First mountain trail walk in a while. I love the land contours at a higher elevation and the ephemeral beauty of clouds rolling in. #Asheville

At our recent Translational Medicine symposium, Emma Armstrong, a student in my lab, won a best poster award. So excited for her and the progress we're making in identifying how oncogenic drivers suppress the immune system and evade detection in tumors.

Photo of student presenting a poster of her project that focuses on elucidating how novel drivers of immune suppression promote tumor progression. Participants are gathered to hear about the advances she's made. This was part of an annual Translational Medicine symposium held on the UNC Chapel Hill campus.

My student, Grace Stroman, was selected to present at the 9th Chromatin and Epigenetics Symposium. Her presentation was exceptional! Our keynote speaker @grewalsh.bsky.social was brilliant! Thanks to the organizers, @unclineberger.bsky.social, and @brianstrahl.bsky.social for a remarkable meeting!

Photo of Grace Stroman at podium prior to her presentation at UNC Chapel Hill. Her presentation focused on novel roles of MeCP2, DNA methylation reader which is a potent regulator of development. MeCP2 is most known for its cause of Rett Syndrome when mutated, but Grace is presenting some of the lab’s latest findings on the role of MeCP2 in cancer biology.

The gifts given by nature in the winter are often fleeting, and can be easily missed. I received a few today. #peace #gratitude #perspective #balance

While enjoying first trailwalk of the season. I couldn't help but to capture how the winter trees and vines provide companionship to the stream and its chilly water. #trailwalk #photography

Unpause! I'm super happy to now be able to share the published version of our paper at Science Advances showing that: 1) active histone mods occur independently of transcription 2) transcription coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

science.org

RNA polymerase II coordinates histone deacetylation at active promoters

Transcription initiation limits histone acetylation and H2AZ incorporation at promoters.
