Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Really excited to announce that I joined MD Anderson Cancer Center as a CPRIT TRIUMPH Postdoctoral Fellow this week, currently based in the Dept. of Experimental Radiation Oncology! 140
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 03/10/2025Randomly listening to #BiologyInNumbers episodes (by @parmvir.com for @smbmathbiology.bsky.social) and really enjoyed @suzannesindi.bsky.social's! I wish I'd heard it during my Ph.D. - esp: "most of the time what you try does not work... it feels like you're always solving a puzzle". 073

Reposted by Rebecca BekkerDr Emma Swai @emmajoyswai.bsky.social · 08/08/2025I am genuinely excited to be helping students ask innovative questions which challenge perspectives in our field. 061
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Recently read a paper that looked at effects of diff ICI's on CD8+ T cells in the TME. IIRC: one ICI helped prevent exhaustion in newly recruited cells & one rescued CD8's that were already present. Think authors also looked at Lag-3 or TIM-3. Sound familiar? Pls drop a link! 010
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 07/05/2025So happy to see this is out! If you're interested in ML + mechanistic models for in silico clinical trials, please read our #mathonco blog post! As always, happy to discuss and open to feedback! 040
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! It's a great day to present my postdoc work in Improving Response to Immunotherapies in Advanced HER2+ Breast Cancer at #SACB2025. 0143
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Hi #mathonco! I'm submitting a grant this year! Super exciting! Super scary. Does anyone have a #mathonco or computational bio K99/R00, K22 (or similar) that they'd be willing to share with me? Specifically looking for input / examples of scope and the mentoring plan. Thank you!! 022
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 13/01/2025I spent the last week at BIRS discussing mechanistic learning (ML + mechanistic modeling) in #mathonco. Being surrounded by friends & colleagues who love chatting science reminded me that science is a community, and mine is pretty cool. 0100
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 27/11/2024As a brand new postdoc, I'm getting more invites to review for journals. The last one took me a whole day! Does anyone have any tips / advice on how to be more efficient or a system to follow? Thanks!! #Science #STEM #mathonco 240
Reposted by Rebecca BekkerDr. Jessie Christiansen @aussiastronomer.bsky.social · 13/11/2024PSA for anxious grad students: unless the evaluation rubric explicitly calls out 'has won prizes' (and I haven't worked with one that does) I am skipping the prizes section of CVs. So if you don't have any, *don't stress and don't undersell yourself*. 0131
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Hi all! I'm slowly migrating from the Other Place to here. Any tips / tricks / features I need to know about? One thing I haven't found is a way to bookmark posts. Am I missing something? Thank you!! 130
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 07/10/2024If you're interested in a #mathonco journal club, please fill out this survey. It'll help me plan! forms.gle/xi5Q3sDsLNh1... 000
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 30/09/2024Is anyone in #mathonco interested in starting a monthly journal club? I'm mostly focused on the impact of therapy on tumor-immune interactions but I'd be happy to discuss almost anything! 111
Rebecca Bekker @rebeccabekker.bsky.social · 23/09/2023#HiSciSky! I'm in the 5th year of my PhD looking at the immunological consequences of radiotherapy using mathematical oncology 👩💻☢️ Starting to look for #postdocs in #mathonco if you know anyone who's hiring! 0154
