Sebastian Khan

NIH-JHU PhD candidate in the Akera Lab at @nih_nhlbi - but still evolving

[Rajiv McCoy @rajivmccoy]

New work by Mia Yang's lab reports evidence of prevalent aneuploidies in human trophoblast stem cells and suggests that chromosomal instability may be a normal feature of placental development. https://t.co/TYUFzK2edY

@Eswara_Lab Fascinating results! Redundancies in biology are always intriguing. Excited to see this in print and congratulations to everyone involved!

[Takashi Akera @TakashiAkeraLab]

It is a great honor to receive the Outstanding Mentor Award at the NHLBI research retreat!🎉Thank you SO much to my lab members for the nomination and the Fellows Advisory Committee for organizing the research retreat! Now I have a trophy that is not from my marathon races🥳

Preprint🚨on a new mechanism of genetic cheating in meiosis! 🧬We found that a mouse selfish DNA, R2d2, combines the elements of both male and female meiotic drivers! (gamete sabotaging in female meiosis)

Glad to share our latest preprint!
With our unique live imaging method for fertilized mouse eggs, we highlighted the importance of Ca2+ oscillations in retaining spindle position to form a small polar body and a large egg.

Still can’t believe these two are my closest mentors. What a fantastic story!Go read it!

Our first research paper is now published at nature! 🎉🐭🔬We found that F1 hybrid female mice can have defective chromosome condensation in oocytes, creating a reproductive isolating barrier. Congrats again to our postdoc, Warif El Yakoubi🎊

More than half of IVF embryos stop developing only a few days after fertilization. Our recent research shows that mosaic aneuploidies caused by abnormal initial cell divisions are extremely common and help explain the high observed rates of embryo arrest. https://t.co/yD7ktrIbxF

Officially a PhD candidate. The journey continues! Thanks to everyone in @HopkinsCMDB for a fantastic first year. Excited to see what’s next.

[Takashi Akera @TakashiAkeraLab]

Went out for a lab lunch to celebrate successful summer internship for Naomi Greenberg and PhD rotation for @SebastianKhan8 🍲🍛 We really enjoyed doing science with you this summer!👍

[Takashi Akera @TakashiAkeraLab]

Congrats @duilio_sil on his review paper on non-centromeric meiotic drivers in mammalian eggs!🎉 Thanks a lot @HarmitMalik and Judith Mank for editing this series! free link until 8/22/2023☟

@Sledgehammer62 I would agree with this!

Day 1 at the NIH. Things are different, yet the same. I am not a fan of building 10. I feel like a mouse in a maze in there.

I am super excited to welcome Tye Chicha and Emma Steinson as new grad students in the Johnston lab!!

[USF College of Arts and Sciences @CASatUSF]

The @WHO labels antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections as one of today's most significant threats to human health. However, a team of #USF researchers is working hard to change that.

See how in the latest edition of #theHUB: https://t.co/bjJywrFw2E

@RamamurthiLab @Dr_Savage_Sci Heartbreaking news. Meeting her during the stress responses GRC was a welcome introduction to the NIH community. My condolences.

[Sebastian Khan @SebastianKhan8]

@buitengebieden @elegansdiversus ideas for the storm?

[Rob Brzozowski @BrzozowskiRob]

Had the opportunity to finally attend a graduation ceremony nearly three years after actually graduating from @USouthFlorida. Still incredibly thankful for such a great graduate experience with the @Eswara_Lab. Congrats Dr.s @Maria_9327 and @LHammond30 !

[Sebastian Khan @SebastianKhan8]

Keeping my USF people in my thoughts today. Stay safe everyone.
