After a contact-everyone-ever-from-the-lab-for-the-Twitter-password hiatus, Lam Lab / Wan Lam Lab is back! The first comeback post has to be of us celebrating Wan('s birthday)! 🥳 Vanessa G. P. Souza, Nikita Telkar, PhD + all non-Twitter lab members

More celebrations! 🌟 Aisling Forder who joined us a Directed Studies graduate student (and now future Lam Lab member, yay) successfully defended her Master's thesis yesterday!

Lab plushies have new accessories! 🕶️ (Mx. Pumpkin giving the *bombastic* side-eye 👀)

Thanks so much for the concise, spot-on, argument! Grants pay grad students and postdocs. These passionate people find cures for disease and make discoveries that drive the future economy. So why, at 22-35 years old, are they paid below the poverty line. PLEASE increase funding!

Check out this article I wrote on a powerful new algorithm that simultaneously optimizes both RNA codon usage and stability- great tool for designing new RNA constructs!

Aaand I’m here on *figurative* hallowed grounds #ESHG2023 European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG)

Well, the highlight of my PhD career was everything I could have asked for 🙌🏽 #ESHG2023 European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) eshg_young

Our fantastic University of British Columbia Visiting International Research Student Vanessa G. P. Souza presenting at the SNO ASCO #SNOASCO23 on her work dissecting the immune microenvironment of brain metastasis 🧠 from lung adenocarcinoma 🫁

I’m delighted to share the main publication of my Ph.D. in #Cancers #MDPI! I’ve spent the last three years exploring the development of brain metastasis from primary lung cancer. mdpi.com/2072-6694/15/1…

Halloween decorating 🎃

I am excited to be attending the Canadian Cancer Research Conference (CCRC) 2023! 🇨🇦🔬 #CCRC2023 #CancerResearch Wan Lam Lab

Michelle and Vanessa G. P. Souza highlighting understudied factors in lung cancer with a great tag-team talk at BC Cancer Research Summit 2023 🫁

The long non-coding RNA in the aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A pathway, NRAD1, regulates miRNA biogenesis in triple-negative breast cancer #PathResDay2024 Dalhousie Pathology Lam Lab

I’m excited to share my latest publication! We explored the role of long non-coding RNAs in lung adenocarcinoma, uncovering their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. I’m grateful for the support from my team at Wan Lam Lab and BC Cancer mdpi.com/2072-6694/17/6…
