We study how stem cells migrate and differentiate into neurons and how cancer cells can hijack some of those mechanisms. @UABHeersink

Proud to have had Lynne Nacke, scientist at @SaxenaLab in Birmingham and advocate with @ACSCAN represent the great state of #Alabama at the Senate LHHS hearing. She met with @SenKatieBritt to ask for the highest possible increase for #cancerresearchfunding at @NIH and @theNCI

Alabama cancer researcher joins @SenKatieBritt in push for continued federal investment.

“We must protect our nation’s scientific progress in cancer research done in labs like the one in which I work in Birmingham.”

TY @ALReporter for your coverage of our #ALCancerActionDay and Research Symposium, including interviewing Dr. Ankur Saxena (@SaxenaLab) about the event. https://t.co/wd5yN4pEMi

[ACS CAN Alabama @ACSCAN_Alabama]

Will we see you at the Cancer Research Symposium at the State House? Come hear from over 50 researchers and celebrate the groundbreaking research being done across Alabama and recent legislative wins with us on March 31!

Great morning rallying with cancer advocates from Alabama and across the nation in support of the Nancy Gardner Sewell MCED Act! What a befitting tribute to my late mother to spend her birthday fighting for greater access to cancer screenings.

Special thanks to @ACSCAN and their wonderful volunteers! Let’s get this bill passed!!

Happy #FluorescenceFriday! New gorgeous data obtained by @CamiloE_! We are so excited to be using new tools in the lab to better understand cytoskeletal control of #NeuralCrest cell migration. #DevBio

@uribelabrice @RodrigoMoreC Congrats!!

[Rosa Uribe, PhD @uribelabrice]

Check out our new work led by @RodrigoMoreC published today! We show that sequential, multiplexed HCR in whole-mount larval zebrafish revealed 3D spatial gene expression groups at the cellular and gut-levels in the enteric nervous system!

Being asked about crazy inflated numbers by antivaxers re: number of vaccines kids get. Here’s my breakdown on how we went from vaccinating vs 8 diseases in 1980s when I was a pediatric resident to 16 diseases, of which 11 diseases are combined into 2 shots (you can click on it)
