Can VSMC senescence be a reversible phenotype? Our review explores if senescent VSMCs are an intermediate VSMC state. @alihermanlab @em_maragkakis @katarinagresova ahajrnls.org/3JWjo10

Super cool presentations today by @ana_cujba @AliHermanlab, Amber Stratmann and @mahak906! Circadian biology, senescence, cilia and many more new exciting topics in this morning session!

1/ No, you do not always need single-cell RNA-seq. Here's why bulk RNA-seq might still be the smarter move for your experiment.

So much to celebrate this week! Our first original research paper was published, we welcomed our new postbac, Ted, and said goodbye to our longest tenured lab member and postbac Charnae' who is off to Georgetown for her Master's! I am very proud of this group 🥳

We are migrating to Blue Sky! Come join the party 🎉😅 bsky.app/profile/aliher…

My lab has been working for the past 15 years to develop a method to isolate specific genomic loci to identify its chromatin composition & protein interactome. Finally,… our superb physician/scientist Dr. Bercin Cenik @bkcenik did it and here it is cell.com/molecular-cell… Not only was she able to develop this method, which she calls TurboCAS, she was able to identify known & novel regulators of heat shock & Myc expression. Cannot wait to see what Bercin and TurboCAS will discover about the molecular basis of transcriptional regulation with great impact on clinic in the next few years! @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @MolecularCell

@mete_civelek @MedicineUVA @UVA Congratulations!!

Associate Professor no more! I have been promoted to Professor of Genome Sciences @MedicineUVA I am grateful to my all my previous and current trainees, my colleagues at @UVA and elsewhere, my letter writers, and my family. 🙏

VABU field trip to see #Wicked for our holiday outing! We loved it 💚🩷

A comprehensive review on cellular #senescence, highlighting up-to-date mechanisms and interventions. A must-read resource for advancing #aging research.👇 nature.com/articles/s4151… Great work by @flor_herbstein, @Smorsli_ & rest of yICSA board members.

Really interesting study from @hagayanay and the Beerman lab 👇🏻👏🏻

🚨Postdoc Opportunity🚨 Join the Brain Health Equity Unit @ NIA to study brain health disparities in historically marginalized communities, using neuroimaging, genomics & epidemiology. Apply by 10/4/24: training.nih.gov/jobs/pdp-10042… #Postdoc #BrainHealth #HealthDisparities #ScienceJobs

Very happy to have this out! In this study we show that the DNA modification, 5hmC, increases over bodies of tissue-specific genes in the aging liver and serves a function different from DNA methylation. Congrats @occean_james! nature.com/articles/s4146…

@senergystic @occean_james Congratulations! Fantastic study 🎉

Thanks so much to all who shared and expressed interest. Unfortunately this position can only be filled by a US citizen at this time.

We are hiring a postbac fellow! The focus will be vascular aging in mice, with the ability to learn other skills such as cell culture and molecular biology techniques! Please DM or send to anyone interested

@nnhooten Thank you, @nnhooten !

@AliHermanlab Congratulations!

Once again, we are grateful and elated to see AGE supporting our trainees! We are so proud of Ada and all that she has accomplished so far, with much more to come! Check out Ada’s poster if you are attending #AGE2024 next week!

It will be hard to top this year’s meeting but I can’t wait to take everyone to the best places for crabs, crab cakes, and pit beef! 🦀 See you in Baltimore 🦀

@DataExplorer21 Thank you! I hope our paths cross again in science and medicine at some point 🙏🏻

@AliHermanlab So happy for you!

Our new lab, the Vascular Aging Biology Unit, opens this June and we are looking for postdocs who are interested in studying the vascular senescent cell surfaceome and vascular aging and its relationship with cognitive decline. Please DM if interested, and RT to share

@MelindaBChu1 @HaoYin20 Thank you!

@AliHermanlab @HaoYin20 Posting in some Grad groups.
