Our study on sex differences in Xp11 translocation renal cell carcinoma is out Cell! We ascribe a genetic basis to the female bias in tRCC, which is driven by a translocation of the TFE3 gene on the X chromosome. w Zhang lab @danafarbernews bit.ly/4dtpNtP 🧵1/

Our own Dana-Farber Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology super star physician-scientist Srinivas Viswanathan and team committed to unlock the mysteries behind this rare #kidneycancer subtype : Translocation Renal Cell Carcinoma Dana-Farber Dana-Farber News OncoAlert His paper is in Cell !

We’re just one of the many examples that science cannot excel when done in solitude! Extremely grateful to be a member of such a dynamic group and proud to be a mentee of Srinivas Viswanathan. I keep learning every day!

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/

Thank you Cancer Discovery for highlighting our work on #ResearchWatch!

Our paper on how X chromosome alterations drive sex differences in translocation renal cell carcinoma is now out in print Cell! Link to explainer thread if you missed it 👉: x.com/srviswanathan/…

Today's The Nobel Prize to Ambros and Ruvkun an impt reminder of how much of our knowledge about human health and disease stems from foundational basic science & discoveries in model organisms - even when arc to translation may be very long.

Small and micro but mighty RNA!

What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N

Throughout my career, I had heard many people say computation is just a tool with no impactful biology. Well, this year’s Nobel theme seems to resonate around big predictive biology from big data! :)

🚨 New study! 🚨Excited to share our research on #translocationRCC #tRCC published in Nature Metabolism, in collaboration with @lironbarpeled. We reveal how the TFE3 fusion drives a key oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) metabolic program in this kidney cancer. 1/ Dana-Farber News
