The cancellation of Harvard grants has put @FlyBaseDotOrg on life support. The Flybase grant is at Harvard and everything else is a subcontract. This community resource is absolutely essential! philanthropy.cam.ac.uk/give-to-cambri…
End of semester lab lunch. It feels like each semester goes by more quickly every year!
Huge congrats to talented undergraduate Cailyn Lee in the lab on her well-deserved award (Simon Chang scholarship) from @LSU_BioSci @lsuscience. She will start her masters in medical sciences at Tufts this fall and is applying for MD/PhD. So proud and excited for her!
Excellent presentations from our amazing undergraduate researchers, including my student Cailyn Lee, at #LSUDiscoverDay @lsu_our @LSUResearch.

Some good news for my lab @LSU_BioSci @lsu in this difficult time for science. I'm so grateful that our @NIH @NIDCR_NIH grant has been funded. Council meeting was canceled in Jan, but resumed privately(?) and decision was made recently.
So much fun at the last dinner of #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA with @WengFlyLab and @JosephCampanale and our trainees. It was such a great meeting!
Andrew lab reunion at #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA! So fun to catch up with old friends and meet new members of each lab!
Exciting science and networking at #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA in beautiful San Diego! Please check out the presentations from our lab on cell cycle control and the apical ECM during tubular irgan formation.
What an inspiring keynote seminar by Denise Montell @montell_denise at #Dros25 @GeneticsGSA. From pure basic science on Drosophila border cell migration to application in improving cancer immunotherapy
Our MCBP Biophysics PhD program still has a few PhD positions open... (see below)
Still accepting PhD applications to the Molecular and Cellular Biophysics Program at DU for the Fall 2025 -- contact Director Michelle Knowles for more information!
New lab preprint- wondering where polyploid cells might be hiding in your tissue of interest? Presenting iSPy- a machine learning approach! Collaboration between our group, @RoederLab , and @PauFormosa 's lab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Nearly 100 NIH study sections were canceled in the past month. Here is a list of the canceled meetings, compiled by Annika Barber at Rutgers Univ. As a result, the process of biomedical science funding has been halted in the United States. tinyurl.com/5auw74s4
