Tremendous congratulations to Dr. Taylor Cool on her successful PhD defense! We could not be more proud of her many accomplishments! Taylor Cool

We present to you Dr. Eric Martin! His scientific contributions summed up in a brilliant PhD defense. We are very proud! Eric Martin

Never met a stem cell we didn’t like. But came to rep the hematopoietic stem cell. What a fantastic time at #ISSCR2022 ! Forsberg Lab Eric Martin Atesh Worthington ISSCR

Spread the word please! we are recruiting a director for our CRISPR Core facility at UCSC. recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01334. Please reach out if you have any questions!

Super excited to share our new paper out today in Cell Reports "Mutant KRAS regulates transposable element RNA and innate immunity via KRAB zinc-finger genes" led by my PhD student & NIH F99/K00 Fellow Roman E. Reggiardo UC Santa Cruz Baskin Engineering at UCSC! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

The lab is all here at #ISEH2022 and they are ready to share their incredible work tonight! Check out their posters tonight ISEH! Atesh Worthington 3230; Donna Poscablo 3165; Alessandra Rodriguez y Baena 3168; Stephanie 3268; @brycemanso 3128

We are hiring not 1 but 2 new faculty in the areas of immunology and stem cell biology. Please retweet and spread the word!! Reach out to me if there are any questions recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01374

The much anticipated in-person recruitment for the PBSE Grad Program (since 2020) has finally come.. and the lab takes first prize poster…again! Flashback to 2019! Go team! 🎉 Many thanks to the recruits- we love being your number one! ☝🏾

A dream come true. I am eternally grateful for the fortune of support from loved ones, friends, and mentors along the way.

Excited to be at #ISTH2023 as a first-time attendee! Who’s going with me?!

Had a fanta-sticky platelet of a time at the #ISTH2023 Congress! Forsberg Lab

Platelets are normally produced from HSCs via progressively lineage-restricted, intermediate progenitors including MkPs. We find an aging-induced and direct pathway from HSCs into platelets - by way of functionally enhanced MkPs- that contributes to exacerbated clot formation!

Platelet Pathway More Traveled with Age, Leads to Excessive Clotting Researchers say findings may "profoundly impact the millions of elderly people at risk of experiencing adverse thrombotic events." Learn more: ow.ly/kSYJ50RGlvR

Published in Cell, #BaskinEngineering Prof. Camilla Forsberg & team identified a new group of blood platelet stem cells that emerge as we age - offering potential new targets for medication to treat blood clotting-related diseases: bit.ly/3yguQhH Forsberg Lab

Dr. Donna Poscablo from the Forsberg Lab led this study showing that aging leads to two parallel platelet specification paths from #HSCs and the shortcut platelet pathway is perpetuated by highly expansive #megakaryocyte progenitors. 📍 Cell | bit.ly/3UP7sQ3

Deeply honored to be included in #FacesofCell representing Filipinos, LGBTQ+, and underrepresented individuals for whom I may have the privilege of laying a trace of liberty. You empower me to use scientific research to foster empathy - you belong.
