🚨 BREAKING: What do fish fins 🐟 and your hands 👐 have in common? Actually, a lot. And richard white at the Sloan Kettering Institute is using that similarity to understand more about #melanoma with new research out today in nature. bit.ly/3iRcXuM

Cell position matters in tumour development go.nature.com/3IQUERe

A longstanding question in cancer: why do tumors only form in certain locations in the body? In our new @nature paper (nature.com/articles/s4158…), we define anatomic position of the cell as a mechanism for this.

Below we discuss new insights into the potential role of chromatin as metabolite reservoir through histone modifications, possibly 'the elephant in the room' we need to learn to see: authors.elsevier.com/a/1euSS3S6GfIx…

Great return to Society For Melanoma Research with many of my Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center lab members. Check out posters from @mrndhntr Richard Huang Sarah Perlee Shruthy Suresh (Aggarwal) Yilun Ma Eleanor Johns Joshua Weiss, MD, PhD. Spatial mechanics, anatomy, epigenetics, TME, lipids, metastasis in #zebrafish

Elated to share that my postdoc work in richard white is now online. Here we screened a human #melanoma transcriptional signature predictive of #metastasis in zebrafish 🐠 using #TEAZ & identified the #cholesterol transporter GRAMD1B as a novel metastasis suppressor in melanoma

And finally, congrats to Richard Huang for his Society For Melanoma Research Travel Award to Edinburgh. Looking forward to talking about his exciting work at the interface of epigenetics and metabolism in the future!
