@taralynn_mack, @AlexBickMDPhD, and I are excited to share our new paper in @Haematologica, “Germline genetics, disease, and exposure to medication influence longitudinal dynamics of clonal hematopoiesis” doi.org/10.3324/haemat… 1/n
Bick Lab skaryotype results came back just in time for Halloween! @AlexBickMDPhD
We are excited to share our new preprint “Variance quantitative trait loci reveal gene-gene interactions which alter blood traits”! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…. Thread below 🧵 1/n
Congratulations Dr. @taralynn_mack on a spectacular PhD defense! Your science, mentorship and leadership in the lab and across campus is an inspiration. It has been such a privilege to learn together the past 3 years. @VUMCgenetics @VUBasicSciences @VUmedicine @VUMCDiscoveries
Taralynn Mack, PhD!!! I feel so incredibly lucky to have had the privilege of being @AlexBickMDPhD ‘s first grad student and to be a part of the special community that is @VUMCgenetics. Deeply grateful to my lab, my committee, and this community who make science so rewarding!
Can't wait for our lab's first PhD student @taralynn_mack's dissertation defense next Friday! Many thanks to Tara's committee: @MelindaAldrich @JaneFFerguson @JDMosley_Moses @FerrellLabVUMC @VUMCgenetics @VUBasicSciences
Out in @NatureAging today, @taralynn_mack & @MichaelR21 identify epigenetic and proteomic signatures associated with #CHIP clonal expansion nature.com/articles/s4358…
We are excited to share our paper in print today in @NatureComms! Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4146…. Grateful to co-first-author @taralynn_mack, @AlexBickMDPhD, our many collaborators, and the @nih_nhlbi TOPMed participants.
Our preprint “Determinants of mosaic chromosomal alteration fitness” is out! @AlexBickMDPhD, @taralynn_mack, and I studied clonal expansion rate of mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) in the @nih_nhlbi TOPMed cohort. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/7
Delighted to share that @VUMCgenetics PhD student @taralynn_mack was awarded a @VU_Provost Pathbreaking Discovery Award, recognizing Tara's research excellence and contributions to our @VanderbiltU community!
