That’s a wrap for FASEB Aneuploidy 2026! Thanks to all the attendees for making it a special meeting. The science was so out-of-this-world that NASA even launched a spaceship for us. 🚀 See you again in 2029!

The Ly Lab is recruiting two #postdocs to study intercellular DNA transfer. Join us to tackle fundamental questions at the intersection of genome instability, cell-cell communication, and cancer evolution. Please share! 🙏 Full posting: cri.utsw.edu/careers/

Proud milestone for our lab – Congrats to our first two graduate students, Lizz Maurais, PhD, and Justin Engel, PhD (@justeng95.bsky.social)! We also celebrated Lizz’s last day as she moves on to an exciting new adventure. Good luck Lizz!

Excited to share our latest paper! We found that large pieces of the human genome can transfer between cells upon direct contact, endowing recipient cells with heritable phenotypic changes. @cp-cell.bsky.social (1/7) www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Wishing farewell to the first member of our lab, Qing Hu, as she embarks on a new adventure in the Laboratory Genetics and Genomics fellowship program at UCLA. Good luck Qing!

Happy to share that our very own Justin Engel (@justeng95.bsky.social) received the 2025 Nominata Award, the highest honor for a graduate student at UT Southwestern. He also received the Kirkpatrick Prize, which is given to the student with the most meritorious NIH NRSA proposal. Congrats Justin! 🎉

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I am a cell biologist studying how cells maintain genome integrity and how defects in these mechanisms cause chromosomal alterations that fuel cancer genome evolution. I use social media as a platform to highlight our lab members and promote interesting science (our own and others!).
