Postdoctoral Fellow studying somatic mutation, CHIP, and leukemogenesis at @BostonChildrens, @broadinstitute, and @harvardmed in the lab of @bloodgenes.
Terrific to have our latest preprint out in @medrxivpreprint led by the amazing team of @la_liggett, Liam Cato, @J__Stock, and @AlexBickMDPhD: "Clonal hematopoiesis in sickle cell disease"

A recent commentary in bioRxiv discussed data analysis for our mtDNA-based lineage tracing technology ReDeeM. We welcome the points raised and are happy to address these concerns. We believe this will foster constructive dialogue (1/n) https://t.co/6aWbTRfijx
@RMeyerSchuman and I were honored to have chaired the Gordon Research Seminar (@GordonConf) this weekend. Being elected in 2018 to chair the 2020 GRS, this felt like a long time coming.
Fantastic turnout & amazing science all weekend! It’s amazing to be immersed in #genetics :)
Thrilled to share my PhD work in @CellCellPress! Massively parallel base editing to map variant effects in human hematopoiesis. We developed screens on blood stem cells to understand disease and develop treatments at single-nucleotide resolution.1/n https://t.co/NHch2YBWpL

Thanks to an awesome team, our trio-based de novo mutation rates study is now out! We estimated a rate for 68 vertebrate species and explore the male and female contributions and the impact of life-history traits on the evolution of the rate! Read more:
Published #CHIP datasets are growing exponentially! In a new preprint, we share how to reliably identify CHIP in ~550k @AllofUs genomes & @UKBiobank exomes. We find small parameters make a BIG difference in CHIP quality & disease associations.

Have you ever wondered why tumors rarely -if ever- metastasize to skeletal muscle? Our latest, led by superstar (former) @MCBSeattle graduate student and @WeintraubAward winner Sarah Crist (1/n)
Our paper on a natural mutator allele affecting the mouse germline is out in @Nature! https://t.co/xu6KmlWGcl Congratulations to the fantastic author team that made this project possible! @tomsasani @DavidAshbrook @AnnabelBeichman @AbePalmer@robwilliamsiii@jkpritch
Excited to have this terrific study - #V2F mapping at #SingleCell resolution through network propagation - led by @fulong_yu along with a fantastic team published in @NatureBiotech: https://t.co/FLyGK4JRyK
🙏 Editors/ Reviewers for valuable comments that improved this work
Extremely excited to share our work on #V2F method SCAVENGE for the disease/trait relevant causal cell type/state identification using single-cell epigenomic data https://t.co/rD9vl71LNE out now in @NatureBiotech. The R package can be found https://t.co/snBR3Fqi4o.
To maintain lifelong blood production, hematopoietic stem cells have a number of adaptations. What is the impact? We have studied a rare disease to identify one resultant liability: ferroptosis
Pre-print: Human HSC vulnerability to ferroptosis

To coincide with the team's paper release, Signal has been updated to include the more than 50 new mutational signatures across more than 18,000 cancer samples.
Today is erythropoiesis day at @BloodJournal!
Our review on erythropoiesis is out: https://t.co/x5C7Pb8hAT (w/ accompanying excellent reviews from Semenza and Cazzola)
Our new GATA1 mutant paper is also out: https://t.co/UWcJOuHDvX (w/ great preview: https://t.co/DGiV9sbt4P)
Incredibly excited to share our paper ‘Somatic mutation rates scale with lifespan across mammals’ now published @nature.

An illustrated & updated tweetorial… [1/24]
Our study led by @NakaoTetsushi uses human genetics from @nih_nhlbi TOPMed & @uk_biobank to infer that processes promoting telomere lengthening promote CHIP but CHIP in turn hastens telomere shortening https://t.co/KSGOHHJmDz @ScienceAdvances
Great to see our preprint out examining shared and distinct genetic causes of different types of clonal hematopoiesis! Terrific collaboration with @DerekWBrown_1, @liamcato, @ZhaoDylan, @jrbperry, @mitchiela:
