Alex in town! It was nice to catch up with Dr Alex Chavez Alejandro (Alex) Chavez UC San Diego Health and learn about his newest research in high-throughput protein engineering and gene editing applications last week in our #PharmSci seminar series UBuffalo #SPPS.

See superstar xucong The Leong Lab filming the video on preparing vascular organoid samples for our upcoming JoVE paper!

A-P-T-A-M-E-R!! It was really a pleasure to have Dr Suzie Pun Suzie Pun UW Bioengineering visiting us UBuffalo #SPPS last Thursday as our #PharmSci seminar speaker. As a big fan of Dr Pun's research, super excited that we were able to make this happen! 😍

nsgen in SLC! It was nice seeing friends at American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists #PharmSci360 last week, and Gigi did an awesome job presenting her poster.

Another lab birthday party🎂🎂🎂Happy Birthday Zoey!

Nice to catch up with Ding Tang at Penn this week. Has been a long time since we both left from lab. Glad everything is going ok :)

Glad to have this special opportunity last week in our UBuffalo #PharmSci seminar series to learn from Siyu He on AI approaches to characterize the cell state dynamics and interactions from single-cell and spatial omics data. Also glad to see Rachel Mintz on Zoom too!

Our end-of-semester celebration! Super glad that lab is expanding and getting more awesome people 😍😍

We had a special topic in lab meeting yesterday! Students who went back home for winter break shared their fun photos. Glad this has became part of lab tradition. People share their experience & interesting photos from their conference or vacation trips.✈️✈️

Thrilled to introduce #CORAL🪸—a deep probabilistic graphical model that integrates spatial multiomics data! 🔹Resolves spatial resolution discrepancies across modalities 🔹Deconvolutes low-res data to achieve single-cell granularity 🔹Enables parallel integrative analysis 1/🪸

Our first external speaker for spring #PharmSci seminar series! It was our pleasure that we could have Dr Christine Xu from Sanofi to come visit UBuffalo #SPPS and exciting to see how modeling could guide the clinical development of antibody therapeutics!

Birthday party for our forever-18year-old Soobin! Glad that I can continue this The Leong Lab tradition in my own lab. Thanks Chai Smruthi Suryaprakash for starting this in lab!

It was wonderful to learn cutting edge mass spec technologies on multi-/single cell- omics applications from Dr Lingjun Li Lingjun Li Research Group UW–Madison School of Pharmacy in our #PharmSci seminar series. Thank you Lingjun Li for visiting UBuffalo #SPPS on a snowy day!

My lab at UT Dallas is hiring postdocs and research assistants! If you're interested in the broad field of chemical biology, particularly in #induced_proximity and #autophagy, check out our open positions: [PD] jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/28553; [RA] jobs.utdallas.edu/postings/28785.

It is our pleasure that we could get this opportunity to have Dr Gang Bao Rice University Bioengineering with us on Thursday and to learn about his exciting research on addressing Cas9's off-targeting and HDR efficiency during our UBuffalo #PharmSci seminar!

It was awesome to get the opportunity to catch up with Dr Hsian-Rong Tseng UCLA and to learn their newest liquid biopsy technologies during our UBuffalo #PharmSci seminar last week!

Thanks Justin Hong (@justjhong.bsky.social) for the invitation! Looking forward to the discussion.

Awesome to see our own Sam presenting her CRISPR delivery project at the UBuffalo Celebration of Academic Excellence event yesterday!😍

Awesome that we could have this back-to-back opportunity to invite two drug delivery pioneers Dr Lisa Rohan and Dr Song Li Pitt Pharmacy School to come share their recent research in HIV prevention and cancer nanomedicine in our UBuffalo #PharmSci seminar series!
