🥳🧬💻🤓 Thank you to everyone who joined me on Friday and helped me celebrate via Zoom!

[Witte Lab @WitteLab]

Congratulations to @emmalyn_chen for completing her PhD in the @PspgUcsf program! Dr. Chen has done amazing work characterizing the utility of cell-free DNA in prostate cancer. She has been an awesome @WitteLab member and has a very bright future! @AvailBioInc @johnwitte

New @Wittelab study from alum @clintcario developing a #MachineLearning approach trained on 550 ICGC prostate tumors to create a broad, yet sensitive, cfDNA sequencing panel for detecting low-burden, heterogeneous disease. https://t.co/ZIxJjqz7wr

[Witte Lab @WitteLab]

Kicking off 2020 with a new @WitteLab publication in @NatureComms from @Linda_Kachuri, showing a causal link between pulmonary function impairment and lung cancer risk using data from @uk_biobank & International Lung Cancer Consortium. @UCSF_Epibiostat https://t.co/ugyO1dJ3Mz

Witte Lab Retreat 2019 - hike to Alamere falls 🌊🚐

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

Packed room for Dr. Donnella’s PhD exit talk on “Designing rational combination strategies for overcoming drug resistance in breast cancer”! Can’t wait to see where you’re headed next 🤓@donnella_hayley @SBLabUCSF

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

Professor Witte is an amazing advisor! His support and mentorship is 100% the reason why I’ve had such a great graduate school experience.

[Witte Lab @WitteLab]

We are hiring! Opportunities for statistical genetics, genetic epidemiology, and cancer genomics. 🧬 Looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic person to join our team! See job posting attached.

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

@MaikeMorrison was the most wonderful student to have in the @WitteLab this summer. Any PhD program would be lucky to have her as part of their incoming cohort!

[Witte Lab @WitteLab]

Congratulations to Amgen Scholar @MaikeMorrison for completing her summer project: GWAS of immune response to common pathogens in the @uk_biobank! We wish her all the best as she enters her final year of undergrad and applies to grad school! #2019sfsrtp @AmgenFoundation

So proud of all the PSPG PhD graduates today!! 🦠🧬🔬💊💻 @donnella_hayley @spaceman_ku @BeauNorgeot Christine Bowman 🎓💙💛 @atulbutte @SBLabUCSF Les Benet and Deanna Kroetz #UCSFGrad2019

[GRAIL @GrailBio]

“There are no effective early detection tests for the majority of cancer types, and many deadly cancers are often detected too late. We hope our test may offer a chance to address these challenges,” said Jennifer Cook, CEO https://t.co/6y3966NSTL #DetectCancerEarly

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

Graduate students from all UC campuses highlighting their work across disciplines in three minutes!

[University of California @UofCalifornia]

Today's the day! Tune in starting at 10:30 a.m. to watch the #GradSlam live stream and vote for your favorite speaker! https://t.co/d84ttzECrx

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

So proud of Taylor for passing her PhD quals!! There’s a new PRS scientist in town 🧐🤓🖥

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

Amazing. Lynne & Marc @Benioff donate $30M to @UCSF for new program to study causes of & solutions for #homelessness https://t.co/msWgamkmmL Initiative will be led by inspirational @MKushel & @ucsfcvp. @benioff remains remarkable force for good in SF/world #ZSFG @UCSFMedicine

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

@Cal alumni creating languages for #GameofThrones 🐉!!

[David J. Peterson @Dedalvs]

Excited to be going back to @Cal to watch the premiere of #GameOfThrones with the linguistics club I was a part of when I was a student. That’s where I started creating languages. Delightful to come full circle. :)

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

Screening of @CancerCureDoc with Dr. Jim Allison, #NobelPrize winner for checkpoint inhibition, tonight 6:30-8:30pm at the Sidney Auditorium, Georgia World Congress Center! #AACR19 https://t.co/cY6smY9Xgm

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

Paul C Boutros @UCLA highlighting the confluence of low PGA (genome stability), low hypoxia (TME oxygen), and monoclonality (evolution) predicting less aggressive prostate cancers with improved outcomes #AACR19 #AACR2019

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

Excited to be presenting my work on “Assessing the utility of cfDNA in identifying prostate cancer and characterizing tumor heterogeneity via multiregion WES” on Monday, April 1st 8AM Section 19 Board 10 https://t.co/zCcgW8AdNX Come say hi! @WitteLab @UCSFCancer #AACR2019

[Emmalyn Chen @emmalyn_chen]

.@parkerici is harnessing the multi-omic data collected from their studies to accelerate research and deliver immunotherapies. Proud to have been part of the team and contributed with my work in assessing imputation methods for scRNA-seq. Can’t wait to see where they’re headed!

[Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy @parkerici]

Even our interns are brilliant. Computational biologist Emmalyn Chen (@emmalyn_chen), a PhD candidate at @UCSF, presents on the promise of single-cell technology as a tool to help us create better cancer treatments for patients. #geneexpression #solvecancer
