Really fortunate to continue this collaboration with @shenzhichen1999.bsky.social and @alex-stark.bsky.social while back in medical school and scratch the research itch. Still can't believe the model achieved 15/15 target tissues!

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

From synthetic sequence to mammalian tissue-specific activity?! 🤯 Loved contributing to this awesome collaboration with @shenzhichen1999.bsky.social, Vincent Loubiere, @alex-stark.bsky.social, @evgenykvon.bsky.social, @jmschreiber91.bsky.social. So many possibilities in this space!

A call to arms for research universities "We need to get up from under our desks and persuade our fellow citizens that the institutions that they have helped create with their tax dollars are incredibly precious and important."

The @NYTimes has done a fantastic job on explaining what the Trump administration’s savage cuts to biomedical research mean: cures that won’t happen. Please share this widely. This is a catastrophe. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/o...

Please RP. We are thrilled to announce that our lab’s first preprint is out! ”Whole-genome single-cell multimodal history tracing to reveal cell identity transition” We report HisTrac-seq, a multiomic single-cell molecular recording platform. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Sharing our newest study led by the incredibly talented @federicamosti.bsky.social investigating new molecular mechanisms of human brain development. We discover a human-specific enhancer HAR1984 that influences chromatin looping to promote cortical size and folding! www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Excited to see this published with additional data following our preprint a while back. Cool combination (in our biased view) of controlled TF expression and machine learning to decode chromatin sensitivity. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....

🚨 Our parent-of-origin study is out in Nature! 🧬 Maternal and paternal alleles can have distinct — even opposite — effects on human traits, revealing a hidden layer of genetic architecture that standard GWAS miss. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Highlights below!

Exactly 7 years (to the day) after packing my car up and leaving for California, I successfully defended my PhD in the the lab of @evgenykvon.bsky.social! Incredibly grateful to Evgeny, the lab, my family, and many more whose support made this possible

Enhancer adoption by an LTR retrotransposon generates viral-like particles, causing developmental limb phenotypes - Nature Genetics
Activation of an LTR retrotransposon inserted upstream of the Fgf8 gene produces viral-like particles in the mouse developing limb, triggering apoptosis and causing limb malformation. This phenotype c...
