The HuSH complex silences retrotransposable elements. We identify HuSH2, centered on TASOR2, targeting KRAB-ZNFs and interferon genes, balancing retrotransposon silencing and immune regulation. https://t.co/d8SmcuBzHD

🔥⚡️Excited to share the publication of our latest study, where we have uncovered the molecular mechanisms that govern the reactivity of quiescent T cells in early human life. https://t.co/mMyuwZpQ7Y

Great job at reinforcing inequity. Well done @Nature. 🙄

To kick off #NobelPrize2024 week, we looked at the data to see what type of scientist reliably scoops medals. For starters: Location matters. To give yourself the best chance of winning a Nobel, you should ideally be born in North America and stay there.

Still in time for my #PostdocAppreciationWeek message, saying a massive thank you to star postdoc @smamante1, without whom the lab would fall apart. Sam is driving two projects in parallel, keeps the lab in order and is always willing to help and support others.
