Another Peds ID division research retreat in the books! Great science, laughs, and career advice— thanks to the organizers! @bcmhouston.bsky.social @texaschildrens.bsky.social

Thanks @isehsociety.bsky.social for highlighting our recent paper relating infection history to the emergence of clonal hematopoiesis! Super collab with Elizabeth Platz and the ARIC longitudinal study! @bcmhouston.bsky.social

Thanks Mick for highlighting our paper in press at J Exp Heme! This was an incredible opportunity to use longitudinal data on thousands of people with two sequencing time points 20 years apart to identify epidemiologic drivers of CH incidence. @bcmhouston.bsky.social @isehsociety.bsky.social

Congrats to @bcm-mstp.bsky.social student Sean Hyslop on this honor! @bcmfromthelabs.bsky.social

To my friends who are @keystonesymposia.bsky.social #hematopoiesis and #myeloid meetings— please check out two talks from my group TOMORROW: Ruoqiong Cao on central #trainedimmunity Thursday morning and Arushana Maknojia unravels #microbiome dependent hematopoiesis in the pm! 🔥🔥🔥

Visiting friends in science can be illuminating for the mind and refreshing for the soul. Thank you @ericpietras.bsky.social and Daniel Molosky for a fabulous visit!

Yahoo! I was the only girl in some of my classes in high school and college. Though we’ve come a long way, women are still a minority in science. Excited to see the blossoming careers of many young women in science today!

Want to understand complex intrinsic and extrinsic metabolic regulation of HSCs? Our latest @natcellbio.nature.com review, led by @aysegulerdemm.bsky.social, synthesize insights into cell fate decisions and highlight implications for leukemogenesis. @nickvangastel.bsky.social rdcu.be/e3smG

Happy to share our latest work on the epigenetic basis of trained immunity in hematopoietic stem cells! @bcmhouston.bsky.social @texaschildrens.bsky.social

TODAY at #ASH2025 New Frontiers in Neutrophil Biology. W311 at 4pm. Ostuni, Bonnet, Findlay. See you there!! @welner.bsky.social @leegrimeslab.bsky.social

Caroline Sands @bcm-mstp.bsky.social and I met up at #ASH2025. So fun 😍

What an awesome stem cell session speaker group for #ASH25 Workshop on Myeloid Development @vangalenlab.bsky.social @thekinglab.bsky.social @paralkarlab.bsky.social Sandra Pinho and Allison Yeh (love the photobomb!)

ASH or bust! #ash2025

ASH is coming! Excited to present alongside Vikram Paralkar, Sandra Pinho, Peter Van Galen, and Alison Yeh at the stem cell session of the myeloid workshop on Friday. @ericpietras.bsky.social will be moderating— don’t miss it!

Wow! My student Arushana Maknojia was awarded the Deborah K. Martin Award for best graduate student at BCM! So proud!

Lab Halloween 2025 is in the books— can you guess our theme?

For my lab lead friends, check out this article of best practices from my colleagues and I on the ISEH Junior PI committee on organizing a leading your team. authors.elsevier.com/c/1lxZ~,6sio...

Jak stat jak stat fun to have @mpndoc.bsky.social in town for a seminar! Thanks for inflammatory insights and inspiration to cure patients!

Congrats to Nicole Wang and Jennifer Deger on their beautiful thesis defenses today in the MSTP October double header! So proud of you both! @bcmfromthelabs.bsky.social

Great science, food, and hospitality at #ISEH2025 Kumamoto. Several new collaborations planned!

I am so grateful to be able to spend time with colleagues at #iseh2025. Fantastic science and community.

Central trained immunity is still a nascent field— is there true reprogramming of hematopoietic progenitors to influence innate immunity, or is this selection for lineage biased cells? We explore the nuances in this new review. doi.org/10.7554/eLif... awesome collab with Eva Kaufmann and team!

Less than a month until ISEH @isehsociety.bsky.social annual meeting in Kumamoto! Bringing some new science to share and excited to see friends and try the food!

It’s just a noncompeting renewal, but I’ve never been so happy.

And here it is! Our study in clonal hematopoiesis and Alzheimer’s disease — product of 5 years’ gestation. urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=htt...

We had not one but TWO bottles of bubbly to celebrate paper acceptances in the lab!! Exciting stories forthcoming which I am excited to introduce when they’re online!

This post is almost a week late but huge congratulations to the 14 fabulous students who earned their MD PhD degrees last week @bcmhouston.bsky.social @bcm-mstp.bsky.social So amazing to see you all complete this journey. 😍

Big day for Dr. Brandon Tran yesterday as he became a PhD graduate! Beautiful presentation of rigorous work on conservation of epigenetic marks after infection through myeloid differentiation. 🥳🤩🥳

Congrats @micrornax.bsky.social on this study on let7 in lung injury/repair and thanks for including us as collaborators!

Perfect weather for our “annual” King lab crawfish boil— so fun to see current lab, alums, and lab babies! 😍

Congrats Dan on this cool study!

Yesterday I was humbled to receive the E. Mead Johnson Award from the @socpedresearch.bsky.social Since 1939, the award represents SPR’s commitment to outstanding science- stunned to join the list of trailblazing investigators. What a weekend! @bcmfromthelabs.bsky.social @texaschildrens.bsky.social

Tremendous honor today to receive the WashU alumni achievement award. I am so fortunate to be surrounded by such amazing mentors, teachers, colleagues and friends. @origamidoc.bsky.social @davidperlmutter.bsky.social @geoffuy.bsky.social @bcm-mstp.bsky.social

I think means I became an honorary Challenger?

Great visiting with all the folks at WashU today! So fun to catch up! Forgot to take pics with everyone!

Hey! Check out @drjanexu.bsky.social discussing @cohesinlab.bsky.social’s first preprint on @isehsociety.bsky.social simply blood preprint watch! www.simplyblood.org/2025/04/prep...

Amazing fundamental insights about hematopoiesis from tons and tons of sequencing.

Honored to have Dr. Bonnie Maldonado visiting today as the Feigin distinguished lecturer. Important leadership on RSV prevention.

Look at these details from my visit to St Jude’s— raising the bar on hospitality! Being here at the same time as @keisukeito-lab.bsky.social was so fun!

Incredible hospitality at St. Jude for the Danny Thomas Lecture. Thanks so much to Jian Xu for hosting me and to all the wonderful colleagues who made time for me today. Special surprise to see @keisukeito-lab.bsky.social here at the same time!

Interesting work from my colleague at @texaschildrens.bsky.social

Congrats to @bcm-mstp.bsky.social student @chiraagkapadia.bsky.social for his first author paper out yesterday in Nature!

So great @chiraagkapadia.bsky.social ! Congrats to you and the whole team.

Right so we totally enjoyed a visit yesterday by the wonderful @beaudinlab.bsky.social @bcmhouston.bsky.social fabulous work and had so much fun that we forgot to take a picture!

Great story by @alejofraticelli.bsky.social lab— congrats! www.cell.com/cell-stem-ce...

Baylor College of Medicine MSTP hosted the south regional APSA @a-p-s-a.bsky.social conference on Friday, February 21. Kudos to the student organizers for a great turnout!

It’s King Cake season in the King lab— our longest standing tradition. Congrats to Belinda who got the baby!

The weather was cold today but Bryan was on fire! Congrats to the newest member of the lab on passing your qualifying exam! @bcmhouston.bsky.social @cagt.bsky.social

Tremendous honor to receive this award from @socpedresearch.bsky.social ! The past recipient list is truly amazing with many of my mentors and role models.

Congratulations to Dr. @thekinglab.bsky.social, the 2025 SPR Award in Honor of E. Mead Johnson recipient. This honor recognizes E. Mead Johnson's legacy of research excellence and impact on child health and is the most prestigious award presented by SPR. Read more: ow.ly/R16V50UX6MR
