Congrats to Jessica Christiansen of the Penzes Lab, who was awarded 2nd place in the Basic Science category at Northwestern’s Research Day. Her research on KALRN advances our understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders, including ID, schizophrenia, and autism.

Happening today at 11 AM! #FCVRRI Seminar with Ana Mompeon Campos, PhD 📍 Lurie-Searle Seminar Room

Huiping Liu, MD, PhD (Huiping Liu), and team reveal how tumor–immune cell clusters fuel #BreastCancer metastasis in a pair of new studies published in Nature Communications and Journal of Clinical Investigation. tinyurl.com/4ufa6twt

A Northwestern-led team of scientists found that #paraspeckles in the cell nucleus form differently than thought — insight that could help design future #cancer drugs, per PNASNews. spr.ly/6016Ak3Q8

Congrats to Driskill Graduate Program in Life Sci student Josiah Wong in the Feng Yue lab on winning 3rd place in the Lewis Landsberg Research Day & receiving an F31 grant "The role of SUV39H1 in maintaining heterochromatin architecture & identity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia" Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine Josiah Wong

In a pair of studies, investigators from the lab of Lurie Cancer Center's Huiping Liu, MD, PhD, have uncovered how cellular interactions in the bloodstream may be fueling the spread of #breastcancer. news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2025/09/17/inv… via Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine #CTC #BTSM
