Super excited to share our review that's out today!

Here, we have comprehensively reviewed seminal work in the field and highlighted how oxygen-dependent enzymes work in a time-dependent (!) manner.

Our preprint is out! Here, we describe a framework for simulating cf-chromatin using preclinical models, and sequential profiling using WGS (cfMNase-Seq) and cfChIP-Seq for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3. @main_sasha @BratmanLab https://t.co/3scK8cf9Mu

How much of our knowledge of IL-1β explains the rest of the IL-1 family? How much of our knowledge of mouse IL-1 applies to human IL-1? Despite being studied for decades, so much more to learn.

PhD in a nutshell

Honoured to receive the Vanier Scholarship! All credit to my mentors who altruistically support me in my academic endeavours. Special thank you to my family & friends for their love & support - research is riddled with highs & lows and I’m grateful for having them through both!

That’s a wrap! This #IRCC2023 was a hit ✨ thanks to the organizers and my supervisor @MKoritzinsky to let me present my work on how redox homeostasis helps in radiosensitizing the TME in PDAC. Fantastic and inspiring talks and speakers! @RRS_RadRes #CancerResearch #cancertherapy

Grateful and honored to have been awarded Banting. Special thanks to my mentors for their continued support!

Super proud of Mathepan - he is perhaps one of the most deserving people I know. If you haven't met Mathepan, he is incredibly passionate (about medicine and research) and kind. A heart of gold - no one else deserves this more.

Humbled to receive a #VanierCanada scholarship from @CIHR_IRSC for our work on the heart issues childhood cancer survivors endure! Vanier wouldn't have been possible w/o the people and communities I worked with in Scarborough and Princess Margaret, who inspired me to do an MD/PhD

I thought Limp Bizkit could Break Stuff, but NINJ1 does a pretty good job too. Fascinating study by Broz, Hiller and colleagues explains how NINJ1 breaks cells wide open. Kudos to the authors on this important discovery.

Shoutout to @cindylovescells for teaching my students about radiation biology and immunotherapy this rainy morning !

@cindylovescells knows the way to my heart. #happyvday

An ancient posttranslational modification controls an innate immune signaling protein. Gasdermin D must be oxidized on cys192 to induce pyroptosis. So proud of my fantastic student Pascal Devant and his co-authors Elvira Boršić & Elsy Ngwa.
