Preped the first RNA-seq library in Chen lab today! Loading it onto the sequencer. Can't wait to see the results 😀 Fingers crossed!

Learn more about the Chen lab here in the CB&P newsletter in June! - Highlighting Dr. Chun-Kan Chen's interview😉

🎉Excited to learn that we have been awarded the ICTS JIT Core Usage Funding! Thank ICTS @ WashU in STL and the committee for the support. Time to do some more sequencing! 😀

Looking forward to leading the Immersion Group for the first time next week! Can't wait to meet new DBBS students! 🌟

Welcome, Jin Park, our first post-bacc student joining the Chen Lab! 🎉Moving from the West Coast is always not easy, but I am sure you will love St. Louis a lot! Looking forward to exploring the mysteries of circRNAs together😀

🎉Welcome the third member of Chen Lab - Crystal Zheng! Can't wait to work together to reveal the hidden secrets of circRNAs! So glad to see that the team is growing!

Had a great time at the MGG/HAG/CSB/BIDS retreat! Get to meet many great scientists and learn their exciting findings! Had inspiring scientific discussions with many of them!

Had a great time at the MCB retreat! Got to learn cool science from other labs! Had a nice chat with many great scientists and learned many potential collaboration opportunities!

Come and join our work-in-progress seminar and social hosted by Chen Lab! We will have homemade macarons, caramel apples, and much more!

It is coming - 2023 Erlanger-Gasser Lecture! Come join us!

Chen Lab holiday celebration 2023! Amazing food with amazing group!! You make Chen Lab awesome!!! Looking forward to what we will accomplish in 2024

Absolutely thrilled to receive the Siteman Research Program Catalyst Award! A first step and a milestone in our journey into cancer research! Thanks to the selection committee for recognizing our work. Excited about expanding our circRNA research towards cancer therapeutics!

Want to learn more about the exciting discoveries in circRNA? Come to our CBP Seminar Series next Tuesday (Feb 6th)!

Thrilled to be nominated to be featured in the RNA Society Spotlight Series (rnasociety.org/chun-kan-chen-…)! Thanks to Julieta Rivosecchi Julieta Rivosecchi and The RNA Society The RNA Society for this incredible opportunity to share my work and my journey in RNA research!

Want to learn more about circular RNAs and immunity? Come join our CB&P Seminar tomorrow (April 1st) at 1:00 PM!

Glad to be at the GRC RNA conference: Post-transcriptional Gene Regulation. Had great discussion with many talented RNA scientists! Perfect weather for a boat tour as well!
