Congratulations to @HarveyHippoLab and everyone involved in this outstanding work. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
We are excited to announce that The Myeloid Workshop is back on under ASH this year and will be held on Friday, Dec 5, from 3-7PM. ...👇
So excited to share a pre-print of my thesis work! Check it out to see how we can leverage an epigenetic resistance mechanism to PI3K inhibitors to target leukemic stem cells!! (Spoiler alert: PRC2 is involved!) Really proud of this work conducted with @Gritsman_lab

A wonderful perspective from the amazing Sarah-Maria Fendt - it was awesome for myself and @TheDawsonLab to have Sarah share her time & brilliant intellect with us for her sabbatical- I will always be grateful for the opportunity to host her 🙏🏿 rdcu.be/eusaF
Our Lab together with Amos Tanay lab has created the first reference model for HSPCs published in Nature Medicine yesterday. doi.org/10.1038/s41591… you can look at the data here (really nice tool) apps.tanaylab.com/MCV/blood_aging
Very greatful to be able to contribute some of our work to this great story highlighting KAT6/7 inhibition as a therapeutic strategy in MLL-dependent leukemias. Great teamwork with @MAF_Dawson @Armstrong_dfci and my lab @mhh_life.
Catalytic inhibition of KAT6/KAT7 enhances the efficacy and overcomes primary and acquired resistance to Menin inhibitors in MLL leukaemia - by @ShellainaGordon @florian_perner, @Armstrong_dfci, @MAF_Dawson @TheDawsonLab et al. doi.org/10.1158/2159-8… @PeterMacRes @DanaFarber
Super excited about clinically targeting KAT6/7 in AML
Now online in @CD_AACR: back-to-back studies from the labs of @MAF_Dawson, @Armstrong_dfci, and @CMullighan identifying the KAT6/7 histone acetyltransferases as therapeutic targets in AML:
Incredibly humbled & grateful to @ASH_hematology for the honour of the William Dameshek Prize. A recognition that belongs to the awesome scientists I have the privilege of working with every day in @TheDawsonLab @PeterMacRes @GenCancerCentre
ASH is proud to recognize 11 hematologists whose groundbreaking research and leadership have transformed the understanding and care of blood disorders. Congratulations to all! 👏 🔗 ow.ly/EsgX50WbEwx #Hematology #ASHAwards
Australia completely lacks a dedicated training program for clinician scientists. With the vision and support of VMIAL @PeterMacCC is extremely proud to announce the first clinician-scientist fellowship. If you meet the eligibility criteria PLEASE APPLY! nature.com/naturecareers/…
If you are invited to review abstracts for ASH2026 in a basic science category, please know that I reviewed these sections and pushed for you to do this work. PLEASE HELP ME OUT. We want to increase the quality and representation of basic science at ASH.

Congratulations Ari !!! Wonderful news!
We are pleased to announce that Dr Ari Melnick has been appointed new Director of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute. Dr Melnick will lead IJC in our mission to advance #research in #leukaemia and other malignant blood diseases. Read the full release here:…
We just wrapped up an exciting morning of science, with fantastic presentations from @SarahJ_Dawson, Ryan Notti, @markowetzlab, Margaret Shipp, @dhnisz, & @KivancBirsoy on topics ranging from chromosomal instability to metabolic regulation in cancer.
We are looking for a talented postdoctoral bioinformatician @TheDawsonLab to work with us on single cell multiomics incorporating lineage tracing and spatial technologies- we specifically want someone curious, fearless with a licence to innovate!! nature.com/naturecareers/…
Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
