1/ 🚀 Excited to share our latest work mapping the Epigenetic Atlas of Bladder Cancer, now out in @MCR_AACR!
A long-time-coming labor of love led with @AminNassarMD @sarahaboualaiwi, @DrChoueiri, #KwiatkowskiLab & #FreedmanLab.

Very excited our paper is online! @adib_elio @WinstonCheung5 @SylvanBacaLab @DrChoueiri #MattFreedman. https://t.co/Qte5qBrE61 We profile chromatin and transcription across normal kidney →primary ccRCC→metastasis to define what changes (and what persists) during progression 1/

@SylvanBacaLab Thanks, Sylvan! Excited to share our new preprint with the community. Grateful to all collaborators who made this work possible.

Fascinating study at the intersection of #liquidbiopsy and #genetics led by Ziwei Zhang and Surya Chhetri: https://t.co/ArOo6JS8HG. They found that circulating chromatin in blood can reveal how genetic variants contribute to disease by affecting gene regulation.

[Sylvan Baca MD PhD (Hiring!) @SylvanBacaLab]

So proud of mentees @RazaneHChehade, @KarlSemaan, @RashadNawfal, and @marc_eid for their fantastic talks at ASCO #GU25. Their translational projects should lead to better outcomes for patients with kidney or prostate cancer.

[Ziwei Zhang @WinstonCheung5]

@KarlSemaan Best of luck!

Thank you, @DanaFarber! I'm so grateful and excited to use this award to push the boundaries of epigenomic liquid biopsy to improve cancer care.

[Ziwei Zhang @WinstonCheung5]

@mourisl Congrats!!!

[Ziwei Zhang @WinstonCheung5]

@SylvanBacaLab Thanks so much!!! Absolutely thrilled to continue my academic journey at HSPH. Grateful for all the support and opportunities in the lab that have led me to this moment! 🙌🙌🙌

[Sylvan Baca MD PhD (Hiring!) @SylvanBacaLab]

Thrilled to learn that Ziwei Zhang (@WinstonCheung5) in my lab will be staying at Harvard for his PhD in Population Health Sciences. Congrats Ziwei!

[Sylvan Baca MD PhD (Hiring!) @SylvanBacaLab]

Couldn't have said better myself what makes this place special. Thanks @DanaFarber for enabling and highlighting our collaboration with Dr. Freedman and @DrChoueiri!

[Sylvan Baca MD PhD (Hiring!) @SylvanBacaLab]

Excited to discuss #liquidbiopsies in rare GU cancers at #ISLB23 alongside a great speaker lineup! It's not too late to join virtually or in person: https://t.co/hDX7IjkChA

[Sylvan Baca MD PhD (Hiring!) @SylvanBacaLab]

Excited to share our latest work: “liquid biopsy epigenomic profiling for cancer
subtyping”, JUST IN @NatureMedicine https://t.co/cwM0MpCrhX

[Sylvan Baca MD PhD (Hiring!) @SylvanBacaLab]

Exciting work presented by Ziwei Zhang on cistrome-wide association studies of kidney cancer at #ASHG2023! The rapidly growing number of epigenomic profiles from cancer are a gold-mine for studying #GWAS risk variants in noncoding DNA.

[Sylvan Baca MD PhD (Hiring!) @SylvanBacaLab]

We're #hiring a computational #postdoc! PhD in computer science or other quantitative field? Join our mission: push the boundaries of precision #oncology with computational #epigenomics and #AI.
