I recently set up an account on the microblogging site https://t.co/VwA6W6bfqW and am looking for people to follow, especially in the #science and #medicine communities. Who here is on #Mastodon? If yes, drop your handle in the replies! You can find me @[email protected]

@AmyKathrynStark @VandyPharm @VUMCEye Congratulations! 🎉

[Alex Bick @AlexBickMDPhD]

Looking forward to the many new faculty colleagues we will recruit to @VanderbiltU & @VUMCDiscoveries with support from @NIH_CommonFund's FIRST initiative in the years ahead!
Thank you @DrCHWilkins, @ahasty4 & @VU_Provost for your leadership.

Recurring somatic mutations are uncommon and inconsequential right? Nope!

Out today in @ScienceAdvances, our work led by @J__Stock disproves these widely held assumptions, discovering a new class of non-coding somatic mutations in blood with phenotypic impact. 🧵👇

[Alex Bick @AlexBickMDPhD]

Out in @Nature today, we describe a new method "PACER" to estimate clonal expansion rate and use it to identify that aberrant TCL1A activation as a cause of #CHIP expansion and potential therapeutic target @J__Stock @Jk_Gopakumar @jaiswalmdphd https://t.co/v32VoULUbB

Fatty liver dz is v common but our understanding of who progresses to inflammation & fibrosis is limited.
In @Nature, we discover clonal hematopoiesis as a modifiable risk factor for precision liver dz prevention.

Clonal hematopoiesis is an expansion of blood stem cell clones caused by mutations in a recurrent set of genes. Our paper on factors mediating expansion of these mutant clones is published today.

Ever wanted to do #tractography but didn't have #diffusion #MRI? Check out our preprint using #AI to propagate streamlines directly on T1w MRI, no diffusion needed! https://t.co/abRqZqfFbC Big thanks to @grahamwjohnson @dc_moyer @kurtschilling5 @FrancoisRheault & @MASI_Lab team!
