Congrats as well to @RJDLab and @thomaspmathews for a huge grant to continue to build the outstanding metabolomics facility in @CRI_UTSW. Ralph has more mass spectrometers than anyone I know!

[Richard Voit @RichardVoit]

Next month the Voit lab will open @UTSW_PedsHemOnc @CRI_UTSW @utswcancer continuing our work studying transcriptional dysregulation in pediatric bone marrow failure and leukemia. Looking to hire at all levels, yes even level 10.

Website and official job posting coming soon.

👀 we spy @Zhu_Lab! Tag us in your selfies with this liver research master at #SLAM24 #relentlessdiscovery

[Hao Zhu Lab @Zhu_Lab]

Min Zhu et al. show that somatic mutations in PKD1 (POLYCYSTIN1) are selected for in chronically damaged livers because they promote hepatocyte clone fitness without driving carcinogenesis. This shows that some somatic mutations are beneficial. (1/8) https://t.co/5Gz4pfwXy5

[Daniel Siegwart @DJSiegwart]

Thrilled to share our new paper in Science @ScienceMagazine demonstrating durable genome editing in lung stem cells for cystic fibrosis treatment! Congrats to @YehuiSun , Sumanta Chatterjee, and all our collaborators! @GDE_UTSW @utswnews #CRISPR #LNP

Read it here: https://t.co/OGzDdFGzaj Happy to talk more- How can we use our lab's tools & data to help you?

Led by Lily Xu @UTSWMedCenter Med student, Katilyn Saunders, and Shawn Huang @UTSWmstp. 🙏 to funders @SusanGKomen @metavivor @theNCI. Collab w/ @GRASPtweets who gave *great* patient insight & Lin Xu, @smreddymd @hmcarthur @utswcancer, & my dear friend who knows @tomhanks @RoussosTorres. @UTSWHemeOnc @BiotechClubUTSW @UTSWInternalMed @UTSWCancerBio @CellRepMed

[Umaru Barrie, MD, PhD @MansaBarrie]

Today I was told that I will be the first Guinean/Guinean-American to complete a combined MD-PhD in the USA

AND will be first to get into a neurosurgery residency in the US, as well

This is an honor & testament to the power of opportunities

Thankful for my family & mentors

[Umaru Barrie, MD, PhD @MansaBarrie]

in 2016, we all started our MSTP (MD-PhD) program together, now i'm glad to say we have all matched to our preferred specialties and institutions

I am super proud of each and every of my MSTP colleagues.

8 YEARS LATER!
WE have MADE IT!

Great to see CRI researcher @DrDrNatasha’s work highlighted as she & @Zhu_Lab continue to dig into causes of biliary atresia — a rare pediatric liver disease that affects ~1 in 12,000 U.S. infants. #womeninSTEM #relentlessdiscovery

[Jian Xu @JianXuLab]

Very proud of our very own MTSP student Giovanni Botten for a terrific presentation #ASH22 and the Minority Graduate Student abstract achievement award. Gio discovered new mechanisms on enhancer hijacking in leukemia biology. Congrats! @JianXuLab @CRI_UTSW @UTSWNews @UTSWmstp

[Evan Noch @EvanNoch]

Excited to share our new paper out in @PNASNews https://t.co/Yqy1aFqBlY on cysteine susceptibility in #glioma. This was a long effort over years with @CantleyLab @Lnpalma @isaiah_yim Nayah Bullen @barnettd37 @JanKrumsiek @ElementoLab among others @WCMCNeurology @WCM_MeyerCancer

[Sean Morrison @SJMorrison_]

Congrats to this exceptional group of NCI outstanding investigators, particularly Ralph DeBerardinis (@RJDLab). Ralph leads @CRI_UTSW efforts in cancer metabolism as well as improving the diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism in children https://t.co/SHSz9po6PY
