Honored and grateful to receive funding from @sitcancer to support my postdoc research on the therapeutic potential of endogenous retroelements in blood cancers!

[Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer @sitcancer]

Please join us in congratulating the recipients of the 2025 SITC #ForwardFund Fellowships. Through dedicated funding, these fellowships help support the next generation of cancer immunotherapy professionals. Learn more about the recipients here: https://t.co/8mHMS4uSiJ

@Ella_Maru @broadinstitute @BostonChildrens That’s an interesting question that we investigated in a follow up manuscript. Hope to share soon!

[Mohamad Ali Najia @MohamadNajia]

Excited to share the 1st of several stories dissecting TEs + chromatin in normal/malignant hematopoiesis. We identified histone demethylases KDM4A/C as vulnerabilities in DLBCL + discovered novel KDM4 inhibitors. Preprint👇

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”

[Mohamad Ali Najia @MohamadNajia]

@pvtodorov @metapredict We definitely looked into that (Figs S3+6). Also a typical mammalian cell has ~200,000 mRNAs (PMID 23897237) and we measured ~1000 transcripts exported/cell/day which is a degree of subsampling that isn't overtly perturbative in the contexts tested

[Rizwan Romee @romeerizwan]

Excited to share our paper in @NatureBiotech, work led by Shaobo Yang and @MichalSheffer in my lab in collaboration with @JiaheLi276994 @UMich

Excited to share how @jacobborrajo Anna Le and I are enabling the future of profiling dynamic cellular processes! We built a synthetic RNA export pathway for cells to "self-report" their transcriptional states in real-time. Big thanks to the entire team!

I wrote a N&V: https://t.co/t3P1ZOHAZ5 y’all, if you love transposable elements, go check out the paper “Highjacking of transcriptional condensates by endogenous retroviruses”. It is wild! https://t.co/UZYRhFixUI @NatureGenet

Had a blast at #ISSCR2022 catching up with old friends, making new ones and presenting my PhD research from @mit_hst and @BCHStemCell. Also humbled to receive a merit award! @ISSCR

[Edroaldo Lummertz da Rocha @edroaldorocha]

@caro_kubaczka and I are thrilled to share our latest paper @NatureCellBio: https://t.co/ABWhJsK8zD. This new algorithm and multipronged collaboration w/ @sugden_wade @NorthTrista @G_Q_Daley identified unexpected regulators of HSPC development. #CellComm #hematopoiesis
