Check out this biology-preserving approach to fixation and tissue processing from Seth Fortmann , welnerlab , and team (bonus: learn what "eutectic" means)...Congrats, Seth!

Ever wondered where to find patients for a CHIP/cardiovascular disease clinical trial? How about in the cardiac cath lab. 🧵medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are excited and grateful to have the support of NIBR Novartis to continue studying human CHIP with friends Alex Bick lab VUMC Department of Medicine

Congratulations to our Vanderbilt Hem / Onc division director, Dr. Jordan Berlin, on being a recipient of the 2022 Dr. Kimryn Rathmell's Award! Read more Insights @ VUMC about his contributions to expand the role of advanced practice providers in NCI clinical trials at bit.ly/3KN2Jul.

One of the biggest surprises in studies of clonal hematopoiesis has been how few mutations are in classical oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Instead, the majority of mutations are in "epigenetic" factors. Why? This is a mystery that has perplexed me for >10 years.

So proud of these three! It has been phenomenal to see each of them develop into true leaders in biomedical research. Well done, and congratulations!

We are excited to share our work published today in Nature Immunology by Michael Rudloff, the whole @PhilipLabVandy team Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and in collaboration with our fantastic computational biology collaborators Doron Betel and his group Weill Cornell Medicine. 1/7 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Outstanding science and collaborators at our The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research retreat! Look for our science coming soon! Ferrell Lab Stanley Lee Rui LU

Enjoying the science enabled by The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research and awesome collaborators! Even remembered to get a lab pic 😎

That time of year already? Don’t like getting older, but I do like cake and hanging out with the Bick lab!

Congratulations to Dr. Ferrell Lab, Assistant Professor of VUMC Department of Medicine, on his R56 from NIDDK: Delineating Drivers of Inflammation and Progression in Clonal Hematopoiesis. Vanderbilt Hem / Onc @VUMCHealth #EFSkudos

Calling all Vanderbilt PSTP/Harrison Society applicants: we will also send out interview invitations on Thursday 10/12 APSA #ERAS2024 #MedTwitter

Agree with Scott, no one better to lead the country's cancer research efforts! Congrats to Kimryn Rathmell !!🤩

🙌Happy to share the first publication of 2024 from #BickLab, exploring the role of CHIP mutation zygosity in predicting clonal hematopoiesis transformation risk to hematologic malignancies published now in Blood Cancer Journal Alex Bick nature.com/articles/s4140…

Thankful to have the support of VA Research for this work. Taking care of Veterans with blood cancer is a great privilege and we hope our research will eventually translate to improvements in therapy for them and all patients!

The best! Congrats to Emily and Matt!! 🔔💒

New manuscript from our labs, collaboration with Alex Bick lab led by Brett Heimlich Pawan Bhat Alyssa Parker checkout the tweetorial 👇!

Excited to share this paper in Blood Advances led by Brett Heimlich, Pawan Bhat & Alyssa Parker with Ferrell Lab that uses mitochondrial lineage tracing techniques pioneered by Peter van Galen Caleb Lareau, Vijay Sankaran to identify transcriptional consequences of #CHIP

Congratulations to Brett Heimlich who received the VUMC Heart/Vascular Rhodes Scholarship Award for his research this morning! Very proud of all he has accomplished in the lab the past three years VUMC Department of Medicine Vanderbilt PSTP/Harrison Society Vanderbilt Genetics Institute
