Happy Birthday, Shan!

We are recruiting passionate individuals for Tenure Track Faculty positions in the areas of Stem Cell Biology, Cancer and Metabolism and/or Genetics. Deadline to apply is Nov 1! Spread the word! bit.ly/JoinCRI

Congratulations to our very own @Nicholas_Lesner for being awarded an NRSA from the NIH! Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern CRI Graduate Student Awarded Ruth L. Kirschstein Predoctoral Award cri.utsw.edu/cri-graduate-s…

Could changes in our mitochondria influence cancer progression? Spencer Shelton(Spencer Shelton), a graduate student in the MishraLab, is working to understand how mutations in our mitochondrial DNA could explain why certain melanomas spread and others don't. #MelanomaMonday

Meet Xun Wang, a former physical therapist who helped athletes w/skeletal muscle injuries. As a MishraLab postdoc, Xun now works to uncover new ways to repair skeletal tissues by examining how changes in mitochondria affect muscle stem cells. #LifeAtCRI ow.ly/blzk50AKAZh

There are no effective treatments for the 1/4,000 people diagnosed w/ mitochondrial diseases each year. MishraLab grad student Nicholas Lesner hopes to change that by studying how cells adapt their metabolism to mutations in mitochondria DNA. #LifeAtCRI cri.utsw.edu/life-at-the-in…

Applications for tenure-track faculty positions are now open. We’re seeking researchers interested in joining a collaborative and dynamic institute focused on the areas of stem cells, cancer, metabolism and genetics. Apply by November 1 ⤵️ ow.ly/Xkub50BhzXN

It is #mitoawarenessweek! Learn how researchers in the MishraLab are mapping out how our mitochondria are embedded into normal cellular function to understand how mitochondrial diseases occur. Their work could lead to new clinical tools and therapeutic options. #mitoawareness

Happy to share our new review in Trends in Cancer focusing on the role of the mitochondrial genome in human cancer. Big thanks to David McFadden and Prashant Mishra (MishraLab) and Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina / Fritz Thyssen Foundation for funding me. cell.com/trends/cancer/…

Meet Dr. Benjamin Ohlstein, our newest faculty member! He's studying the normal development of intestinal stem cells & how abnormalities in this process lead to diseases like cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease & premature aging. Learn more. ⤵️ cri.utsw.edu/meet-dr-ben-oh…
