Speck Lab

1 year later, people who participated in @moderna_tx trials at @PennMedicine share what motivated them to volunteer ft. Suean Fontenard (@LabSpeck/ @PennCDB), Adrian Reynolds (@PennFRES), @breadenwater (Palliative Care) & Mary Kerstetter (@fountainwoods) bit.ly/3Fh6gvz

Our graduate student Elizabeth successfully defended her thesis yesterday! Thank you to everyone who came both in person and virtually !

Very exciting times to be doing cellular barcoding work!! Glad to see some of our research featured in the @nytimes. Great to be collaborating with @leonard_zon @JShendure and @bloodgenes nytimes.com/2021/11/29/hea…

DM us if you're interested in watching and we'll share the link 🤓

@NorthTrista 🥰🥰🥰

@LabSpeck Love it!! Speck lab photos are always filled w/the most amazing people 🥰

@ozgevargel Thank you! We think HE specification is exquisitely sensitive to TGFb dose and we did actually try much higher doses than used in the paper initially and it dramatically altered the cultures which is how we ended up with low dose/short duration of TGFb

These results are contradicting with ours (Vargel O, Sci. Rep., 2016), but I find the discussion very valuable. Thanks @LabSpeck for providing a different perspective: Efficient hemogenic endothelial cell specification by RUNX1… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34675061/

We're excited to have CAMB Students Yeqiao Zhou @YeqiaoZhou (Faryabi @bfariabi and Pear labs) and Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2 (Speck @LabSpeck lab) give their talks during the CAMB Symposium a little later today at 3:15pm and 3:40pm! med.upenn.edu/camb/camb-symp…

Have you ever wondered what makes an endothelial cell permissive to be reprogrammed by RUNX1 to a blood cell? Well I have the answer for you - see article and 🧵genesdev.cshlp.org/content/early/…

Final lab meeting presentation today 😊😬👩🏼‍💻

Stop by #RUNX1Week at 2:40 pm ET for a #RUNX1 101 with @NIH's @nataliedeuitch & @UWCarbone's Kelcy Smith-Simmer. Then at 3:25 pm ET, Dr Nancy Speck of @LabSpeck & Dr @EricsonKatrin share key takeaways from the Scientific Sessions held earlier this week! ow.ly/8qB450GkDSL

There will be six talks from current students: Maxwell Chappell, Elizabeth Howell @Howell_ED2 , Aileen Ren @Grizzleen and.... 4/7

Only one hour until our 5th Annual Conference - #RUNX1Week: Creating Connections begins! Join the first scientific discussion at 10am ET on Modeling & Targeting #ClonalHematopoiesis with Dr @DavidSteensma @LabSpeck Dr Lucio Castilla & Dr Serine Avagyan ow.ly/TLat50Gh34C

"When I was a postdoc we poured our own gels, cut our own markers, and distilled our own phenol. It took me 6 months to sequence 1.5 kb of DNA. Times have changed!" Dr. Nancy Speck @LabSpeck #NPAW2021 #BPPpostdocs @UpennBPC @CHOP_Postdocs

#RUNX1Week is only 1 week away! Register today to join discussions on "Modeling Clonal Hematopoiesis & Uncovering Drivers of Clonal Evolution" with experts from @sloan_kettering, @nih_nhlbi, @genome_gov, @StJude, @MedicineUVA & @EinsteinMed. Click here: runx1-fpd.org/conference

My paper is officially officially accepted AND I accepted a major job offer. It has been a BIG week and it’s only Tuesday

Our work on single-cell ribosome profiling is out! Huge congrats to @mvanins who was brave enough to embark on this pretty crazy experiment that turned out to work beautifully. Thank you @jervdberg, Amanda Andersson-Rolf and @HansClevers. Check it out: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations to Dr. Nancy Speck (@LabSpeck) on her reappointment as Chair of CDB! 🎉 We look forward to continuing our department's growth under you leadership.

Happy to share the reappointment of Dr. Speck to the Chair of the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at UPenn for a second 6 year term med.upenn.edu/evpdeancommuni…
