Congratulations @seppai99.bsky.social for defending her thesis last week!!! Such an honor having her in the lab and excited about the next steps in her career!!!

The proposed budget slashes NIH by ~40%, devastating medical research, clinical trials, treatment breakthroughs—life-saving work. Thousands of lives at risk for tax cuts for the rich? NO THANKS. Tell your senators to oppose the cuts HERE: zurl.co/qiKdX zurl.co/RCR0y #CutsCostLives

Call your legislators to stop slashing the budget of federal funded research in the “Big Beautiful Bill”. Find numbers @5calls.org

Congratulations Isabelle for winning the Future of Science Fund at the Keystone!! We are very honored to have such a fantastic student in the lab!!!

Wrapping up an insightful conference on DNA Replication Gaps, Cancer, and Disease! 🎉 Congrats to our Future of Science Fund winners, Larissa Milano and @seppai99.bsky.social! Your achievements inspire us. 🌟 #KSDNARep25 @cantorlab.bsky.social @albertociccia.bsky.social @labvincenzo.bsky.social

Happy to share our DNA Repair special issue on the replication stress response curated with @vindignilab.bsky.social. www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu...

An interesting collaboration with the @vindignilab.bsky.social on the mechanism of resection at gaps. Spoiler alert: the MRE11 complex acts very differently at gaps vs. at DNA breaks genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl...

Check out our new paper led by @seppai99.bsky.social from the Vindigni Lab in collaboration with @cejkalab.bsky.social delving into the role of nucleases resecting ssDNA gaps generated by PARPi. You can read more here: genesdev.cshlp.org/content/earl...

Exciting seminar series from Genome integrity italian Network (GiiN), chaired by myself and Raffaella Di Micco! Short talks (2x30’), at convenient time for EU/USA attendees. Big shots and raising stars in an expanding field. See flyers + link to receive email alerts. Please repost to your network!👇

this is breaking through keep up the full court press * patients harmed right now * hurts our economy right now * destroys our STEM infrastructure * gift to global competitors and adversaries * dirty tricks by bureaucrats who failed HS chemistry twice

a great way of framing the issue — the bureaucrats are scheming to wreck science they can’t criticize or understand👇🏽 “This really feels like an evil way of using bureaucracy against the process of science, to the contrary of what they say they are doing — streamlining bureaucracy,” Cooper said.

Federal Register Blackout Blocks NIH Funding www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo... The White House found a loophole around the judge’s orders to lift the freeze that will cripple research and scientific discovery for years.

Very important to get this word out!

The Vindigni, Krais and @vermalab-washu.bsky.social Labsgiving 2024 featured a full turkey, many laughs and lots of multi-cultural food! 🦃

Finally got on the trend and moved to bluer skies! Though our lab photo got the memo long ago 🧬
