I am happy to share that my work in the @CaloLabMIT at @MITBiology is out now in @AJHGNews. We found a connection between tRNA splicing defects and facial development, which deepens our functional understanding of genetic risk for cleft lip and palate. authors.elsevier.com/c/1ky1CgeXDywh

Check out the news article about my postdoc paper covered by MIT News: news.mit.edu/2025/new-study…

🚨Online now! 📰A non-syndromic orofacial cleft risk locus links tRNA splicing defects to neural crest cell pathologies 🧑‍🤝‍🧑@CaloLabMIT @EliezerCalo @k_u_ludwig cell.com/ajhg/abstract/…

@Richard_She Congrats Richard! So cool to read about the whole project now after you told me a few things about it last week! Love the Jane Goodall homage!

So delighted that our paper, which uses comparative CRISPR screening to identify species differences in human and chimpanzee stem cells, is being published today!

So glad @muddycharlespub is back! Next time I will remember it is cash only...

@LCaccianini Oh, so sweet! Something similar happened to me in a parking garage in Cologne. I needed to pay my 10€ ticket but only had 5€ cash. The machine didn’t take credit cards and I had forgotten the PIN for my German Debit card. A guy nearby heard me curse and just gave me 10€.
