Congrats to @kdemanelis on her semifinalist Charles J. Epstein trainee award from ASHG and upcoming talk at #ASHG19 on #telomere length across human tissues #GTEx

#Arsenic metabolism is influenced by inherited genetic variation near the AS3MT gene. In this Toxicological Sciences paper, MeytalC shows that one of the causal variants in this region is likely to regulate expression of AS3MT (and BORCS7), in multiple tissue types academic.oup.com/toxsci/toxsci/…

Thank you so much to Toxicological Sciences, Brandon Pierce , Lin Tong, and all coauthors. for their work on this project! So excited to share our results.

Our paper on #telomere length in human tissues was published yesterday, as a part of the final set of papers from GTEx. science.sciencemag.org/content/369/65…

My department UChicago Public Health Sciences is launching a MPH program! Application deadlines in Dec and March. Please retweet and share with potential applicants👇🏽

My group at The University of Chicago is seeking a postdoc! We study the interrelated roles of genetic and environmental factors in cancer and biological aging.

Come check out my poster at #ASHG20 number 2352 on differential DNA methylation between cancerous and benign prostate tissue!

Congratulations to UChicago Public Health Sciences and UChicago MSTP MD/PhD student MeytalC on being awarded a @NIEHS F30 fellowship to study genetics of susceptibility to arsenic!👏👏👏

Congratulations to UChicago Public Health Sciences and UChicago MSTP student MeytalC who successfully defended her dissertation entitled "Genes in Context: Understanding how tissue type, ancestry, and environment influence the effects of genetic variation on human traits"

I had the honor of hooding two of my favorite people last week, MeytalC and Dayana Delgado

Our paper on genetic regulation of DNA methylation in human tissues was published today in Nature Genetics. This work was led jointly by Meritxell Oliva, Lin Chen, and myself using samples and data from GTEx Portal. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New work from MeytalC in PLOS Genetics describing fine-mapping of the AS3MT region in three cohorts to understand genetic effects of #arsenic metabolism efficiency. dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

A big thank you to collaborators from the Strong Heart, HEALS, and New Hampshire Studies: Ana Navas Acien, Shelly Cole, Margaret Rita Karagas, Habib Ahsan, Muhammad Kibriya, and all coauthors. And thanks to @NIEHS, CACHET, Columbia Northern Plains SRP, and all research participants and staff.

Excited to be able to share my work, out now in #PLOSGenetics, focusing on fine-mapping and identifying causal variants and mechanisms for #arsenic metabolism dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

We are so excited to welcome our next group of interns! 🎉🎉🎉 Welcome to UCIMR!
