Congrats to our dear friend and collaborator Dr. Dipanjan Chowdhury, the first incumbent of the Svanberg Family Chair at Dana-Farber!

The GRS/GRC DNA Damage, Mutation and Cancer conference was an amazing opportunity be part of all the exciting research happening in our community. Very grateful I could present my work at the GRS! Thank you to the organizers Shrabasti Roychoudhury, Lindsey Jackson Pale JStarkLab, Zha Lab!

It’s a wrap! GRS/GRC DNA damage 2024 🙌🏻 It was an honor to organize the GRS with Lindsey Jackson Pale. This was an emotional roller coaster, my first conference after being a mother , Introduced my 2.5 month old daughter to my science community 🥹 Grateful for all the support 🙏🏽

We are very happy and proud to announce that Aleem Syed won the prestigious Claudia Adams Barr Award in Innovative Basic Cancer Research Dana-Farber. We are super excited to see what the future holds for you!

📣 To all the Genome instability enthusiasts, application is open for the next cool science jam session for the TRAINEES: Gordon Research Seminar: DNA Damage, Mutation and Cancer,2024. Together with Lindsey Jackson Pale as chairs we are planning an exciting program ⬇️

I survived! It was an truly exhilarating, nerve racking experience to present my work in the Mecca of DNA replication 🧬 Feeling honored to get feedback from the replication-enthusiasts all of over the world. Thank you for this opportunity. #cshldnarep Chowdhury Lab

Thank you Research Square for publishing a video of our biomarker discovery study showing that specific circulating microRNAs can be used to identify BRCA1/2 mutations in patients of high risk of cancer: m.youtube.com/watch?v=syNxas…

Preliminary program posted and registration open for 2024 GRC DNA Damage, Mutation and Cancer Conference. Several slots for Abstract talks!! With Vice-Chair ⁦Zha Lab⁩ & GRS with ⁦Shrabasti Roychoudhury⁩ ⁦Lindsey Jackson Pale⁩ grc.org/dna-damage-mut…

Researchers from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have found a way to detect an increased cancer risk associated with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations without genetic sequencing, opening the door to more affordable, accessible tests.
