If you missed this, you missed a great talk and a real showcase of Tessa’s (many) talents!

Excited to share my PhD work about the function of the interaction between MYC and HCF-1!

[Tansey Lab @TanseyTweets]

Great advance, great paper, great lab!

Very excited to present our findings and ATAC-Me method published today in Molecular Cell! Huge congrats to first-author Kelly Barnett, who developed the ATAC-Me technique. ATAC-Me measures DNA methylation across the dynamic chromatin accessible genome.

A new Fesik, Coffey & Tansey labs study reveals useful probes to study the implication of WDR5 inhibition in cancers and to serve as a potential starting point toward the discovery of anti-WDR5 therapeutics. https://t.co/rFa8sKPORx @TanseyTweets @ACSPublications @VUMCResearch

Audra Foshage Bryan will be a grad student no more!

The @TanseyTweets lab graduate student will be defending her dissertation on Friday, so before you all leave for the holidays, come support her 12/20 at 2:30pm in 3131 MRBIII.

Can MYC be targeted to treat cancer? Read the paper and tell me what you think!

A new PNAS article from the Tansey & Fesik labs, "Interaction of the oncoprotein transcription factor MYC with its chromatin cofactor WDR5 is essential for tumor maintenance," zone in on MYC–WDR5 inhibitors as potential anticancer agents. https://t.co/TRlYL3zoyX @PNASNews

We turn the dial on the Wayback Machine to 1905 for this Vanderbilt history lesson of a "prominent black university" that was once located on Peabody campus. Read all about it: https://t.co/b76JhE6afi #HBCUs

Congratulations to the team for publishing on the validation of WDR5 as a therapeutic entry point for targeting MYC https://t.co/D15QYZxoRT

Full house here at @VUMC_Cancer for Steve Henikoff’s lecture. Exciting to see so much interest in chromatin biology here at Vandy. Thanks @TanseyTweets and @davidkcortez for inviting him.

[VandyBiomed @BiomedVandy]

Hello! My name is Andrew Siladi (@Andrew_Siladi) and I’m a second year Cell & Developmental Biology PhD student in the Tansey lab (@TanseyTweets). As a molecular biologist, I study how genes are turned on in cancers driven by the protein MYC. Today I’m presenting data to our team

[The Hiebert Lab @HiebertLab]

Mark your calendars, Steven Henikoff will be giving a seminar at @VUMC_Cancer next week!
