Check out our new study in @ScienceMagazine, where we take on a 100-year-old debate: what’s the role of aneuploidy in cancer?

We discovered that genetically removing extra chromosomes blocks cancer growth - a phenomenon we call “aneuploidy addiction”. https://t.co/K5ny7Ureph

Jean-Luc Picard remains the single most compelling vision of progressive politics I am familiar with — secular, rational, compassionate, egalitarian; a believer in progress & abundance but also duty, hard work, and a constant battle for self-improvement and improving the world.

I’m thrilled to share our new preprint, in which we describe what I think may be the best way to selectively target aneuploid cancers while sparing normal euploid tissue.

This work was led by an exceptional postdoc in the lab, Yi Bei, with contributions by @DrKlaske, @alisontaylorlab, and several others not on Twitter.
