Amazing moment to share with my Mom! Amazing woman, advocate, survivor and person! Thrilled to co-lead our @FoxChaseCancer team @LUNGFORCE walk on Saturday at the Philadelphia Zoo. A proud son, Cancer Researcher, & Director @CeiFccc - it is an honor! cbsnews.com/philadelphia/v…
Exciting & Rewarding to see a former trainee talk about their own lab's cool & novel discoveries! Amazing talk @VanRechemLab at #DNAmethylation @GordonConf #Histones #Epigenetics #Therapeutics. We need to keep fostering the next generation of scientist! So rewarding!!! @CeiFccc
It's that time of year - roll call for all new #cancer PIs who just started or who are about to start their labs! Please say hi and what you work on so I can follow you if I don't already! 😃 #NewPI
Amazing talk by #PeterJones on #DNAmethylation @GordonConf #Histones #Epigenetics #Therapeutics. The last key point- We as scientist & societies should be excited & proud as #Discovery & #Research make a difference. Highlighted in @TheEconomist. #WinningtheWaronCancer @CeiFccc
📣 Calling All Trainees in Epigenetics & Chromatin Biology! Join the C. David Allis Trainee Session at #Epi2025. Submit your abstract by August 8th & join us Nov 2–7, 2025 in Cancún! 🔗 epicypher.com/resources/epic…
Congrats, Sanjee! A nice recognition of a @CeiFccc @FoxChaseCancer faculty!
Important review issue honoring an amazing scientist & mentor Dr. Allis by discussing key topics impacted by epigenetics @jbiolchem. Congrats to Chloe @CeiFccc @FoxChaseCancer @DrexelUniv graduate student on her review and review receiving the cover image! x.com/jbiolchem/stat…
C. David Allis was a visionary scientist whose contributions redefined our fundamental understanding of chromatin. To honor Dave’s legacy, we invited contributions from those who worked alongside him and/or were shaped by his vision and mentorship. jbc.org/thematic-endur…

A highlight is seeing a former trainee @VanRechemLab be a scientic leader. On Day 1 @GordonConf #Histones #Epigenetics #Development & #Disease I had great discussions about our presented studies & a great experience co-leading a session with @CarolineDeanLab.
Glad @CeiFccc @FoxChaseCancer is sponsoring high impact science & opportunities for faculty & trainees @GordonConf #Histones #Epigenetics #Development & #Disease. Thrilled to speak at the opening AM session about #ecDNA #Amplifications & #Rearrangements controlled by epigenetics.
🌞 Epi2025 Speaker Spotlights are back! 🌴 This week’s featured lineup heading to Cancún: ✨ Ernesto Guccione ✨ Jessica Downs ✨ Yael David ✨ Nicolas Young ✨ Erin Green Be there for the future of chromatin science! #Epi2025 #Epigenetics #SciComm #SpeakerSpotlight
At the 2025 Breakthrough Prize ceremony, Edward Norton celebrated not just the discoveries behind the prizes, but the people behind them. He reminded us why elevating scientific work and the people behind it matters more than ever.
Congratulations, Rebecca and @WilliamLautertD, on receivig this inaugural fellowship from @CeiFccc! foxchase.org/news/cancer-ep… @FoxChaseCancer @WhetstineLab @YuLiu_Sunny @CST_TempleU
Fox Chase is proud to present Dr. Andrea Califano with the Stanley P. Reimann Honor Award—the center’s highest distinction. Dr. Califano joins a list of 18 individuals who have received the award since 1974. Congratulations on this well-deserved honor: bit.ly/43YOxH3
Cool PR about Chloe's @jbiolchem comprehensive review about History of DNA #amplifications, #ecDNAs & #Discoveries illustrating how #Epigenetics controls them and #rearrangements Please share & read foxchase.org/news/review-pa… @CeiFccc @FoxChaseCancer @brkthroughprize @HHMINEWS
How did DNA amplification shape cancer research? Scientists at Fox Chase Cancer Center explore its evolution and impact in a new review paper. Read more from corresponding author on the review, Johnathan Whetstine, PhD, @CeiFccc @WhetstineLab: bit.ly/4jLi5hd
It was a privilege to be part of the Allis lab. Dave fostered an environment of rigor, curiosity, and kindness- his impact lives on in the many he mentored. Grateful to reconnect at Rockefeller with this extraordinary group. Thank you to the organizers for an inspiring symposium.
We’re happy to share our new study out today @NatureCellBio We show that a chromatin factor, ZNF280A, is required for DNA double strand break repair, linking its absence to clinical features in 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome. @MostoslavskyLab nature.com/articles/s4155…
We are excited to see our postdoc @tran_khoa paper out today in @MolecularCell! He finds that SIRT7 regulates NUCKS1 chromatin binding during senescence and aging! cell.com/molecular-cell…
