We’re pleased to announce Gordon Keller, Ph.D. @UHN as the 2023 Till & McCulloch Award recipient, recognized for his outstanding research paper entitled, “Modeling human multi-lineage heart field development with pluripotent stem cells”. https://t.co/lxaq2C6a7z @McEwenInstitute
Excited to share my PhD work, out today in @CellCellPress! Thankful for a great team and my mentor Irv Weissman. A rundown of the study: "Purification and characterization of human neural stem and progenitor cells." 1/

Happy to share our work out online @BCD_AACR! We use serial in vivo CRISPR screening to uncover pervasive RNA binding protein dependencies for AML leukemic stem cells, validating ELAVL1 as a post-transcriptional stabilizer of mitochondrial metabolism and new therapeutic target.
New work from the lab by wonderful trainees and collaborators (incl. @Penzes_Lab)! - we used cell type-specific proteomics to study the neurodevelopmental 15q13.3 microdeletion disorder (https://t.co/nVHtWtfogH).
Also a nice preview from @naelnadif (https://t.co/QtOaIqfbkI).
Researchers led by Drs. @Nadeem_M13 and @karunsinghneuro@UHN have shed light on how #genetic risk factors lead to symptoms of #autism spectrum disorder, opening the door to new ways to classify and treat patients > https://t.co/ntzKxrugbt
@UHN asks the #GovernmentOfCanada to better support a diverse research workforce that will ensure a vibrant, innovative and resilient research system, prepared to take on the health challenges of tomorrow.#ResearchIsTheSolution#CDNhealth

Sharing a study led by Dr. Nadeem Murtaza @Nadeem_M13. He used proteomics to screen 41 autism risk genes, finding convergence between the genes. Congrats to co-authors, and thank you to our long-standing collaborators. @UHN_Research @LMP_UofT https://t.co/LBjxSWA67C
In a new study published today in @CellReports, Drs. @karunsinghneuro and Nadeem Murtaza from the Donald K. Johnson Eye Institute @UHN identified previously unknown connections between genetic factors in #autism spectrum disorder.

We continue to look for highly motivated graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to join our cell death and immunity research team.
The cell death and immunity team has 4 talented graduate students, a research associate, and a shared research technician.
CAN President Shernaz Bamji was invited to speak this morning to the @HoCCommittees#HESA Standing committee on health
https://t.co/xvsOxf7R2V She spoke on behalf of all Canadian scientists to request increased funding for basic research - Listen here:
Science and research are a public good that we must all protect.
Tonight I spoke on my Motion M-38 to create a Standing Committee on Science and Research which had its first hour of debate. I appreciate all colleagues who spoke! @KateYoungMP @ScottReidCPC@seblemire@CanningsNDP
Join us this Thursday Feb 11th at 10:15am ET to hear from an amazing lineup of trailblazing @KrembilRI female scientists, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science (#WomenInScience). Click here to watch live ⇨ https://t.co/tS8PUsCEpY (no registration required)
