David A. Rodriguez

Im beyond thrilled to share that I will be attending @VanderbiltU IGP PhD program this fall! I want to sincerely thank Taru and Subhash for being amazing scientific beacons for the past 4 years! I hope to continue my passion in researching GI diseases at Vandy! Go dores! 💛

Congrats to Dr. Emma Wilkinson who defended her thesis "Elucidating the Role of ALKBH1 in Arsenic-Induced Skin Tumorigenesis" today. Congratulations Emma, thank you for all you have done for CCB, and best of luck at Dana-Farber!

JC today: HIV-1 capsid at the nuclear pore complex! TL;DR HIV-1 capsid is mostly intact and fits through the nuclear pore during infection (btw amazing correlative light microscopy & EM 👌) doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

On the cover @MolecularCell! Happy to contribute with my art work to the wonderful science of @acharyaish and @DemetriadesLab. In this issue they show how #mTORC1 activation facilitates its own release from the lysosomes.

We had wonderful discussions at our first joint work-in-progress session with @UChicagoCOI! We can't wait to create more collaborative spaces for our graduate students and scientists in the future.

Today, we proudly celebrate our PhD candidates at the #QualificationJubilation as they reach a major milestone on their journey…receiving their master’s degree! A big thank you to the thesis mentors who’ve been there every step of the way! #EinsteinStrong

@UChicagoCCB @ucsantabarbara @davidinstem Congratulations, David! We’re excited to follow your continued success and achievements #EinsteinPREPalum

Meet David Rodriguez! David studied Biology at @ucsantabarbara and completed a post-bacc at @EinsteinPhD in NYC. He's interested in advancing cancer bio research and growing as a scientist. You can often find him skateboarding through the streets and neighborhoods of Chicago! 🛹

Congrats to all the grad students and postdocs at Einstein for their outstanding research at today’s #ScienceStrong poster session! Exciting to see such inspiring work pushing the boundaries of science! #EinsteinStrong #ResearchExcellence

One of the strengths of the CCB program is our connection to the @UCCancerCenter which supports our trainees and faculty in team science initiatives and in translating our research from bench to bedside. At the Ignite Symposium, CCB faculty spoke about their exciting new work.

@PiusTonu Thanks Tonu for being the best TA ever!!! Excited to be apart of the UChicago community 🐵

qBio10 - the 10th annual weeklong quantitative analysis bootcamp, where incoming bioscience PhDs explore the intersection of biology & data science! 🧬💻 From coding challenges to city adventures, such an amazing TA experience🎓✨ Excited for their paths ahead! 🐒

Hi #metabolism twitter. ~5 years ago wrote a review with @mvh_lab and @DMM_Journal about how the microenvironment drives many metabolic features/targets of cancers: tinyurl.com/3sk263z9 1/7

For a #mentoring relationship to be successful, both the mentor and the mentee must be wholeheartedly committed and have a clear understanding of their respective roles and responsibilities. This forms the cornerstone for building a mutually rewarding and enriching experience.

Survival kits ready! 🛠️🌇 We can’t wait to start welcoming our new PhD students to Einstein this Friday. These bags are packed with essentials to help them settle in (and thrive) as they begin their Einstein journey! #EinsteinPhD #Orientation #Welcome

I’m honored to be back at the @LeadershipAllia National Symposium, alongside my esteemed colleagues @KNGonzalez_PhD from @Yale and @VgpPr from @Penn. Together, we have the privilege to lead a workshop and share personal experiences & tips for successfully navigating grad school.

I'm thrilled to start today as an Assistant Professor at @UCDavisHealth in the depts. of @ucd_physiology and OB/GYN! This is a special kind of first day of school. :) So excited to launch my lab!

Amazing talk on microscopy+biophysics+mitochondrial biology #MBLPhysiology @MBLScience by the great @SulianaManley. Started by emphasizing how we need to talk to trainees more about failures, since science (&life) involves so many and is central to learning & growth. Fantastic

Effective mentoring recognizes and appreciates the challenges many trainees faced when relocating to unfamiliar locations for their training. We should be empathetic and ensure that our approach focuses not only on their career training but also on their overall wellbeing.
