So sad to see my undergrad lab mentor at Caltech pass. He was such a scientific inspiration, but also the best part was he always supported young scientists 🙏🏽
David Baltimore, Nobel Prize-winning scientist and former Caltech president, dies at 87

Baltimore played a role in virtually every important national debate over the use and potential misuse of the science of genetic engineering.

Legend David Baltimore died yesterday. He understood the way things should work: "the real contribution of MIT is that it doesn't take itself too seriously. It takes ideas seriously, but the people are relatively informal. They are not self-aggrandizing the way academics can be."

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab with @ryandhindsa.bsky.social ! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Led by @sherrynyeo.bsky.social, @erinmayc.bsky.social, and friends, we continue our journey to find viral DNA in our favorite place-- the overlooked and discarded reads in existing data! 1/

Excited to finally share our multi-ancestral genetic analysis of testosterone, SHBG, and hypogonadism in the Million Veteran Program! This was a long process, but forever grateful to the MVP022 team, collaborators, and veterans who made this possible. @tylersbrt.bsky.social @natcomms.nature.com
Discovery of novel ancestry specific genes for androgens and hypogonadism in Million Veteran Program Men - Nature Communications
Here, the authors perform a genome-wide association study to identify 157 significant testosterone genetic variants in male veterans, of which 8 are ancestry-specific. Men with higher testosterone gen...

Bile acid synthesis impedes tumor-specific T cell responses during liver cancer
The metabolic landscape of cancer greatly influences antitumor immunity, yet it remains unclear how organ-specific metabolites in the tumor microenvironment influence immunosurveillance. We found that...

The LA wildfires have really affected the @caltech.edu community (which is very close to my heart). Hundreds of employees, faculty and students have been displaced. Please donate to their emergency fund if you want to help!
