@LabBerman Zebrafish are such a powerful model for understanding human monogenic disorders!
Here’s to many more successful collaborations with @LabBerman!

[The Berman Lab @LabBerman]

Check out our exciting new paper on how human JAK1 mutations leads to dysregulated myelopoeisis and allergic inflammation! A great collaborative effort!

[Turvey lab @TurveyLab]

Just published in @JCI_insight today!

Human JAK1 gain of function causes dysregulated myelopoeisis and severe allergic inflammation https://t.co/er9lfdMNPk

Great collaboration with @CatherineMBiggs @LabBerman @nictitate and many others...
