Sad to not be at #ASHG2022 seeing all the great work and catching up with colleagues. But talented MD/PhD student Redwan Bhuiyan is there representing! Come see his talk today, 11:15, Rm 515/West Bldg on his work defining the genetics of human islet stress responses in diabetes!

🚨New from us: We found that a shared retrograde (mitonuclear) signaling program controls cellular maturity and fate across numerous metabolic tissues with important lessons for metabolic diseases. We'd be grateful if you checked out our preprint! 😃 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨🚨The University of Michigan Caswell Diabetes Institute is recruiting new faculty to join us in lovely Ann Arbor. Please RT, apply, or share with colleagues who might be interested! #GoBlue diabetes.med.umich.edu/events-news/ne…

Interested in single cell genomics but need help getting started? Check out my lab's Single Cell Genomics Day on March 4. Talks will feature recent exciting computational and experimental advances and will be livestreamed at satijalab.org/scgd. Please RT/spread the word!

@PraveenSethup That was an absolute clinic last night! Snoozer of a game but definitely musta been exciting for you and the BillsMafia :-)

YEAH!!!

We are hiring! If you’re interested in joining the new lab at Northwestern to tackle questions related to how food allergy develops or how cells in the immune system are genetically regulated please reach out by email @NUFeinbergMed @AdamWilliamsLab

@ardemp @NIH NIH study sections truly are the great equalizer!

@roelverhaak 💯—the “don’t”s probably should have been responsibly prioritized before the industry move, which likely would have helped trainees and personnel on the “do” front.

Shutting down your lab bc of industry move. DO: understand the level of stress for trainees you created, help them figure out next steps, make sure they are okay. DONT: be primarily concerned about finishing projects and getting more publications/IP

Loving the first big game with my son and the best fans in college football #psupride

🚨🚨🚨Faculty recruitment alert! 🚨🚨🚨 We're recruiting new diabetes faculty at all levels in the @UMich Caswell Diabetes Institute. Please check out the link and get in touch or RT! Come join us in beautiful Ann Arbor! #GoBlue medicine.umich.edu/dept/diabetes/…

@bnwolford Seems like a REALLY funny joke to me….;-)

Responded “you ROC” to a colleague today when he sent me AUROC plots. Stress and sleep deprivation cause dad jokes? Weird.

@PraveenSethup Thanks, P! This was a fun study that whet my whistle. There should be some more exciting stuff on the way…

@epgnomike Congrats, Stitz!!

Excited to share the latest findings in our T2D variant-to-function adventures, out now in Nature Communications (nature.com/articles/s4146…). Brief summary of the findings in this thread (1/n)

This was led by the super talented graduate(d) student Shubham Khetan in an awesome collaboration with @r_tewhey and @duyguucar. We hope our work will provide some new context and insights on folks’ favorite loci. (6/6)

MPRA narrowed candidates to a single SNP for 54 T2D signals. Unexpectedly, MPRA suggested SNPs in repetitive elements, which we have traditionally ignored or avoided, may play an important role in modulating transcriptional beta cell stress responses and in T2D genetics. (5/n)
