@ShilatifardLab
The goal of our laboratory is to define the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer pathogenesis and to identify potential targets for therapy.
Wonderful to celebrate @FundacionBBVA Prize in Medicine with Daniel Drucker, Joel Habener, Jens Juul Holst, and Svetlana Mojsov for their fundamental discovery of the molecular role of GLP1 and developing new treatments for diabetes and obesity. Behold the awesome power of…

Congratulations to Josiah Wong in Dr. Yue’s lab @yuefeng_1 for receiving an NCIF31 titled “The role of SUV39H1 in maintaining heterochromatin architecture and identity in Acute Myeloid Leukemia”. He just joined the BMG purple jacket club! Very proud of him and his scientific…
We are warmly welcoming Dr. David Lowe as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab! David recently completed his PhD in the Department of Genetics at @Harvard from the lab of Scott Kennedy with the highest recommendations from esteemed colleagues, including Fred Winston and Gary Ruvkun.…
Great group of undergraduate students from @NorthwesternU and throughout the United States spending the summer in our departmental labs, learning a great deal of biochemistry/molecular genetics and enjoying morning bagels together! @NUFeinbergMed @NU_BMG_SQE @ASBMB…
From doubt to discovery! Read about research from Dr. Bercin Cenik, @bkcenik and how her journey from early transcription studies in mice to groundbreaking epigenetic insights could reshape our understanding of gene regulation. @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed ionopticks.com/2025/07/01/fro…
Scientists at Northwestern are decoding the #epigenome to better understand gene expression and its role in #cancer and other diseases, with new drug #treatments on the horizon. spr.ly/60124gLg8
Congratulations to the Shilatifard lab undergrad technicians Izzy, Jona, and William graduating this weekend from Northwestern! Go Cats! @NorthwesternU @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed
Congratulations to Feng Yue, PhD, Director of @LurieCancer’s Center for Cancer #Genomics, on being inducted into the 2025 class of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering! news.feinberg.northwestern.edu/2025/06/09/yue… @yuefeng_1 @aimbe
Working very hard at CSHL Symposium on senescence and aging #CSH #aging @CSHL @cshlmeetings @NUFeinbergMed @NorthwesternU @NU_BMG_SQE
The @LurieCancer is great because of great leadership and superb colleagues! Thank you Leon for all you do in building and maintaining an “exceptional”cancer center. @NUFeinbergMed @LeonidasPlatan1 @NorthwesternMed @theNCI
The @LurieCancer (LCC) went thru competing renewal of NCI designation. For a 2nd time we got "exceptional" ranking. The NCI site visit team gave a "perfect exceptional" (equivalent to 10). LCC is one of few in the nation and the only one in IL to ever achieve exceptional status.
Feeling deeply grateful to my wonderful colleagues in the world’s greatest Chemistry department, @NUChemistry, for the incredibly kind celebration of my election to @theNASciences. Special thanks to our fantastic chair, Omar Farha, and all the amazing chemistry faculty. I'm…
