A developmental biliary lineage program cooperates with Wnt activation to promote cell proliferation in hepatoblastoma - Nature Communications
Epigenetic causes of intra-tumoural heterogeneity are crucial in paediatric cancers with low mutation rates, such as hepatoblastoma. Here, the authors characterise transcriptional heterogeneity in hep...

Happy to be here & share our work on hepatoblastoma - using transcriptomics and patient-derived tumoroids to identify embryonic biliary transcription factor SOX4 as a modifier of Wnt activation & proliferation - published today in #NatComms @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
My lab is looking for a postdoc to take the lead in our efforts to understand how hepatobiliary lineage programs and growth signals in the developing liver promote tumorigenesis. Please share and reach out if interested - cincinnatichildrens.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/careersatcin...
Postdoctoral Research Fellow Oncology
There is an immediate opening for a motivated postdoctoral research fellow in oncology research. The Wu Lab in the Division of Oncology seeks to understand how tumors initiate and grow during embryoni...

This is a brilliant piece, with much to tell us about society, science, the shifting meaning of race, and so much more--well worth a read 🧪

My graduate advisor was one of the second round of Pioneers in 2005, around when I was deciding to join her lab - interesting back story I didn’t know.
PIONEERS
When I assumed the position as Director of NIGMS in 2003, Dr. Zerhouni's project for stimulating activities across NIH, The NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, was under active development. The Roadmap included a range of different funding opportunities.
