How do the H3K4 histone methyltransferases MLL3/4 participate in regulating enhancer function in stem cells? Ryan Boileau Robert Blelloch lab @ucsf is sorting out old and new models of epigenetic control of enhancer function Asilomar Chromatin #AsilomarChromatin

I am back after many months - too much to do, too little time. Happy New Year Everybody! We are seeking motivated & wonderful postdocs to join our lab. Exciting projects, generous new NIH funding - we need new blood! See link below for more information: drive.google.com/file/d/1kdpYOO…

Exciting Inhibitory Neurons! Our paper from Pollen lab Alex Pollen Jimmie Ye Nowakowski_Lab UC San Francisco is out today in nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… Also a less technical blog about the findings: medium.com/@matthew.schmi… If you have questions, I'm happy to GABAbout it!

Excited to represent the Robert Blelloch lab together with Ryan Boileau at the Gordon Research Conferences "Chromatin Structure and Function" next week in Barcelona. If you are there I would be glad if you can make it to my talk (5/31) and poster.

Sen. Murphy: “Spare me the bullshit about mental illness. “We don't have any more mental illness than any other country in the world. “You cannot explain this through a prism of mental illness because we don't we're not an outlier on mental illness.”

excited about #ISSCR2022 in SF! come by my poster #524 Wed 7:30pm and hear/chat about some of my work w/ Robert Blelloch and some new work on the horizon for my group. Also in the same session check out exciting work by Bryan Marsh (poster #130, cutting edge #placenta #scRNAseq)

#ISSCR2022 on Friday 3pm hit up Ryan Boileau's poster (#145) to chat #chromatin & #epigenetics with Ryan Boileau, superstar senior grad student in Robert Blelloch lab

#ISSCR2022 Come see Blelloch lab posters at ISSCR tonight Bryan Marsh discloses asymmetry of cell types in the human placenta poster #130 Wednesday 7:30p Carolyn Sangokoya tackles metabolism in regulating cell fate in early development poster #524 Wednesday 7:30p

Thanks to everyone who came out to my poster for great discussions! And get yourself some supportive lab mates like Ryan Boileau! Makes science a lot more fun

New to the #ISSCR2022 program today 5:20pm Robert Blelloch on unexpected roles for TFs and histone mods in pluripotency. Novel and rigorous work from Deniz Gökbuget (denizgoekbuget.bsky.social) (looking for faculty job!) and Ryan Boileau (poster 145 looking for postdoc!). Great work, better colleagues!

Big presence from my grad program at #ISSCR2022. Couldnt even wrangle them all together for a pic. Best Developmental and Stem Cell Program in the world, might be biased though. #ucsf #ISSCR2022 #stemcell #gradschool #phdlife

Always nice to hear your PI present your story, glad Robert Blelloch got the opportunity! So much more to show than time allowed. Poster #145 Friday/tomorrow at 3p. looking forward to discuss hardcoreee enhancer mechanics in ESCs #ISSCR2022

#ISSCR2022 Ryan Boileau’s poster pulls in the crowds. The crowd is asking “where will he post-doc?” ⁦Ryan Boileau⁩

Making the most of breaks between inspiring talks to get a nice Robert Blelloch Lab photo #ISSCR2022

Excited to finally release the bioRxiv of my first ever first author paper! 🚨🥳🥳🚨biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Any enhancer lovers in the feed!?! You know what time it is-- We're going deep! ./tweetorial.sh👇🧵

🚨IT'S OUT!! 🥳🥳 My paper on MLL3/4 and enhancers in ESCs has officially been published Genome Biology !! Great feedback from reviewers and awesome support from editors! Can't thank my mentor Robert Blelloch enough! Celebrations are in order!!!!! genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Interested in one reason why stem cells can rapidly divide AND maintain genome integrity? If you can, please attend my talk this Thursday at #ISSCR2023 in the "Epigenetics and Tissue Biology" session. Looking forward to a great and inspiring meeting, discussions and feedback.

Our new paper on how stem cells coordinate transcription and DNA replication to protect genome integrity is out now in NatureStructMolBiol: nature.com/articles/s4159…. More info ⬇️.
