I’m so excited to share our work on how m6A controls HSC fate! 🥳🥳🥳Very grateful to the support from my mentor Michael Kharas MSK, awesome labmates and collaborators Mariela Cortés López Dan Landau Quaid Morris Erin Ahn Cell Stem Cell please stop by sat night at poster #1297 ASH

Although I can’t travel to #ASH23, my student Leah Gehrs will represent our lab! Please come to poster #1301 on Saturday night to learn about our SON KO mouse models 🐭, SON’s function in HSC lineage fate, and how SON affects #ZTTKSyndrome. Collab with Rui LU, @SteveLimLab1

Can mutant splicing factors programs exist in the absence of mutations? In our new preprint bit.ly/3SBqZSX with Lee Grimes Lab Daniel Starczynowski Amit Verma, we show these programs exist broadly in AML, impact LSC survival and can be reversed. #OncoSplice #PRMT5 #IRAK4

Please spread the word!! This is the motivation of my science and my reason for working. #ZTTKsyndrome #SON. A Somerville boy has one of world’s rarest diseases bostonglobe.com/2024/02/28/bus… via The Boston Globe
