I'm excited to share that our paper is now published in Cancer Research! Using systems biology approaches, we unveiled SYK as a targetable vulnerability in NF1 loss-of-function melanoma.

Checkout our lab's most recent research article published in Cancer Research: product of hard work by talented PhD student Cara Abecunas @abechoochoo, Virginia BME U-M BME, who discovered sensitivity to SYK kinase inhibition (as a potential therapeutic target) in NF1-mutant #melanomas.



Had a blast teaching students to induce condensates with photosensitive chemical probes in the CSHL Single Cell Analysis course, in collaboration with Chenoweth Lab and thanks to the hard work from our TAs Rongwei Zhao and Changfeng Deng.



This has been an exciting and busy week for our lab Virginia BME as we're participating and presenting research at three conferences: @icsb2023 (Yoni Cara Abecunas, PhD 🇺🇦 Luisa Quesada), Biomedical Engineering Society (Henry Gao), and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cell State Conversions Meeting (Magda Bujnowska, Kim Nguyen).
