PhD in Biological Sciences from City of Hope. RNA splicing, circular RNA, CRISPR Cas13, base and prime editing, and leukemogenesis. Thoughts are my own.

And that concludes my time @cityofhope.bsky.social! Many gratitude to IMGS and to my advisors Lili Wang @wanglabcityofhope.bsky.social and RJ Lin for their years of guidance and support! I’m off now to my adventure but what I learned here will stay with me forever!

Huge #ASHKudos to my graduate student @mikemfernandez.bsky.social who was honored with a Distinguished ASH award at #ASH24! He was interviewed by @ash-hematology.bsky.social on his work, which is on the role of SF3B1 mutation and LOY!

And that’s a wrap for #ASH24. It has been a wonderful experience, meeting with old and new colleagues, presenting my first ASH oral presentation, receiving a distinguished award courtesy of @ash-hematology.bsky.social, and seeing and learning all of the exciting science.

Leave it to the @oawlab.bsky.social to do something out of the box. Splicing factor mutation-associated neoantigens is an exciting field. #ASH24
