Victor Ambros and Daniel Cifuentes have made clear the importance of research in model organisms, like C.elegans 🪱 or zebrafish 🐟, to understand human disease 👏👏

Why the octopus? Some of you asked this during the conference. Here’s the story: The null Arabidopsis ago1 mutant looks like a little squid. That’s why in 1998, Bohmert et al. named the gene after Argonauta argo, the shell octopus on Laura’s thesis cover. doi.org/10.1093/emboj/…

Victor R. Ambros, PhD, UMass Chan Medical School's Silverman Chair in Natural Sciences and professor of molecular medicine, has won a Nobel Prize. Media: Email [email protected] for news conference info and interview requests. #NobelPrize #BreakingNews #AdvancingTogether

So well deserved! I’m so proud that I had the chance to work with and learn from Victor!

Congratulations to the brilliant funny and kind Rosalind (Candy) Lee 🎊🎉🥳🥳🥳the first author of the 1993 paper !

When you win a The Nobel Prize, you have to take a selfie or two. Congrats again to Victor R. Ambros, PhD, of UMass Chan Medical School and Gary B. Ruvkun, PhD, of MassGeneral News and Harvard Medical School, winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of microRNA. #NobelPrize

This is from my phone.

Congratulations to Victor Ambros on winning the 2024 #NobelPrize in Medicine for his groundbreaking co-discovery of #microRNA shared with Gary Ruvkun! His reflections on the AGO conference during Monday's press conference (min 36-42) youtu.be/OwgyQsugic8

#FridayFun we hosted Wachusett Regional High School students and parents to tour our Cryo-EM facility and several of our labs 😍 we had so much fun, and can’t wait to do it again!!!

The UMass Chan Medical School community came together Wednesday to honor The Nobel Prize recipient Victor R. Ambros, PhD, and his wife, senior scientist Rosalind “Candy” Lee: direc.to/mpmu Lee is the first author on a 1993 paper cited by the Nobel Committee. #NobelPrize #UMass #Worcester

I’m delighted to share that I will be starting my lab University of Miami in Spring 2025! We will study cellular and developmental biology in non-bilaterian animals – cnidarians, ctenophores, placozoans, and sponges – to explore early animal evolution.

The latest Stem Cell Podcast episode features Dr. Mansi Srivastava (Srivastava Lab) from Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology and Museum of Comparative Zoology! She talks about her lab's work establishing the three-banded panther worm as a model system. 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/4g70Sxm

Hofstenia miamia is an emerging model species for regeneration and embryology. We present this in-depth identification and developmental profiling of Hofstenia microRNAs. ⁦Srivastava Lab⁩ ⁦Isana Veksler-Lublinsky⁩ #microRNA #Hofstenia biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks BioRender The PDB builder function is really helpful 💗

Today we introduce a new drug candidate for prion disease: a PrP-lowering divalent siRNA. A 4-year collaboration with RNA Therapeutics Institute enabled by NINDSfunding IGNITE & URGenT mechanisms. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Our hope is to advance this to the clinic, wish us luck!
