Here, David G. Kirsch @DKirschMDPhD, Pete Hendrickson @pghendrickson & team @UofT & @DukeHealth establish a next-generation mouse model and identify Minnelide as a potential treatment for CIC::DUX4 #sarcoma, a rare and deadly cancer with no treatment options.

Your donation dollars in action! 🙌A #StandUpToCancer-funded #research team unveiled an exciting #clinicaltrial breakthrough that reduces risk of #cancer relapse by 43% – for 2 of the most common types of soft tissue #sarcoma in adults, 2 years after treatment. Learn more: bit.ly/4bH9BEI.

Excited to share our work on chromatin landscape remodeling in cloned embryos! 🐄🐄We started off w/ simple question: how does the somatic epigenome reprogram to prepare for the onset of transcription (EGA)? tinyurl.com/yc4wv76p

(1/5) Our paper on pooled genetic screening of TERT-mutated #glioblastoma is out in @NaturePortfolio @oncogenejournal! We analyzed data from 500 #clinical and ~1300 #preclinical samples. Graphical abstract in the thread!

Physician-scientists are a dying breed going from 4.7% in '80s to ~1.5% today. Multiple factors contribute including flat/declining #NIH funding. Translational research is critical for advancing clinical care.

In SLC for Brad Cairns’ 25th lab anniversary. Was truly a humbling experience to be a part of great science with great scientists. We’ve spanned the gamut from biochemistry of yeast chromatin remodelers, zebrafish epigenome reprogramming, ZGA, and germline stem cells.

Very impressive work! What compensates Dux in mouse ZGA has puzzled me for ~4 years. I generated Obox1/2/5/7 QKO, but failed to see apparent phenotypes. It turns out that Obox4 is the promising one! A big mystery is largely resolved! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thrilled to announce I've started a lab @UTSWNews studying epigenomics of oogenesis & early embryo development! Together, let's find out how to build eggs🥚 and embryos. Thanks to generous funding from @CPRITTexas we are recruiting @ all levels: utswgrowlab.com plz RT

Duke PGY2 @pghendy is our #RadOnc Research Scholar. Why did he choose Duke? In his words, it offered "the most direct path to an independent lab & research-focused academic job in the country." Excited to see his accomplishments in the next few years! #MedEd #MedStudentTwitter

Just published @TheLancet
The largest study of hydroxychloroquine shows a significant increase in death (~35%) and >2-fold increase of serious heart arrhythmias. ~96,000 patients, ~15,000 on HCQ or CQ from 671 hospitals, 6 continents.

The two most common causes of hardship in PhD students are an inability to accept failure and choosing this career path for the prestige, rather than out of any real interest in research.
