Assistant Professor at Emory University studying cancer genomics and RNA biology
Excited to start as Assistant Professor at Emory University School of Medicine and looking forward to more RNA biology research in prostate cancer and beyond. Open positions for postdocs/specialists, let me know if you or someone you know are interested!
How did humans develop unique traits despite sharing nearly identical genomes with other primates like chimpanzees? Together with Han Yang (@HanYang_Henry), our new study on human accelerated regions (HARs) sheds light on this question @ nature.com/articles/s4158…. 1/12
Thrilled! Our study "An Atlas of Accessible Chromatin in Advanced Prostate Cancer.." is now online @CR_AACR Thank you @felixfengmd @David_A_Quigley @MatLupien for amazing mentorship & @PCF_science, the Benioff Institute, @UCSFCancer for their support! doi.org/10.1158/0008-5…
Congratulations to the Feng Lab, and to @MengZhang_UCSF for leading this project! Each of you is a big part of the achievements of the lab and of your colleagues - thank you for being a wonderful team. You're the best! nature.com/articles/s4155…
Check out our discovery of some new biology in advanced prostate cancer! Thank you @felixfengmd @David_A_Quigley and @ChrisMaher_Lab for amazing mentorship and the whole team for making this work possible!
📢Latest @NatureCellBio:"Integrative analysis of ultra-deep RNA-seq reveals alternative promoter usage as a mechanism of activating oncogenic programmes during #prostatecancer progression" by @MengZhang_UCSF @ChrisMaher_Lab, Feng, @David_A_Quigley & co. nature.com/articles/s4155…
So proud and honored to be part of this great work!
Very happy to share our latest work using 5hmC-seq to study prostate cancer. Huge thanks to the entire team in this fantastic collaboration and especially to my mentors @felixfengmd @David_A_Quigley @ResearchWyatt and @PCF_Science for support! @CR_AACR aacrjournals.org/cancerres/arti…
