We won third place at the molecular and cellular biology department Halloween party!!
Happy Halloween from the @BenhamPyleLab!
Congratulations, @BenhamPyleLab, @BoeynaemsSteven and @HongjieLi5, recipients of a 2024 @NIH Director's New #Innovator Award! @bcmhouston @BCMCancerCenter @bcmgenetics @TCHResearchNews @CPRITTexas commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator/A…
Thrilled to announce that @BlairBenhamPyle has been named an NIH New Innovator! This support from the @NIH_CommonFund is so meaningful and we can’t wait to share the resulting science with you!

First @BenhamPyleLab retreat is in the books! After a day of lab brainstorming we got to enjoy some much deserved relaxation… tie dye lab coats, glass painting, brunch at Lucille’s, and an afternoon at the Houston Museum of Natural Science! @hmns @BCMFromtheLabs
YES!! BIG congrats to Jake on his NSFGRFP 🎉🍾🎊 #ProudPI #JumpingForJoyInMyOffice

We are celebrating today !!!! Congratulations to our very own Jake Chamblee for being offered an NSF graduate research fellowship!! Well deserved!! @BCMFromtheLabs
Interested in planarian #flatworms? Listen to Dr. @BlairBenhamPyle's podcast discussing their #STEMCells, and new methods to address big questions in #regeneration. @bcmhouston

We are excited to welcome Amit Dubey as our first postdoctoral scholar!! So excited to see all the great science he does over the next few years… stayed tuned!
Congratulations to Jake Chamblee for being the first Benham-Pyle Lab graduate student to pass their qualifying exam! Amazing job and lots of cool science to look forward to! @BCMFromtheLabs

This #FlatwormFriday @BlairBenhamPyle talked to the theater audience @recroomhtx about what we can learn about cloning and nature vs. nurture from planaria! @BCMFromtheLabs @CAGTHouston @bcmhouston

We just posted a new version of our planarian spatial transcriptomics story! Lots of new analysis & RNAi functional testing. Check it out! @ScienceStowers @fg_mann @DungVuu @S_Nowotarski @Planaria1 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
It’s #FlatwormFriday and we’ve got a new toy!!! We are taking all the pretty pictures now, including some fun shots of dividing planarian stem cells :) @BCMFromtheLabs @bcmhouston @CAGTHouston @zeiss_micro
Glial regeneration and development in planarians!! Woohoo indeed!
It’s #FlatwormFriday and we celebrated the commissioning of our planarian aquatic environment! This multi-tiered flowing river will house our growing animal colony starting (fingers-crossed) next week! Wish the sentinel planaria good luck and good health :)
The Dept of Molecular and Cellular Biology @bcmhouston marks its 50th anniversary today! 🎉 🍾 It was the first Cell Biology dept in the country!
It’s the second #FlatwormFriday of 2023 and it was Liver Day! The @BenhamPyleLab processed fresh beef liver home grown in Texas to feed the planarian colony and support our future RNAi screens. 30 lbs of liver in six hours… capped off with a team pizza party :) @BCMFromtheLabs
For the first lab meeting of the year @BlairBenhamPyle was inspired by her fellow #NewPIs to do a state of the lab talk! Biggest highlight of 2022 were the transformation of the planarian vivarium (aquatics are in!) and the lab's first RNAi/in situ screen. Can't wait for 2023!
