I had a great time at #MPS2026. This was my second meeting as a PI that I took my lab members to and I was so proud of their work! We got good feedback on our model and were inspired by the excellent work we saw presented.

We had a great time at #BMES2025. This was the first conference my lab attended together and I couldn't be more thrilled with their performance and the exciting work that we saw presented!

A paper in Nature reports whole-genome sequences for 490,640 participants from the UK Biobank and combines these data with phenotypic data to provide new insights into the relationship between human variation and sequence variation. go.nature.com/415CMhr 🧬 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows the variant call sets.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would: - Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale - Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

My institute posted a request for proposals to lead a group focused on occular research. It's a good opportunity for someone ready to transition to independence or someone looking for a postdoc with private funding. Added bonus: ou get to be my neighbor! career.bio.mx/call/2025-RD...

Skeletal muscle fibers have many nuclei and the nuclei are different from each other despite being inside the same cell. This excellent paper looks at specialized transcript profiles of the nuclei that maintain the neuromuscular junction. It's open access! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The long running effort to de-extinct wooly mammoths has given us the gift of wooly mice! By modifying 10 genes to match mammoth variants they made very cute very fluffy mice. Check out their preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Standing up for what is right comes with a personal cost, but gives us the world we want to live in. I am grateful for those who choose to do so across business, science, and government and hope that each of us can find the moral fiber to make similar choices when our time comes.

My lab is hiring! I have budget for a post-doc and a research assistant. We're bioprinting a 3D in vitro artery to model inflammation. If you wish you were bioprinting arteries with me in New Haven, CT, reach out! I'd be particularly excited if you have immunology experience!

This paper came out of the Rossi lab. You will probably like it if you like: 1) fibroblast subtypes 2) T cell maturation 3) all the sequencing (CITE, ATAC, spatial) and 4) understudied sexually dimorphic traits. www.cell.com/developmenta...
