Had a fantastic Visit to Purdue Cancer Institute. Students & faculty were super. Thanks, @QZ_ChemSynBiol for being a stellar host & great visit! Enjoyed talking about @CeiFccc & our new studies on #Epigenetic Mechanisms controlling #extrachromosomalDNA & #Rearrangements genesis

Drugging the Undruggable: Epigenetics— Jian Jin, Johnathan R. Whetstine, and Scott A. Armstrong will address this topic in a special session at the AACR D3 Conference on Drug Discovery and Development (July 21-24; Boston). brnw.ch/21x1iUE #AACRdrugdev26 @WhetstineLab

A huge thanks to @WhetstineLab and @CeiFccc for inviting me to speak as part of their NEXT epi-GEN seminar series! I had a wonderful day filled with insightful conversations and engaging discussions about epigenetics and cancer biology. First time in Philly = success!

So great hosting @chromajain for the @FoxChaseCancer @CeiFccc #NEXTepiGEN seminar series that features Assistant Professors conducting Epigenetic-related research. Nice discussions and science. Come back anytime to visit.

So cool to see this in the @phillymag. A real Highlight for @CeiFccc and @FoxChaseCancer center. phillymag.com/sponsor-conten… Another example of our special bedside-to-bench partnership and ability to build relationships with industry partners so we can help our amazing patients.

@TempleHealth today announced the appointment of Robert A. Winn, MD, as the next Cancer Center Director for Fox Chase, marking a defining moment that will shape the future of one of the nation’s leading @theNCI designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers: bit.ly/47azyMA

‼️The Free, Hybrid Annual #Cancer #Epigenetics Institute (@CeiFccc) #Symposium is Thursday‼️ >700 from ~18 countries & >50% US states Bringing World-class Science Annually to Anyone, Anywhere at Any Educational Level Thanks sponsors & @FoxChaseCancer Virtual spots still open

This groundbreaking conference will gather leaders from biotech, pharma, academia, regulatory agencies, technology, venture capital, and patient advocacy in Boston to revolutionize the way cancer therapies are discovered, developed, and delivered. Submit your abstract by May 7!

Today is #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience. As one of @AACR’s 17 female presidents, I’m proud to serve an organization where women comprise 45% of our membership and 55% of our leadership, building on progress that began with our first woman member in 1908.

This partnership offers thrilling new opportunities to expand the reach of our research network and spark creative approaches beyond traditional funding models. We are excited to be part of this newly formed coalition.

Always great to see outstanding new data from faculty & trainees! We had Alfonso Bellacosa discuss newest studies @CeiFccc Monthly meeting and Umesh speak about his discoveries in Skorski Lab in #NDC_Program @FoxChaseCancer

@valendraica @jesstylerlab @epicypher @GCloner Congrats!!!

A wonderful collaboration between @jesstylerlab, @epicypher, @gcloner, James Kadonaga and our lab at PSU. In this article, we provide the significance of the nucleosome acidic patch doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

@DanLevy_BGU Congrats!

🎉 Excited to share our new study now published in NAR. We reveal a SETD6-controlled methylation–acetylation switch on E2F1 (K117) that regulates BRD4 binding, chromatin occupancy, and oncogenic gene programs in prostate cancer. #NAR academic.oup.com/nar/article/54…

@WhetstineLab @Armstrong_dfci @DanaFarber @FoxChaseCancer @TheCrick Thanks @Armstrong_dfci for an inspiring discussion with our trainees!
