Check out our new review paper in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social
We summarized recent advances in understanding the complex interplay between DNA damage response and metabolism, focusing on how this crosstalk affects cancer therapy resistance.

About 10 minutes after your first chalk talk with comments like:
I don’t see how your work is going to reshape the field. Of course, I don’t know either. 😂😂

In my lab, we leverage CRISPR-based screens to study genetic determinants of oxidative stress in cancer cells. We aim to decode the dialogue between genomic instability and metabolism in cancer.

This picture was taken in the summer of 2023.

Congratulations Haojian Li on your Ph.D. Defense! Thanks to the NIH and The University of Texas at Austin.

Haojian was the first graduate student to join my lab. He is uniquely gifted, and I have no doubt he is off to a brilliant career.
This is undeniably the most enjoyable part of my job!
