We spent 3.5 hours hiking at the breakneck ridge trail. Thanks to @dapengyang2012 for organizing (again)! The timing was perfect (for the train) and the weather was super nice. Welcome @denistorrre to join the lab!
Our story on the discovery of enhancers of core endoderm-specifying transcription factors is out in @NatureGenet. @IGVFConsortium@4DNucleome. Consider joining us if you are interested in enhancers, human development and #stemcell
Thanks to #MSKFunFund for supporting another lab outing. We say goodbye to our awesome Jey, who's joining @WeillCornellGS, and welcome new members Sharon and Pallavi. Thanks to our summer students and rotation students for energizing the lab. @MSKEducation@UshmaNeill
In addition to three days of pure scientific fun immersed in genetic analysis and disease modeling using pluripotent stem cells at the @jacksonlab “Diversity in a Dish” workshop, we also had great fun hiking and enjoy the great view!
Our inaugural @jacksonlab symposium on pluripotent #StemCells in genetic analysis and disease modeling wrapped up today! Thanks to the attendees and speakers for excellent seminars, hands-on methodological and data analysis workshops, and evening discussions. 👏
My very first contribution to the cancer study now is online. Congrats @Jihong_Cui and @WenjunGuoLab! I am so happy to be involved in this promising discovery!
Excited to share our latest work @NatureCellBio, identifying a role of MLL3/KMT2C mutations in allowing cancer cells to acquire highly metastatic hybrid EMT state. Spearheaded by @Jihong_Cui, great teamwork with Kai Ge, @zhengdy, @DanweiHuangfu groups. https://t.co/OsYpaCfgQA
Congratulations to @LickertHeiko for winning the Pro-Scentia-Award from the Eckhart-Buddecke-Stiftung! 👏
The ceremony took place on September 16th during the 10th GSCN conference. @gscn_office
Congratulations to @DanweiHuangfu and her team including former NYSTEM trainee Dapeng Yang for their recent paper on #CRISPR screening and HHEX in pancreatic lineage commitment and plasticity restriction. https://t.co/bYRWB2Ofwb
Its gratifying to see that someone still cares about HHEX in endoderm-- https://t.co/rGVdy4qjbN! Very coherent, but surprising phenotype; HHEX suppresses liver differentiation to promote pancreas from @DanweiHuangfu and collaborators. Impressive set of targets and interactors.
@josh_brickman@DanweiHuangfu Thank you, Josh. We were also surprised by the phenotype at the very beginning, as HHEX was widely recognized as a key regulator of liver development.
