AFAY is honored to invite National Academy of Sciences members and emeritus HHMI investigators, Professor Lily Jan and Professor Yuh-Nung Jan from UCSF to give three talks at Yale on their research and on “Scientific Excellence, Mentorship, and Equity”. (1/3)

In 2022, Professor Yuh-Nung Jan published a paper in Cell titled "Underrepresentation of Asian awardees of United States biomedical research prizes", which brought this important issue to people's attention. https://t.co/Tqb4Qe2ked (2/3)

How does aging reshape a tissue that must continually rebuild itself hundreds of times?

Using spatial transcriptomics, we find that ovarian aging disrupts the coordination of cells across space and time before reproductive cycles stop.

A study from @RongFan8 and @sidichen highlights spatial CRISPR screening's potential to transform #cancerresearch by enabling spatial analysis of genetic and RNA interactions in complex tissues, providing insights into tumor biology, immune evasion, and RNA regulatory networks.
