Meet our newest Center member Erica Korb, PhD from Penn Epigenetics and Penn Genetics. Another great children's environmental health research from Penn Medicine!

Join Penn Genetics on 5/2 & 5/3 for their 2023 Global Scientific Symposium, "The Genetics & Epigenetics of Behavior," ft'ing keynote speakers Schaefer Lab (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) & Keri Martinowich (Lieber Institute), discussion panels, poster sessions & more!🧬🎉 bit.ly/3zG0UsP

A new study from Laboratory of Genomic Immunology Golnaz Vahedi published in Immunity demonstrate that the multiplicity of enhancers interacting with the Ets1 gene in T cells is essential to control the precise dosage of Ets1 in response to cytokine cues. Check it out! cell.com/immunity/fullt…

In The New York Times, Daniel Rader (Penn Cardiology/ Penn Genetics/ @PennPrecisMed) discusses how a new genetic test, known as a polygenic risk score, is being used by physicians to help identify at-risk patients, guide treatment decisions & achieve better outcomes rb.gy/t84m0

I'm absolutely thrilled to share that I will be joining Penn Genetics and Penn Epigenetics as an Assistant Professor in January 2024! My lab will investigate centromere variation/evolution and its impact on health & disease using long-read sequencing! Reach out if you'd like to join!

Feeling incredibly thrilled to announce that in January 2024, I'll be joining Penn Genetics and Institute for Immunology and Immune Health (I3H) as an Assistant Professor! My lab will study the genetic basis of immune recognition of RNA and its role in health and disease. Please reach out or DM if you are interested.

We are pleased to announce that this year’s Tom Kadesch Prize in Genetics will be awarded to Rina Kim! This prize will be presented to Rina at a special session of the Genetics Friday Research in Progress Talks this winter (date TBD). Please join us in congratulating her!

The Penn Medicine community gathered Monday to toast messenger RNA pioneers and Nobel laureates Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman. “You guys are the heart of Penn Medicine, you guys are the researchers of the future,” Weissman told the crowd. Read More: bit.ly/48FIZ5J

We're celebrating Karl Glastad and Daniel Park, recipients of the Kaushal Awards! Thanks to all who joined the celebration last Friday.

Spectacular talk from our keynote speaker at Penn Genetics retreat, the one and only @levine_lab

Wow, I still can't believe it! It is such an honor to receive this award. A huge thank you to all the members of my lab through the years—this award is for all of us! Also thanks to Penn Bioengineering for taking a chance on me those many years ago, and to Penn Epigenetics and Penn Genetics!

In the constant quest to understand disease, Penn Medicine has a huge advantage: the Penn Medicine BioBank, a huge repository of DNA from a diverse population. Check out the Tom Avril story inquirer.com/health/penn-me…

So excited to share our first paper from the lab! Brandon Bastien found that alpha and gamma neurexins are BOTH needed for a foraging behavior in C. elegans!! Check out the open access paper for more info!! rdcu.be/dswhD

Excited to announce the Penn Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genetics! We seek to empower and nurture talented early-stage researchers to pursue cutting-edge research in our department. Learn more here, due Jan. 15. med.upenn.edu/apps/my/bpp_po…
