Cases are going up. We need your help. @bsinger007, who cares for critically ill #COVID19 patients Northwestern Medicine says, "the best way to protect yourself, family and community is to get vaccinated." Find a location for a free #COVIDvaccine: bit.ly/3ig7ZbI.

Excited to share our preprint, in which we identified a new gene, and reported its function in human small cell lung cancer (SCLC). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to share our new studies on how BAP1 complex is stabilized in cancer cells. Thank you Adam Spangler @NIGMS for your support! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Very excited to share our new studies on how arginine methylation controls the associate between BAP1 complex and MLL3 COMPASS in human cancer. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our preprint submitted to BioRxiv early this year was finally published by Science Advances! Here, we reported the identification and characterization of a new gene POU2AF2 in human small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Thank you Adam Spangler, @NIGMS for your support! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Research led by Lu Wang_Northwestern U Lurie Cancer Center, published in Science Advances, has identified a new coactivator of POU2F3 and sheds light on the therapeutic potential of targeting POU2AF2/POU2F3 heterodimer in #SCLC. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine Zibo Zhao #LCSM

Congratulations!

Congratulations 🎉

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered that inhibiting a chromatin remodeling complex associated with a particular gene in small-cell #LungCancer cells may decrease cancer cell differentiation and tumor growth, per Nature Communications. spr.ly/6016wcdnI

Very proud of the research by my colleague Dr. Zibo Zhao Zibo Zhao that identified a druggable vulnerability in the de novo nucleotide synthesis pathway in cancers as the result of MLL4-KMT2D/COMPASS mutations. This finding is now FDA approved and in clinical studies
