Huge milestone for the lab today as 3 more PhDs officially got hooded! π Bittersweet to see them go, but so excited for their next chapters. Best of luck, Doctors! @USCPIBBS@USCStemCell@KECKSchool_USC#FightOn βοΈ
Is there a doctor on the plane? Yes, but heβs the kind that can explain the correlation of cellular pathways rather than perform surgery. Congratulations to our newest PhD, Dr. Zachary Thomas! π @USCViterbi@USCStemCell@USC#fighton βοΈ
A bit late but big news in the Lu Lab! π₯³ We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Rong Lu has been promoted to Full Professor. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all and for showing us whatβs possible with hard work and passion. Time to celebrate! π₯β¨ #USCStemCell#USC
Happy holidays from the Lu Lab! π Also, our Up inspired gingerbread house won our building gingerbread contest this year! #uscstemcell#uscksom#uscpibbs
Congratulations to Danica Gonzalez (MCDB β26) for receiving a USC Provostβs Undergraduate Research Fellowship! π #uscstemcell#ronglulab#usc#fighton
Big congratulations to Sara Lydon (@fin_34_), a 2nd-year PhD student in @uscbme, for being awarded a NIH T32 Fellowship in Developmental Biology, Stem Cells, and Regeneration! An exciting step forward in a promising research journey! @USCStemCell#fighton@KeckMedicineUSC@USC
Big congratulations to Zack on receiving the F31 for his project, Investigating the Heterogeneous Intercellular Signaling of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells and its Changes around the Circadian Clock! ππ¬ #usckeck#Hematopoiesis#uscstemcell#uscviterbi
Did we find the fountain of youth (for the immune system)? β²οΈ
@USCStemCell scientist Rong Lu and her collaborators point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells that keep immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases. https://t.co/VqUePTqz9v
USCβs Rong Lu and Caltechβs Michael B. Elowitz win the NIH Directorβs Transformative Research Award for their new approach to study blood and immune cell production in bone marrow. https://t.co/eFRRJsy8vx @USCStemCell@KeckSchool_USC@NIH_CommonFund#NIHHighRisk
