@CDBMicroCore @LabSpeck @CAMBUpenn I did ! Thanks @CDBMicroCore for all the help over the years!!

Our graduate student Elizabeth successfully defended her thesis yesterday! Thank you to everyone who came both in person and virtually !

[Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2]

Night before my defense and someone on my committee is settling in to read all 300 pages of my thesis I’m sure 😏

[Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2]

Defending tomorrow and tbh feels like it’s my birthday… so excited to finally finish grad school and celebrate 🥳👩🏼‍🔬🧪

@AChronicPane @CAMBUpenn @HaoYin20 @LabSpeck @AChronicPane I'm not able to message you. Maybe try messaging me first ?

[Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2]

@AChronicPane @CAMBUpenn @HaoYin20 @LabSpeck I’ll DM you the link ☺️☺️

[CAMB Graduate Group @CAMBUpenn]

Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2 from the Speck lab @LabSpeck defends tomorrow!

[Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2]

@RlisLab @endothelialnews @PennMedicine Oh no 🤣🤣. I’ve been getting @LizHowellMD emails since she came to Penn so it’s only fair she gets mistaken for me once

@jjiang1213 @WeillCornell @Penn Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed our work 🙏

[Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2]

@QinZhu_1 Thanks Qin!!

Have you ever wondered what makes an endothelial cell permissive to be reprogrammed by RUNX1 to a blood cell? Well I have the answer for you - see article and 🧵https://t.co/KmM2Ih07oV

We're excited to have CAMB Students Yeqiao Zhou @YeqiaoZhou (Faryabi @bfariabi and Pear labs) and Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2 (Speck @LabSpeck lab) give their talks during the CAMB Symposium a little later today at 3:15pm and 3:40pm!

@NorthTrista It didn’t start that way 😂 but I’m glad it makes a lot of sense now

[Daniel Kessler @DanielKessler10]

Congratulations Elizabeth and Nancy! Beautiful work!! @CAMBUpenn @pennbgs @Howell_ED2 @LabSpeck

[Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2]

Excited to finally share what I've been working on the last few years! This work wouldn't have been possible without the amazing help of @KaiTanLab1 , @cdktmw , @penggao8 , @hb8812 , @Melike_Lak , @RafiiShahin, @LabSpeck & twitter-less Amanada Yzaguirre

This work highlights the importance of TGFb target genes in EHT as well as the cooperativity of RUNX1, AP-1, and SMAD factors in activating these TGFb target genes that are involved in the morphological component of EHT
