(1/n) Excited to share our new preprint! We uncover that RNA actively promotes nucleation and function of pathogenic condensates, amplifying locus-specific oncogenic transcription and promoting tumorigenesis. #epigenetics #condensates #cancer #RNA biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@bloodgenes @Anders_S_Hansen @lvchosen1 @silvirouskin @Armstrong_dfci @CellPressNews @DanaFarberNews @DanaFarber @BroadMPG @broadinstitute @hhmi_science @BostonChildrens @GauravA_UK @guo_chunjie Congrats Vijay! So great to see this story out!

🚨 Excited to share a new paper in Cell! Human genetics led us to HOTSCRAMBL, a HOXA-locus lncRNA that regulates 🩸#stemcell self-renewal and HOXA9 splicing, with implications for AML. Amazing work by @lvchosen1 with @silvirouskin, @Armstrong_dfci, and many more! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Join us Aug 3–6 in Porto for the #FASEB Biological Acetylation Conference! great lineup spanning #chromatin #epigenetics #metabolism #cancer and drug development! keynotes by Asifa Akhtar and Shelley Berger! #BAHSRC2026 events.faseb.org/event/biologic…

@ael2b Congrats Agata! So great to see this out finally!

Our new paper is out in Genes & Development! We found that a small domain in PRC2 — the SBD — isn't just structural scaffolding. It's a mechanical switch that powers the whole complex. Remove it, and cancers driven by EZH2 mutations stop growing. 🧵

@brangwynnelab @BrunetLab @brkthroughprize @HymanLab Huge congratulations!!

Fantastic weekend at the @brkthroughprize celebration, finally celebrating our Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences with @HymanLab. What an incredible event!

@yu_jindan @jdlicht Congrats!

So glad to become a member of AAP. With my nominator and sponsor @jdlicht

Heading to San Diego for #AACR26! excited to present our latest work on condensates at the Major Symposium on chromatin, epigenetics, and cancer, alongside leaders in the field @TheRobertsLab1 @Armstrong_dfci. Come join the discussion if you’re interested! @PennMedicine

@rushika_perera @genophoria Congrats Rushika!

Honored to recieve the 2026 UCSF Byers Award in Basic Science. Eternally grateful to my mentors, colleagues and friends for your support and to all the past and present Perera Lab members to whom this honor is dedicated to 🙏🏽

@QinYan1 @UTSWMedCenter @kaelin_lab @yalepathology @YaleMed @Yale Congratulations Qin! Well deserved!!

I am really honored for this. This would not be possible without the hard work of my trainees, guidance by mentors including Joan and Ron Conaway @UTSWMedCenter , @kaelin_lab, David Stern, and Jeff Sklar, and support of my colleagues @yalepathology @YaleMed @Yale, and my family.

@PapapetrouMDPhD @ISEHSociety @beth_psaila Congrats Eirini!

So incredibly honored to receive this award by @ISEHSociety! Congratulations to the other awardees @beth_psaila and Ellen Rothenberg.

@bradylabupenn @TheModzLab @ASBMB Congrats Donita and thanks for all you have done!

Grateful to @ASBMB for this extraordinary honor and to the colleagues who nominated me. This recognition means a great deal because it affirms something I believe deeply: talent is universal, but access is not.

@MaayanLevyPhD @RogerRogergr @CellCellPress @MarcoRuella @Shan_Liu_ @PuneethGuru_ Congrats Maayan and team! Very interesting findings!

Excited to share our new paper in @CellCellPress with @MarcoRuella, led by @Shan_Liu_ and @PuneethGuru_. CAR T cell therapy loses effectiveness over time due to metabolic exhaustion, but we found a surprisingly simple approach to address it. 👇 cell.com/cell/abstract/…

@GMBurslem Huge congrats George! So well deserved!

Thank you to all the friends, collaborators, lab members and mentors who made this happen!

Just ~1 month until our @KeystoneSymp on Epigenetics and Gene Regulation in Health and Disease! keystonesymposia.org/conferences/co… @kjarmache and I have tailored this meeting around the unique basic and translational science in our field, addressing both challenges and new opportunities in moving mechanisms to successful drug development. Join us and reach out if you have questions!!

A short but wonderful visit at UCSF - thanks to Xiaokun @ShuLab2010 and Danica for the invitation to share our work on #epigenetics #condensates #cancer and to friends (old and new) for the great discussion! And so glad I made it home before the snowstorm shut everything down

@JunQiLab @PennMedicine @junwei_s Thanks for visiting us!

It was such a fun day to visit ⁦@PennMedicine⁩ and talk about science with ⁦@junwei_s⁩ ⁦@LilingWanLab⁩ and present our science. Thank you for having me.

@iannisaifantis1 So great to have you visit and share the beautiful work!

Taking the show to Philly and CHOP today!! research.chop.edu/events/ccgm-se…

@FilbinMariella @DanaFarber @BostonChildrens Congrats Mariella!

Incredibly honored to be part of this group! @DanaFarber @BostonChildrens

@LucasFarnung @TheMarkFdn Congrats Lucas!

Extremely honored to have been selected as a The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research Emerging Leader Award Winner. @TheMarkFdn, many thanks for your support!

@XDavidLiLab1 @nchembio Congrats David! Exciting results!

We have reported a series of first-in-class inhibitors for YEATS domain proteins since 2018, including an ENL inhibitor in 2018, an AF9 inhibitor in 2020, and now the first YEATS2 inhibitor. This work is now published in @nchembio nature.com/articles/s4158…
