A great pleasure hosting Christopher Vakoc for distinguished cancer series at Penn Medicine . Thank you for sharing exciting discoveries on #transcription #signaling vulnerabilities in human #cancer stemming from elegant CRISPR screens! Christopher Vakoc Gerd Blobel Junwei Shi Irfan Asangani


Interested in transcriptional condensates and their dysregulation in diseases? Check out our mini-review on recent advances in mechanisms, biological functions, and open questions in this area, led by kaeli mathias and Yiman Liu. free access authors.elsevier.com/a/1j8Sx,LqAZbc…


bittersweet moment as we send off our absolutely amazing technician, Sylvia, to MD/PhD #WashU and high school student, Samantha, to college Cornell University I chose the book by Katalin Kariko hoping it inspires them to continue breaking through the next chapter of life #proudPI #womeninstem


Congrats Michael Ortiz Alex Kentsis MD, PhD on a successful meeting that brings patient advocates, physicians, and basic scientists together to advance #pediatric #renaltumors. Such an amazing community! And thrilled to share our work on #epigenetics in kidney development/tumor! #mskkids

annual departmental Univ. of Pennsylvania Department of Cancer Biology retreat at #skytop beautiful place, great science, and lots of interactions and fun! And, our amazing sophomore Michele found out her acceptance into Flexmed program Mount Sinai Health System medical school!


our preprint is now out Nature Communications! Using genetic mouse models, single cell multiomics, and chemical approach, this study reveals new epigenetic mechanisms linking disrupted embryonic kidney development and pediatric renal tumor (Wilms). full-text access rdcu.be/dNPbC

Impact of #epigenetic regulator ENL – mutated in childhood #kidney #cancer #Wilmstumour – on developing kidney's gene regulatory landscape before & after birth. Image & research by Lele Song & Qinglan Li et al Liling Wan @UPenn in Nature Communications. On bpod.org.uk/archive/2024/7…



Excited to see our paper officially out in the August issue of Cancer Discovery !


Please Repost- Excited to be recruiting @CEI-FCCC Fox Chase Cancer Center #epigenetic #faculty to continue building our energetic, interactive, supportive #collegial environment Our goal- Basic Discovery & help translate to positively impact patients Apply here- jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/665030/fac…

Had a great time visiting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and sharing our work on chromatin mechanisms in cancer! Huge thanks to Jun Qi Lab for the invitation and generous hosting. So much fun reconnecting with mentor & old friends, making new ones, & a full day of amazing science!


Going to #AACR25 this April? I am excited to chair a Major Symposium on biomolecular condensates in cancer-from tools to mechanisms to therapeutics, with talks by Rick Young, Xiaokun Shu @shulab2010, and me. Don't miss it if you are around and interested! abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20273/s…



Attending the #AACR25 Major Symposium on Biomolecular Condensates in Cancer? Read recent work by session chair Liling Wan showing that condensate-promoting mutations are drivers of tumorigenesis brnw.ch/21wSk2M


Thrilled to receive the Tony Hunter Award (Junior Investigator) from the Association of Chinese Americans in Cancer Research and to present our work alongside senior awardee Dr. Chuan He. Proud to be part of this amazing community! #immigrant #CancerResearch Penn Medicine CSO
