just for the pleasure of it, the fine choreography of epithelial cell migration with a PI3K mutation. This is the complex behavior we have to drug to treat cancer ... Movie from Lucien Hinderling . Switch sound on.

I've submitted my first ever tenure-track job application. Officially, I'm on tenure-track job market. My major interest is membrane protein structure & function. As a first-gen immigrant scientist, even being able to apply is a long way from a working-class family home in India.

I'm incredibly fortunate to be a cancer researcher Université de Sherbrooke and to tackle a challenge that hits so close to home. Thank you Canadian Cancer Society and donors for supporting patients and researchers! Grateful to be part of this journey towards a cure. 💛

Now that we're entering faculty job season, I want to reshare my ✨job search advice doc✨. It compiles all the super helpful advice I received from mentors & includes my own experiences on the market. Best of luck out there, everyone - you got this! 💪 helpimascientist.com/wp-content/upl…

Great job, Ash, Pia Reichl, and Ross Chapman, and congrats on this amazing paper! 😃 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to share our lab's latest research, out today NatureStructMolBiol, which describes how 53BP1 controls DNA Repair in class-switching B cells & BRCA1 mutant cancers. Final article can be found here: nature.com/articles/s4159…; & the following thread walks you through the details

Very exited about my first day as a faculty member at the Department of Radiation Oncology Emory School of Medicine. Look forward to continued and new collaborations with my amazing mentors, colleagues, and scholars Reshma Jagsi Mylin Torres Ilana G and more!

New research, in collab. with Pierre Cordelier at CRCT-Oncopole, highlights the role of Cytidine Deaminase (CDA) in mitochondrial function & metabolism in pancreatic cancer cells disq.us/t/4qfb3pj in Communications Biology It was a pleasure Pierre to work with your team on this project!
