PhD in Biological Sciences from City of Hope. RNA splicing, circular RNA, CRISPR Cas13, base and prime editing, and leukemogenesis. Thoughts are my own.
The lengths authors have to go through to publish these days…
But what did they publish since?

And that concludes my time @cityofhope.bsky.social! Many gratitude to IMGS and to my advisors Lili Wang @wanglabcityofhope.bsky.social and RJ Lin for their years of guidance and support! I’m off now to my adventure but what I learned here will stay with me forever!

At this year’s #RNA25, I will be presenting our work on identifying co-factors important for SF3B1 mutation-driven backsplicing!

And that’s a wrap for #ASH24. It has been a wonderful experience, meeting with old and new colleagues, presenting my first ASH oral presentation, receiving a distinguished award courtesy of @ash-hematology.bsky.social, and seeing and learning all of the exciting science.

Leave it to the @oawlab.bsky.social to do something out of the box. Splicing factor mutation-associated neoantigens is an exciting field. #ASH24

Big thanks to @ash-hematology.bsky.social for giving me the opportunity to present our work at #ASH24.

Leave it to Elizabeth Bonner @ebonner.bsky.social to slay her talk at #ASH24. Amazing talk!

Happening today! I will be giving a talk on how SF3B1 mutation promotes loss of Y chromosome at #ASH24

Another year, another ASH. Definitely more colorful than the last.
