Excited for the journey ahead 🥳
The Ernest E. Just Biomedical Society's annual "Tackling Cell 6000" workshop will take place on September 23rd in Smilow 10-146AB from 5-7 PM. This workshop is to support BGS first years as they prepare for their first grad school exam!
Congratulations to @alexadigun3 and @SENA_SARIKAYA for winning poster awards at the @UPennDSRB retreat today! It is a privilege to have such excellent students!
🥳🥳
1/n) Excited to share our new preprint: Using high-res live embryo imaging we show that transcription factor hubs are localized to new genes when specific DNA binding is perturbed. Hub interaction kinetics at these new sites determine factor occupancy: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Excited to share our new opinion article (sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) on how "Dynamic microenvironments shape nuclear organization & gene expression" published in the Current Opinion in Genetics & Development co-authored by twitterless Matthew Fischer & @MustafaMir16! A thread [1/7]
Happy international women's day! Celebrating the amazing women scientists in the lab , past & present,(PhD students, techs, undergrads, summer interns) & admins. @littlescholar_ @kaeli_mathias @GHaywardLara @sapnakk09 @alexadigun3 @ALKFantauzzi @jktmartini28 @sk8sciencemama

@A_P_S_A's recent @JCI_insight publication shows MD-PhD acceptance correlates with research experience/publications, yet first-gen, Black, and re-applicants were less likely to be accepted regardless of research background. insight.jci.org/articles/view/… #DoubleDocs #MedTwitter
Checkout our new paper🤩
Yesterday, @JCI_insight pubbed our study examining MD-PhD program acceptance & how it varies by demographics & research experience. 1st-gen, Black or reapplying applicants were less likely to be accepted, regardless of research experience & publications. insight.jci.org/articles/view/…
🥲 so proud of you! Oh what one conversation can do!
Super excited to be a part of The Mir Lab and the journey ahead! 🥳
Thanks!!!
YES YES YES CONGRATS!!🥳🥳
Year 2 started Monday 🥲
It’s an honor & privilege to don my white coat as I begin my MD-PhD training. In the last 60 YEARS, only ~200 black men have pursued & finished a MD-PhD. Knowing I will join their ranks one day is a blessing & I’m so thankful to God & my Village that got me here! 👌🏾👨🏾⚕️🩺
My ten weeks spent as a Cornell lab and BTI REU intern were amazing!! Thank you to the @McArtLab for everything! I am going to miss everyone
