Mai Takahashi of Sohail Tavazoie's lab focuses on investigating colorectal cancer metastasis and the suppressive mechanisms of the anti-tumor immune response, with the goal of developing new therapeutic strategies. #AANHPIHeritageMonth

Researchers Rockefeller University and MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology did a double take on chromosome ends. With each round of replication, some DNA gets lost. Telomerase counteracts shortening at the leading strand, but the same phenomenon occurs at the lagging strand.

The advent of AlphaFold3 could be an unprecedented boon for drug development. Computational biologist JK Lyu discusses the pros and cons of the tech, and his work analyzing the algorithm, published in Science Magazine today. rockefeller.edu/news/35839-ai-…

A study from Vaziri Lab and colleagues at UCLA finds that repetitive practice is not only helpful in improving skills but also leads to profound changes in the brain’s memory pathways. nature.com/articles/s4158…

congrats Naama Aviram for Breakout Prize! Amazing recognition!

Wei Zhou (Wei Zhou) is a staff scientist in Junyue's lab. She studies how a cell population maintains homeostasis, and how it is disrupted in aging and aging-related diseases, through profiling + perturbing cell dynamics at single-cell resolution. #AANHPIHeritageMonth

I met this stunning Phidippus audax jumping spider on the Rockefeller University River Campus during lunch today. “Audax” means “audacious”, and for good reason. Here you see this bold little fellow repeatedly attempting to jump on my phone. And look at those iridescent chelicerae! 🤩

Researchers in the Rice Lab have uncovered never-before-seen mechanisms that may lead to new therapeutic approaches for the hepatitis B virus. #RockefellerScience
