This month we’re celebrating our 1yr “labiversary”. Thankful for amazing lab members. Thankful for supportive colleagues @UNC_PHCO, @UNC_Lineberger, @TTUHSC_GSBS , and @ttuhscmed . Thankful for the many good things to come!

@Dr_Kevin_Pruitt @EllieJull @UNCBBSP @UNC_PHCO @UNC_Lineberger Welcome to the lab @EllieJull , glad to be working with you 😊

Introducing the immensely gifted @EllieJull, a Ph.D. student with exceptional creativity and potential. Ellie is destined to make her mark exploring new #cancer biology paradigms. Thrilled she's part of the lab and research community @UNCBBSP in @UNC_PHCO & @UNC_Lineberger 🌟

@Dr_Kevin_Pruitt @UNC @UNC_PHCO @UNC_Lineberger Very exciting and fun to be working alongside with you Grace! You are the best ❤️

Introducing the truly amazing Grace Stroman, a Ph.D. student whose rare combination of genius, humility, thoughtfulness, and hard work will help illuminate the field of #epigenetics. So excited she’s part of the lab and research community @UNC in @UNC_PHCO & @UNC_Lineberger 🌟

Congrats to Dalia on her Ph.D. defense!! Thank you @TTUHSC_GSBS and @TTUHSC for making this possible! Thank you @UNC_PHCO and @UNCLineberger for welcoming her during the final months of completion. #phdlife #BreastCancer #WNT

While giving a seminar at The George Washington University, I had the most wonderful visit with faculty. Met with @ChiappinelliLab and learned about their exciting studies, and spoke with exceptionally bright postdocs and graduate students. Simply amazing!

Postdoctoral-Faculty Research Day at UNC #learning new things. @Dr_Kevin_Pruitt @Dali_XIII

@mandaasci Congratulations Amanda😊

Happy to announce that I have been selected as a recipient for the Rodent Microvascular Surgery Training Program Scholarship at Columbia University Medical Center! I will work in hands-on sessions focused on further developing my microvascular surgery techniques in rodent models

Excited to announce we’re moving to @UNC Chapel Hill. Thank you TTUHSC for 9 amazing years, and thank you @UNC_Lineberger and @UNC_PHCO for the opportunity to return to the place where my dreams were first realized.

Congratulations to both Flavia and Geetha who passed their Ph.D. qualifying exams this week. Brilliant work!! @TTUHSC_GSBS, @ttuhscmed, #Wnt, #happy, #goals, #Dishevelled

@Dr_Kevin_Pruitt @TTUHSC_GSBS @ttuhscmed @FlaviaSardela Thank you, Dr. Pruitt😊 I am grateful for your guidance. Couldn’t have done it without you!

So excited... Manuscript accepted! "Dishevelled 2 regulates cancer cell proliferation and T cell mediated immunity in HER2+ breast cancer" Congrats to @RashaFahmida @Geetha_Boligala @ValerieYang @Dali_XIII @Sonia_Y_Khan @Maribel_Castro_ @IsaCast03614613 & others 🌟 ❤️

In this Spotlight (bit.ly/3hMc1L7), @JCellBiol, Rachel Babcock and I preview work by Kang et al. (bit.ly/3zSmN8K) describing how LLPS of Dishevelled-2 promotes assembly of Wnt signalosome condensates while also disrupting the β-catenin destruction complex.

@Dr_Kevin_Pruitt @RachelLBabs @Dali_XIII @FlaviaSardela We all miss you here Dr. Pruitt.

@Geetha_Boligala @RachelLBabs @Dali_XIII @FlaviaSardela Love it!!

Not all conferences start with the keynote presentations #AACRTll22 #Pruittlab @RachelLBabs @Dali_XIII @FlaviaSardela

Huge congrats to @Dr_Kevin_Pruitt!! Very well deserved!@TTUHSC_GSBS

Very excited about this review. Please check it out!🔍 Nuclear Dishevelled: An enigmatic role in governing cell fate and Wnt signaling pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35688346/ bit.ly/3xodqM9 #Wnt, #Dishevelled, #Robinow, #PTM, #Acetylation, #Methylation, #Cancer, #Frizzled, #bcatenin

Our SABR undergrad, Thomas Hintelmann, got a taste of @eviemaesbbq during a lab lunch. Soon he'll present at our #SABR symposium before heading back to @monmouthu. "Summer Accelerated Biomedical Research" by @TTUHSC_GSBS provides great opportunities for research and learning!

Please join me in welcoming Geetha Priya Boligala to the Pruitt lab! Geetha’s pioneering spirit and phenomenal work ethic will help her as she explores the role of #Dishevelled in cancer biology and immunology. So excited she’s part of the team! 🌟
