We are on the cover! I’d like to thank Dr. Philipp Oberdoerffer for taking me in as an intern three years ago when I barely had any experience and the mentoring and support of Dr. Robin Sebastian Robin Sebastian and the TJHSST Mentorship Program. (1/3) [Cover by Robin and Anoop Jose.]

Our work is on the cover page!! x.com/MolecularCell/…

Congrats and thanks to Robin Sebastian and his cousin Anoop Jose for getting us on the cover! Family business rules. Wishing Cell Press would have sent us at least on free copy...

Why WRN helicase is essential in microsatellite unstable cancers. Check out our paper online at nature: rdcu.be/b7UPj

A great loss indeed.

Announcing lab (re)opening - more bland than grand in these pandemic times - Johns Hopkins University, Department of Rad/Onc & Molecular Radiation Sciences - coming October 1st! Check us out at bit.ly/3kpUl5I for more info - and come visit when safe!

(1/n) Let's talk about the silent killer in #academia – mental health Disclaimer: long thread Also, academic survey data ahead.

Thanks to altmeyerlab and the other editors for organizing an insightful Frontiers - Genetics research topic on DNA repair pathway choice bit.ly/30Rrq4L. And kudos to Robin Sebastian for spearheading our foray into the third dimension - bit.ly/3Fl49H7

Ever wonder how Transcription Factors work as a team? Thrilled to share our latest work on TF cooperativity now online Molecular Cell “Stripe” TFs provide accessibility to regulatory DNA in mammalian genomes cell.com/molecular-cell… What are stripe TFs, you ask? 🧵👇 1/13

We are looking for a postdoc to join us Johns Hopkins Medicine in beautiful (yes!) Baltimore, MD. Help us investigate the role of RNA/DNA secondary structures in DNA repair. Several CRISPR screen hits are waiting for follow-up analysis. Please RT! go.nature.com/3QQy0zc

Excited to share that I've been awarded a K99/R00 from NHGRI NIH to study gene expression and genome architecture. Grateful to my mentors, colleagues and friends. To trainees, especially international postdocs w limited options and time: DM me, I will do my best to help you!

Thrilled to share our latest work in nature! We show how cancer cells navigate DNA replication despite DNA damage, revealing new insights into genome stability. Huge thanks to my incredible collaborators! Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thank you Eric Sun for the wonderful summary. It was a pleasure working with you!
