A fun day hanging with Tom Romer @chopshopstore.bsky.social, designer extraordinaire!

Congratulations to my labmates @junzhong.bsky.social and Aidan for their new publication on non-coding somatic mutations in PDAC! I’m honored to have been a part of the work & @amundadottir.bsky.social team.

So excited that our manuscript is now online! Led by the super talented @junzhong.bsky.social & Aidan O'Brien in my lab with lots of help from Minal Patel @kconnelly92.bsky.social Jason Hoskins @efsunarda.bsky.social @struangrant.bsky.social and others. Very grateful to our team and collaborators!!

Always one of the best moments in research and very pound to be in the @amundadottir.bsky.social team!

Congratulations to the @amundadottir.bsky.social team for their #Gut paper reporting a large-scale multiomic analysis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Delighted to contribute along with @adwellspenn.bsky.social. @chopresearch.bsky.social @penngenetics.bsky.social gut.bmj.com/content/earl...

Our latest paper, just out in #GenomeBiology: "GWAS-informed data integration and non-coding CRISPRi screen illuminate genetic etiology of bone mineral density". @chopresearch.bsky.social @penngenetics.bsky.social genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

My lab is seeking to co-hire a postdoctoral fellow with the @shaonsengupta.bsky.social team. See details below! I'll be #ASHG2025, so open to discuss further there if interest. careers.chop.edu/us/en/job/10...

To say that "the data show these vaccines fail" in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable. For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears.

Atul Butte died yesterday. The world lost a giant. A big bear of a man. With a huge smile. With love for everyone. With energy that could power a room. I loved everything about Atul. I loved how he was always happy. I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

Wow!! Big thanks for the very lovely preview!! 🫶🫶🫶 TOO MANY analyses -> very DIFFERENT feedback on (several of) our submissions - some thought it was too lengthy, others considered the design creative, rigorous. Perhaps no need to do standard analyses if the data/question itself is not standard...

Go Spurs! Great to see them win a trophy after all the years of drought. I’m sure the press room will be busier than when I was there as a tourist 🤣

No better way to celebrate 10 years(!!) since joining the Grant lab than to celebrate at my PhD graduation! @struangrant.bsky.social I am so grateful for all the years of mentorship, and I’m so excited to continue collaborating with you and the rest of our colleagues at Penn/CHOP for years to come!

In a landmark scientific feat published in NEJM, a CHOP & Penn Medicine team treated the first patient with personalized #genetherapy, designed uniquely for newborn KJ, who was diagnosed with a rare #ureacycledisorder at birth. Learn more: http://ms.spr.ly/63327Sw92F
