What a surreal day. So grateful for all the support and positive feedback from Sohail Tavazoie , the lab, @TriIMDPhD program and my friends and family! Couldn’t have done this without you all!
I'm so proud of Kotaro Fujii and all the co-authors including Olena Zhulyn and Craig Kerr for delineating an interesting function of eIF3 in tissue patterning. Thanks @jhdcate & Amy Lee for inspiring for us and the Giraldez Lab for the thoughtful preview authors.elsevier.com/a/1e2U45Sx5gmJ…
A new study from Sohail Tavazoie's lab in Nature Cell Biology identifies a tumor-suppressive tRNA synthetase. The findings shed light on the role of translational control in cancer development. nature.com/articles/s4155…
A study led by Sohail Tavazoie & Hani Goodarzi shows that leucyl-tRNA synthetase suppresses breast cancer development via upregulating translation of growth-inhibitory genes. PDF: rdcu.be/cI2qE nature.com/articles/s4155…
The amazing @TriIMDPhD student Lisa Earnest-Noble's paper is out showing that two so called 'synonymous' isoleucyl tRNAs opposingly regulate breast cancer & metastasis by driving distinct gene regulatory programs. Rockefeller University also thx to Hani Goodarzi nature.com/articles/s4301…
Eight years flew by! So proud to have graduated from Weill Cornell Medicine alongside these incredible classmates. Forever grateful to all of my mentors Sohail Tavazoie and many more @TriIMDPhD, and Rockefeller University. Cannot wait for this next chapter as a pediatrician-scientist!
