🥳NEW EPISODE OUT TODAY!🥳 This week we discuss mitochondrial DNA and its importance in aging with @AmyVandiver2, as well as a quick new method to sequence mtDNA. We also learn more about the MD PhD group leader route. Links below. #SciComm #preprints

Fun day at the Melanoma Research Foundation Miles for Melanoma 5k with UCLA Dermatology and Teitell Lab. Great race for a great cause!

New year celebration with my student and technician. It’s so wonderful to get to train these brilliant female scientists!

What drives cell type-specific expression differences in the cortex of Alzheimer’s patients? We used single-nucleus multiomics(ATAC+RNA) to link DEGs to candidate CREs and identify TFs that could contribute to altered regulation.🧵 cell.com/cell-genomics/… #singlecell #Alzheimers

Amberly Sanden presenting some of our work on mtDNA mutation heroplasmy in iPSC at the UCLA Broad Stem Cell symposium. Great job Amberly!

Great time at #AGBT sharing our nanopore sequencing method and catching up with Winston Timp!

Great catching up with Winston Timp and Amy Vandiver at #AGBT23!

Join us in welcoming April W. Armstrong, MD, MPH, who has been appointed chief of the division of dermatology in the Department of Medicine at UCLA Health. Learn more about Dr. Armstrong and her role at bit.ly/3N9VDl2.

Jasmine Gasilla presenting her work to evaluate amplification bias in mtDNA sequencing at the UCLA Mitochondria Symposium. Great job!
