Best Christmas present this year! Go science and RNA. Thanks to the nurses at VUMC who will spend all the holidays vaccinating us.
The Pua lab is recruiting a postdoc to study extracellular vesicle biogenesis in bladder cancer and the immune system, and its role in the tumor microenvironment. Interested? Send a CV to [email protected] to find out more!
Wow!!! Congrats @JeffRathmell. An amazing and well deserved award.
Wow!!! Congrats @JeffRathmell. An amazing and well deserved award.
Friend back at UCSF is looking for a postdoc to work on identifying new blood cancer immunotherapy targets and engineering cellular therapies. Super exciting work and a fantastic lab. Check it out! wiitalab.ucsf.edu/post-doctoral-…
Lupus Research Alliance Announces 2019 Distinguished Innovator Awards Aimed at New Lupus Treatment. Congrats to our distinguished lab neighbor @JeffRathmell on this great award!!!👏👏👏 lupusresearch.org/lupus-research…
RNA therapies explained nature.com/articles/d4158…. A nice brief intro to RNA therapy.
Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. Thrilled to spend the next 5 years studying extracellular RNA in the allergic lung.

Excited to host Dr. Jennifer Martinez for our departmental seminar series. Hope to see everyone there in an hour!
Congratulations to our undergraduate research student Grace who has finished up her summer internship program!
Check out our recent publication in Cell Reports (Pua et al. 2019.), which was highlighted by the Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium. We demonstrate that infiltrating immune cells release ex-miRNAs and EVs in inflamed tissues to alter the local extracellular environment.
