Happy to share our work on hepatoblastoma - using transcriptomics and patient-derived tumoroids to identify embryonic biliary transcription factor SOX4 as a modifier of Wnt activation & proliferation - in final form today @NatComms https://t.co/1oquDydgZh

[Peng V. Wu, MD, PhD @pengwu321]

@shianed29 Thanks for your interest! I am recruiting from anywhere. Feel free to email me if you have questions.

[Peng V. Wu, MD, PhD @pengwu321]

My lab is looking for a postdoc to take the lead in our efforts to understand how hepatobiliary lineage programs and growth signals in the developing liver promote tumorigenesis. Please share and reach out if interested - https://t.co/wlhjQBjsrJ

The secret sauce for starting a new lab is to set up the right kind of culture; one that best enables innovative science with its “enthusiasm, lucid criticism, nonconformism, and friendship” (Francois Jacob)

We asked the inaugural cohort of Damon Runyon-St. Jude Pediatric Cancer Research Fellows why funding is so critical for childhood cancer research. Here’s what they told us: https://t.co/uC9jGxZ6YJ

@drsmallsaunders @NIH_CommonFund @cuimc_id @ColumbiaMed Amazing! Congrats!!

[Peng V. Wu, MD, PhD @pengwu321]

Thrilled to have officially started my lab @CincyChildrens @ChildrensCBDI! We're studying tumorigenesis during embryonic and early postnatal development, with a focus on the liver. Please don't hesitate to reach out if interested (in any capacity)! https://t.co/3PSaths7b7

In today's Cell, we propose a “developmental constraint” model whereby cancer cell state plasticity is restricted by the organism’s developmental map to access progenitor-like states and differentiated-like states of adjacent lineages.🧵⬇️

Amazing work solving this problem at human telomeres! Near and dear to me as my own PhD focused on this question but alas only in mice

[Sarah Cai @SarahWCai]

Out now in @CellCellPress - a perfect way to cap my PhD before convocation tomorrow! [1/5]

@R_Mallarino I'm looking for a research assistant to help start my lab @CincyChildrens studying tumorigenesis in the developing liver

[Peng V. Wu, MD, PhD @pengwu321]

Congrats to fellow Nusse lab postdoc Megan Agajanian on being selected as a Leading Edge fellow!! @DevBioStanford

[Peng V. Wu, MD, PhD @pengwu321]

Thanks to the organizers from @ForbeckForums, donors, and volunteers who make these meetings happen!

[Peng V. Wu, MD, PhD @pengwu321]

What a great few days sharing the latest in different fields of cancer research at the @ForbeckForums Scholars Spring Retreat in Lake Geneva, WI! Coincidentally ran into two other scholars & pediatric oncologists/physician-scientists who attended my same high school @IMSAAlumni!

[Peng V. Wu, MD, PhD @pengwu321]

Thanks to @TriIMDPhD classmate @freddyeescorcia for showing me around NIH, his awesome lab, & downtown Bethesda! Great way to cap off a few days of exciting science at the HHMI meeting in Janelia.

[Freddy E Escorcia @freddyeescorcia]

THE best perk of being at a hub for scientists is reconnecting with friends and colleagues.

Great seeing and catching up with pediatric oncologist/scientist extraordinaire Dr. Peng Wu @pengwu321, a @TriIMDPhD program alumna (in my class!) while she visited @HHMIJanelia campus!
