time attacking new [hard] scientific questions has re-energized me in a way I didn’t know possible. JOIN THE STARTUP. TAKE THE RISK. You’ll feel 26 again 🤓

@RyuhjinAhn @SRC_CRS @LDI_ILD @McGillGCI @kochinstitute WOW! Congrats, Angela!!!! 🤩

Thank you @SRC_CRS for this award (~🇨🇦K99) to support my transition to independence in Canada. Deeply grateful to my mentors and colleagues @LDI_ILD, @McGillGCI, @KochInstitute who made this possible. Thrilled to prepare for what's next.

The best training for a startup is to do everything yourself in academia, and to outsource everything in industry. In a startup, time vs money is a constant balancing act

@blhorton @stefanispranger @TheWittrupLab @MIT @Stanford @kochinstitute @MITBiology @sitcancerECS Nice work!! Congrats to all! @aliciaddsouza

Excited to share that the second paper from my post-doc is out! This was a very fun 4-way collaboration between the @stefanispranger, White, and @TheWittrupLab labs at @MIT and the Garcia lab at @Stanford! @kochinstitute @MITBiology @sitcancerECS insight.jci.org/articles/view/…

@ProteomicsNews Ha! Close. Bali :)

@davidasilva ILY ❤️

@selimawebb I made this twitter in high school with lstops was my nickname 😅 luckily it’s not really my nickname anymore!!!!

@lstops shouldn't your nametag be LStops? Congratulations!! #bosslady 👏

Starting a #startup update: 6 months later, the lab is open for business 🤓 The amount of steps between signing a lab lease to actually starting the science is wild but looking around today, I can’t believe how far we’ve come. PINCH ME!!

Has the @tronmainz cell line portal been down for anyone else? celllines.tron-mainz.de This is my favorite resource and I’m feeling lost without it working… HELP!

@ossielaciencia HA so true

@lstops Just tell him it’s like a printer but in a biochem lab.

when your partner does not understand your life as a mass spectrometrist

Something special is beginning here, I can feel it ✨#startuplife

@_DougBrubaker @Delta @AmericanAir I am stranded (though luckily I’m with my sister) and have been for several days now haha. My latest rebooking is 6am tomorrow… but this will be my 8th attempt

I have been scheduled on 7 different cancelled flights from CLE > JFK/LGA over the past 48 hours from @Delta and @AmericanAir. At first it was weather, but now it certainly is not. Send funny jokes my way 😭

@byu_sam @Delta @AmericanAir I really hate driving and 8 hours is about 4 hours too much for me 😕

@lstops @Delta @AmericanAir have you looked into a roadtrip?
