Postdoc in the Shilatifard lab at Northwestern University

[Saeid Parast @SaeidMP]

I was thrilled to represent the Shilatifard Laboratory @ShilatifardLab Northwestern University at the CSHL Mechanisms of Aging meeting last week!

It was a wonderful opportunity to share our lab’s exciting research connecting transcription elongation and aging.

Had a great time at the Senescence & Aging Symposium at @CSHL! Honored to share our work and discuss its relevance to aging research. A highlight was my interview with Jan A. Witkowski on gene expression and its link to aging and senescence. https://t.co/0ubCv4wJ8P

My PhD research is now published in @NatureComms! If you're interested in non-canonical Wnt signaling during convergent extension, check it out! We developed a novel model suggesting that Dvl2 oligomerization modulates a binding switch from Vangl2 to Fz7.

Today, May 12, is Mother’s Day. A special mother and brilliant mathematician was also born today: Maryam Mirzakhani, the first female Fields medalist (and to date, one of only two female Fields medalists). In her honor, her birthday, which is on May 12, is now celebrated as Women in Mathematics Day.

I'm wondering how an equation for "the cellular fabric of space-time" would look like

“It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.”

Photographer Wu Yung-sen has been deep sea diving and photographing marine life for four years.

On a blackwater dive—unable to see the bottom and surrounded by impenetrable space—he chanced upon a rare larval Wunderpus octopus, totally transparent.

Many thanks to the Nobel Peace Prize committee for this well-deserved choice for the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize.
We are hopeful this will bring international attention to the fight of Iranian people, particularly the women of Iran, for freedom, justice and democracy in Iran.

Honored to be recognized in the Fall issue of my alma mater’s magazine. Although in the place of “Hero”, I would say a “a good biochemist” as “Hero” was their choice of word @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @kennesawstate https://t.co/frKzFBpXOF
