We wrapped the @cdi-einstein.bsky.social Retreat with four impressive projects from our workshop by Unai Heras Manterola, Lindsay Lafave, Maria Sosa, and Kamini Singh—covered dormancy & bioengineering, neoantigens, transcriptional heterogeneity & lung cancer. Wow! Thanks to all who participated!

Congratulations to Dr. Sosa @soledadsosalab.bsky.social, one of CDI’s inaugural recruits, on this remarkable recognition by @susangkomen.bsky.social!

This well-earned honor exemplifies and strengthens the transformative research vision at @cdi-einstein.bsky.social & @einsteinmededu.bsky.social
@susangkomen.bsky.social It is a profound honor to accept the Susan G. Komen Next Generation Researcher Award. Thanks for making me feel part of
this community and our shared fight against cancer. Thanks to my lab members, my family and my husband for making this possible. @cdi-einstein.bsky.social

Congrats to Shoichiro Takeishi, @steidluli.bsky.social @gritsmanlab.bsky.social and co-authors on this fascinating discovery! @cdi-einstein.bsky.social @einsteincellbio.bsky.social
New findings by CDI members @steidluli.bsky.social @gritsmanlab.bsky.social et al.,reveal how HSC numbers are controlled by both systemic & local (niche) mechanisms, primarily regulated by thrombopoietin, even with increased niche capacity. Congrats to all! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Haematopoietic stem cell number is not solely defined by niche availability - Nature
Haematopoietic stem cell numbers are restricted at both systemic and local levels.
