I am tremendously honored to join this amazing cohort of HHMI Investigators! I am incredibly fortunate to have worked with incredible people in our laboratory and excited for all that we will be able to do in the coming years!

Deeply honored to receive the 2024 Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Trailblazer Prize! Heartfelt thanks to the incredible lab members past and present, generous mentors, fantastic collaborators, inspiring patients/families, and others who made this possible! 🙏 to my nominator, the amazing Aviv Regev!

Must read: "New frameworks for hematopoiesis derived from single-cell genomics" by Ksenia Safina and Peter van Galen! I am biased considering our preprint describing the 'multi-track model' is given some airtime. Thank you 🙏 ashpublications.org/blood/article-…

Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin! We celebrate her work and influence in science. Thanks to her, we have the historic Photo 51, which revealed that DNA has a double-helical structure!

Earlier this week, we welcomed many of the 2024 HHMI Investigators as they visited our headquarters in Chevy Chase, Maryland. We're excited to see where their science leads them in the years to come! Learn more about HHMI's newest Investigators here: hhmi.news/3SpMWVT

Happy to share that I received the EMBO Postdoctoral Fellowship EMBO Fellows to continue my work with Vijay Sankaran to decipher mechanisms underlying B cell leukemia and B cell deficiencies! 🥳

Excited for the upcoming Hemoglobin Switching Meeting in Puerto Rico on Nov 10-14. Late breaking abstracts w/ oral talks being solicited now. We are covering globin, erythropoiesis and hematopoiesis topics. Please join us for this excellent conference. hemoglobinswitchingmeeting.com

There has been confusion over mitochondrial mutation detection, consensus variant calling, and lineage tracing in single cells. Here, we detail how ReDeeM addresses these challenges, improving detection of mtDNA mutations by 10-fold and lineage tracing. Led by Chen Weng and

An important thread on our latest preprint 👇👇. Also highlights the incredible resilience and dedication of a brilliant scientist and an exceptional human being. So proud of you, Chen Weng! 🙏 also to my friend and collaborator, Jonathan Weissman's Lab!

I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected by ASH to receive the 2024 ASH Global Research Award! #ASHAwards So excited to explore new avenues and deeply thankful for the outstanding support from my institution and mentors!

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/

We've started IND-enabling studies on a small molecule corrector for Rho-associated autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (Rho-adRP). I thought it would be fun to spend some time walking through our approach and why we are excited. Long 🧵1/
