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

Stood up for Science today in Boston with @TothovaLab ! Insane that we have to do this, but here we are. Science saves lives! Grateful to be surrounded by so many incredible people also willing to fight for science 🧬🤓💪

📣Life update📣!! This week I officially started as a postdoc in @TothovaLab at @DFCI_CancerBio !! So excited to be surrounded by so many amazing scientists performing cutting edge research 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬 Please share your postdoc advice and of course any Boston Recs!! 🤓

Having serious FOMO during #ASH24 But definitely check out what will surely be an amazing workshop on Friday. Featuring @Gritsman_lab presenting on some exciting updates from my project on exploiting a resistance mechanism to target AML!

Overwhelmed by all of the exciting advancements surrounding chromatin modifiers in AML? Do you find it hard to keep track of all the new menin inhibitors? Well good news, we’ve just published the perfect review for you in @StemCellsTM academic.oup.com/stcltm/advance… @Gritsman_lab

Got to wear a baggy gown and walk across the Lincoln Center stage this week to get a piece of paper! Thank you to everyone who made this possible!! Honored to be the guinea pig for Kira’s hooding skills (she crushed it) thank you mentors @Gritsman_lab and @Amitvermamds !!

So so happy to be here to celebrate the 10-year LABiversary of the the gritsman lab!! A decade of incredible science and mentorship. Thank you for everything @Gritsman_lab and here’s to many more decades of great science, discoveries, funding, and FUN! 🤓🧬🔬👩‍🔬

Thank you for EVERYTHING Kira!!! 🥰🤓🥂

Thank you so much to everyone who came to support me for my thesis defense on Friday, and thank you to everyone who made it possible to reach this milestone!! Could not have asked for a better thesis mentor than @Gritsman_lab !! Cheers 🥂 - DOCTOR Shira G-S 🤓

So excited to visit the west coast for the first time for #ASH2023 !! Looking forward to Therapy Resistance workshop this afternoon led by @dstarczynowski and @glytsou to kick off an excellent weekend of science, networking, career development, and fun!

So much fun closing out #ISEH2023 with new friends and old!!! This community is truly the best!! Can’t wait to see y’all again in Chicago next year 🥳 @ISEHSociety @Einstein_SCI

Really nice to hear so much from another EZH2 fan 😍 beautiful work, and congrats on winning the oral poster presentation!! Well deserved!! @Ammarilys

A fantastic talk in this mornings HSC biology session by my wonderful mentor @Gritsman_lab !! If you enjoyed it be sure to check out my poster this afternoon 😉 (# 3068) #ISEH2023

So grateful for the opportunity to share our work at this meeting!! I now understand why everyone says this is their favorite conference 😍 #HMCSRC #FASEBHM2023

Women in Hematology Networking Dinner was inspirational and fun! Feeling extra lucky to be surrounded by so many strong women in science at @Einstein_SCI #ASH22 @mfeliz1 @k_akinnola @Gritsman_lab @Bowmaniacs_Lab

Hey science Twitter, anyone good with western blots who can tell me what went wrong here? This is the gel post transfer… I promise I didn’t accidentally switch my coffee and the transfer buffer 😭
