State-dependent evolutionary models reveal modes of solid tumour growth, now published! nature.com/articles/s4155… Accompanying News & Views: nature.com/articles/s4155… Huge congrats to lead author @MayaLewinsohn! Check out her pre-print thread for key takeaways!
Excited to share the first preprint of my PhD with @trvrb, @nicfelm, and @AlisonFeder! We detect boundary-driven growth by analyzing patterns in tumor trees. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/13
Our paper on the evolution of structural variation at the amylase locus is out today in Nature! nature.com/articles/s4158… congrats to co-first authors @joanocha @NicolasLou10 @davidebolo93 @Raveancic & Alma Halgren, co-corresponding author @erikgarrison
Join us! The Machado Lab at @Cambridge_Uni is looking for an enthusiastic RA to be a core member of the team and lead the lab's data generation efforts, seeking to understand how tumour and immune cells co-evolve and contribute to cancer progression. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/47922/
Psyched for new computational first floor buds at @uwgenome 🤩

Genome Sciences is pleased to announce that Dr. Saori Sakaue and Dr. William DeWitt have accepted our offers to join the department as assistant professors! gs.washington.edu
Beyond thrilled to announce that I will be starting my research group at Genome Sciences at the University of Washington @UW next spring💫💫My dream place to do genetics & genomics, and such an exciting timing with a lot of new technologies and large-scale datasets emerging! (1/)

Thanks for this nice summary, @sociovirology! Was really fun to get to share awesome work led by @epidememeology, and in collab with @evokerr!
To round off the day, @AlisonFeder talking about dominant drug targeting in poliovirus infection #SocialViruses
Go @MayaLewinsohn & @AlisonFeder & all! "The Prize Committee awarded Honorable Mention to: State-dependent evolutionary models reveal modes of solid tumour growth, Maya A. Lewinsohn, Trevor Bedford, Nicola F. Müller & Alison F. Feder, Nature E&E (2023)." isemph.org/Omenn-Prize
Congratulations to Feder Lab undergraduate researcher Dylan Clark for being awarded the Thomas Sedlock Icon Scholarship! expd.uw.edu/scholarships/s…
#TeamMassSpec We're recruiting postdocs to work on new methods to map proteome remodeling due to chemical perturbations, aging, development, and more! If you're interested, see the job posting: ap.washington.edu/ahr/position-d… and some of the lab's projects: schweppelab.org/projects
Really excited to work with @oligopain and @Keribackus on this super exciting project! We are so thankful to the WM Keck Foundation for supporting this high risk, high reward idea!
Brian Beliveau and Devin Schweppe have received a WM Keck grant. This collaboration between the University of Washington and UCLA, will establish an entirely new approach to enable robust, scalable, and easily accessible methods for single-cell proteomics.
A new paper published in @MolBioEvol shows that "#HIV populations in people with higher viral loads also have higher rates of viral recombination" which "enables the exchange of genetic information across strains of the virus & drives HIV’s evolution." newswise.com/articles/incre…
