Another fantastic year at the WashU Medicine Genetics BIDS/CSB/HSG/MGG retreat at Pere Marquette Lodge! Science, style, and lots of fun 🔬✨ #ResearchRetreat #ScienceAndFun

Thrilled to receive the 2024 NARSAD Young Investigator Grant! Our lab is grateful for the support from BBRFoundation and my amazing colleagues WashU Medicine Genetics and WashU Med Taylor Family Department of Neurosurgery. Big shout out to Jose Moron-Concepcion. for his kind advice and collaboration.

Chromatin interactions profiles are useful, but how can we deconvolute cell-type info from the complex tissues? 🎯 Led by Lei Chang , we just released Droplet Hi-C: a faster, cheaper, and high-throughput single-cell Hi-C method using microfluidics: nature.com/articles/s4158…

So excited to welcome Dr. Pfenning Andreas Pfenning to the WashU Genetics Seminar!!! 📣Join us next week for an insightful talk on evolution of gene regulatory codes! 🧬

Thank you so much Dr. Andreas Pfenning Andreas Pfenning for delivering a wonderful talk in our WashU Medicine Genetics seminar series! Very exciting to learn how to leverage comparative genomics to study gene regulation in brain evolution and neuropsychiatric disorders!

Huge congratulations to our very beloved Dr. Lin v0.5!!! 🎉🥳

An amazing holiday dinner with the lab! 😋So glad to see our team grow and thrive. Grateful for every lovely lab members, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! 🥳🎄🎉WashU Med Taylor Family Department of Neurosurgery WashU Medicine Genetics Yellowbelly

Sush a fantastic time visiting The University of Tennessee Health Science Center , meeting wonderful people at the Department of Genetics, Genomics and Informatics, and discussing science with a nice community. Thank you so much for the invitation!

We are proud to announce Bing Ren, PhD, as the new Scientific Director & CEO of the NYGC. Dr. Ren brings his expertise in the fields of genomics & epigenetics to the NYGC & Columbia University, where he will hold a joint appointment. For more on Dr. Ren: bit.ly/3DJXtah

This is such a amazing day to celebrate our 50 years of achievements and look forward to the next 50!

Congrats to Yang Li, PhD, on receiving the Career Development Award from the Rally Foundation for pediatric cancer research. This will support his work studying the changes in gene activity in aggressive pediatric brain tumors. We commend your hard work and dedication!

What a fantastic visit to Cleveland Clinic — reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, and diving into exciting science discussions. Grateful for the opportunity to learn so much about Alzheimer’s disease from true experts! Thank you so much Feixiong Cheng for inviting!
