Proud to share that this week I’ve passed my qualifying exam, and in the last year I’ve presented at the ISMMS Cancer Biology Retreat, won a Travel Award at the RUNX1-FPD Scientific Conference, and completed my coursework to ascend to candidacy! Huge thank you to my village :)

I am thrilled to announce that I have joined the Izzo Lab for my doctoral studies! Under the guidance of @FrancoIzzo85, I will be leveraging cutting edge single-cell technologies to investigate how clonal hematopoiesis can predispose patients to blood malignancies.

Proud to have attended the #StandUpForScience NYC rally today at Washington Square Park with several of my fellow Icahn Mount Sinai graduate students. We are fighting for science, truth, inclusion, health, and our future!

Starting off my PhD journey with a new addition to my wardrobe!

We recently celebrated our 7th Annual Lab Coat Ceremony. First year PhD students and third year MSTP students received their lab coats, which marks the beginning of their journey in academic research and training.

1/10 The cell cycle mediates cell growth & division. Each phase has distinct biosynthetic requirements that are necessary for successful progression, indicating that phase-specific control of metabolism is essential. But how this occurs is largely unknown.

Happy to share our findings on cell cycle phase-specific control of the master metabolic regulator mTOR Complex 1!

Special thanks to everyone involved, including current and former lab members, our collaborators, and 3 outstanding reviewers! Tweetorial to follow soon.

mTORC1 activity oscillates throughout the cell cycle, promoting mitotic entry and differentially influencing autophagy induction https://t.co/lvtg5p8rpg

@nsinghbio Thank you Nanda!

[Ariel Lerner @lerner_ariel]

I'm excited to share that I have committed to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to pursue my PhD in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in Cancer Biology! I am thrilled at the opportunity to further my education and research career at the place where it all began in 2000.

[Ariel Lerner @lerner_ariel]

@AlexValvezan @RutgersCABM @jay_n_joshi Couldn’t have done it without you!

[Ariel Lerner @lerner_ariel]

it’s the start of my last week as a research specialist @RutgersCABM and feeling so grateful to @AlexValvezan and my whole lab for an amazing (almost) two years!

[Ariel Lerner @lerner_ariel]

@LiisaVeerus @RutgersCABM @AlexValvezan @jay_n_joshi Thank you Liisa! Loved getting to know you and so thankful for everything that you do for our community💕

@ninawowp I am! Would love to catch up sometime soon and we can chat all about it.

[Ariel Lerner @lerner_ariel]

So grateful to have presented at the Rutgers Cancer Institute-Ludwig Princeton Branch at Princeton University Annual Cancer Research Symposium this past Tuesday! Big thanks to my collaborators, lab, and friends and family for their support and encouragement. To many more!

@MansaSrivastav Congrats Mansa!!!

[Wendy Clement @WLClement]

Congrats to @Santiago_DC_ on his first #botany2022 talk! Want to hear more about #honeysuckle #herbivory and #herbarium specimens? Join us at Siya Kakumanu’s poster 105 tonight! #undergraduateresearch #PUI #futureofbotany @TCNJBiology @TCNJScience

Despite not being drivers of cancer, further research into the relatively unexplored #f-circRNAs could give insight for their possible abundance in other cancers, as well as their roles as therapeutic or diagnostic targets, which could potentially slow cancer progression 14/14

The following thread is a #Tweetorial for BIO445 - Cancer Genetics, focusing on Guarnerio et al. 2016: Oncogenic Role of Fusion-circRNAs Derived from Cancer-Associated Chromosomal Translocations (https://t.co/LTRR2i6qvI) 1/14

[Ariel Lerner @lerner_ariel]

Aberrant translocations are known drivers of cancer, with a variety of possible products. For those that produce fusion proteins, another product, #f-circRNAs, has been discovered to provide growth and survival advantages to cancer cells when expressed with fusion proteins 13/14
