Re @23andMe DOWNLOAD YOUR DATA! customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/artic… DO NOT follow deletion instructions from anyone who says to delete without downloading. If you delete without downloading your data will be gone permanently. And take a pause before you delete. I am not deleting my data from the company. There is enormous unrealized value in the data for biomedical research. And now that the obstructive and possessive CEO has resigned and is being increasingly disentangled from the company (thank you responsible board members!), it should be able to realize the promise of the data. #DownloadBeforeDeletion #23andme

Spread the word! Great opportunity for cancer immunology/immunology focused postsocs @CancerResearch

Quick update: Thanks so much for the outpouring of support and help. We learned a lot in the last week and the tumor is actually a myeloid sarcoma likely derived from early AML, with the hope of possible targeted therapies as well (KMT2Ar). We have a long road ahead of us, but the last week has made it much more clear on the diagnosis and what to do next. Thanks again for all the help. I feel like we have turned over every rock, we are getting great care and in touch with all the relevant folks. 🙏

We collaborated with Jennifer Wang's team to explore HSV-1 induced inflammation in brain organoids versus stem cell derived pancreatic islets. mdpi.com/3065968 #mdpicells via @Cells_MDPI

@dbgoodman @Penn_CBIO Congrats!!!

Big news! 🥳🥂 In July 2025, I will be joining the faculty of University of Pennsylvania, @Penn_CBIO. The Goodman Lab for Synthetic Immunology will combine synthetic biology, genome engineering, and ML-driven functional genomics to study and manipulate primary immune cells. 🧵1/3

We are recruiting a postdoc! Have expertise in RNA biology and want to apply it to neuro and neurodev disorders? Then apply 👇🏼 📌 $73,588 💰 📌 access to postdoc housing 🏠 📌 Support for internationals 🌍 📌 Awesome view 😅 🙏 RT labs.icahn.mssm.edu/derubeislab/wp…

Just out! Thanks to @jhtsong, Ryan Doan, @OldManTae and to the @AllenFrontiers Center for Human Brain Evolution! Remarkable that HARs carry as much or more recessive genetic risk for ASD as more highly conserved regulatory elements! @HHMINEWS @BCHNeuroRes @harvardmed

Everything you wanted to know about the Big Three DNA Sensors: AIM2, cGAS, TLR9. Several suppritive characters also discussed. A must read authoritative review by Fitzgerald. @FitzgeraldKate nature.com/articles/s4159…

“Also the first author” 👀

UMass Chan Medical School will host a news conference with Victor R. Ambros, PhD, who shares the 2024 @NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine for his co-discovery of microRNA, at 10 a.m. EST. Media: Email UMassChanCommunications@umassmed.edu for info. #NobelPrize #BreakingNews

nature.com/articles/s4159… I hope this is a helpful review! Appreciate the opportunity to co-write this review in @NatImmunol with my mentor @FitzgeraldKate. Thanks to all the reviewers' comments which significantly elevated our work and thanks to the unsung artists for their art!

Very exciting work by @geochurch et al. In @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…

Check out this #newpublication and beautiful images from the @FitzgeraldKate and #AnnRothstein labs in @JCI_insight! @UMass_Medicine @UMassChan

Our new @UCSF #FindCOVID/#LIINC paper in @NatureComms showing SCV2 burden in first 3 weeks of COVID predicts future #LongCovid. In addition to LC treatment trials, we need investment in studies to prevent LC! Zero US-based trials on prevention so far. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to share our latest pancreatic cancer findings in collaboration with @AtukoralePU's group and led by former postdoc Loretah Chibaya and current research associate Kelly DeMarco in our lab. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
