WashU Medicine researchers have found a way to make aggressive glioblastoma cells vulnerable to immunotherapy. Demonstrated in cells in the lab, researchers forced cancerous cells to display targets for the immune system to attack. medicine.washu.edu/news/researche…

My last PhD project on epigenetic-treatment-induced novel antigens in glioblastoma is out. It was a privilege to work with the co-first authors, @joshhjang, @Nakul2234, and @leung_holden, and mentors, @AlbertHKimMDPhD and @twang5. Please read for more: nature.com/articles/s4158….

🧬🚨 Our study on novel antigens induced in glioblastoma upon treatment with epigenetic therapy is out!! This study was led by @joshhjang with co-first-authors @leung_holden and @JuheonM, and mentored by @twang5 and @AlbertHKimMDPhD. 5 Key Takeaways: 1/5 nature.com/articles/s4158…

@mpmeers In this study, silicon oil was employed as an overlay during cDNA synthesis to prevent evaporation. I am not sure this is compatible with your experiment. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Am I crazy for thinking there is a safe way to store samples long-term (1-2 months) at 4˚C in a 96-well plate? Have gone through increasingly intense plate sealing strategies only to have samples evaporate every time 😥

Genomic dark matters are important for understanding and treating cancer. Joint work with @leung_holden , @XuanCircleQu and @Nakul2234.

@arnavm1 Thank you Arnav!

@JuheonM Congrats! 🎉

My first first-authored paper about "Finding transposable element (TE)-antigens using long reads" is published in Genome Research. Thank you to my mentor, Dr. Ting Wang. Please take a look if you're interested in TE expression and their antigens. genome.cshlp.org/content/early/…

Excited to see our study out: 🧬Pan-cancer analysis identifies tumor-specific antigens derived from transposable elements!! nature.com/articles/s4158…. @joshhjang @leung_holden @twang5 @JuheonM A thread highlighting the results 🧵 1/17
