This week, Dewpoint Head of Cancer Biology @BoijaAnn spoke at #BostonDOT23 about how #condensate-modifying drugs (c-mods) present an innovative approach for treating previously undruggable diseases, including cancer and neurodegeneration.
It was touch and go for a while, but Whitehead Institute made a comeback and advanced to the second round of #STATMadness! Cast your vote here for a fantastic paper from Rick Young's lab @youngricka on how cancer drugs are distributed throughout the body: https://t.co/mkn637tjAP
Just three and a half days left to vote for Whitehead Institute's research in #STATMadness! Head to the link to cast your vote for papers on HIV and cancer drugs from the labs of Silvi Rouskin @RouskinLab and Rick Young @youngricka! @MITBiology@ScienceMIT https://t.co/PukZShJlrF
The latest paper from our lab is now online @MolecularCell. We used a histone replacement system and biochemical reconstitution to show the requirement of H3K14 acetylation for the expression of a set of genes that are essential for Drosophila development and tissue patterning.
Don’t miss the next installment of “COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 and the Pandemic”, at 11:30 ET tomorrow 10/20, when Dr. Victoria Clark will discuss “The Patient”.

Check out my MIT course this fall on “COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 and the Pandemic”, taught by leading scientists Tuesdays at 11:30 ET beginning Sept 1. For the syllabus and a link to the live stream, visit https://t.co/ad5ROKflX7.
Great fun working with @eliot_coffey on this study. Looking forward to seeing how these findings can be leveraged to benefit patients with Rett syndrome in the future. Huge thanks to the entire team for their amazing contributions to this study!

Check out our new paper on how clinically important drugs are concentrated in nuclear condensates. So much fun doing this study together @IsaacAKlein, @youngricka and all collaborators. https://t.co/aQtprLa8il
The lab website https://t.co/fYxFQ4w3ga is live! Make sure to check out our open positions https://t.co/UcmCVaftaX. We are recruiting postdocs, grad students and research assistants to work at the interface of gene regulation and condensate biology. Please RT.
Furthering a new model of gene control, a study led by @krishna_shriniv of the Chakraborty Lab @MITChemE & @bsabari of the Young lab identifies threshold conditions that decide whether a condensate of transcription factors forms at a site on the genome: https://t.co/z6IuU5Mvz1
