Stem cell-like states confer poor outcomes in blood cancer—but what mechanisms drive this and how can they be therapeutically targeted? In our new preprint, we show how a single TF represses one enhancer to maintain a subset of high-risk leukemias: 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Joining the Voit Lab is the best decision you will ever make. Go work with Richard if you can!
Kids like KK motivate everything we do in the lab @utswcancer @CRI_UTSW @UTSW_PedsHemOnc. We are now hiring so if you are looking for the next step in your scientific journey or want to learn more about what we do, please reach out.
We at voitlab.org are grateful to @TexasCCF for supporting our work. Thank you also to @dallascowboys @dak, @Jalen8Tolbert, @tonyromo, @TroyAikman for using their platform to raise awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research. youtu.be/KZwX8Mf7n5I

A season to remember, and it's just our beginning. 🔱 #GoTritons
Predictomes, a classifier-curated database of AlphaFold-modeled protein-protein interactions dlvr.it/TJgZXl
Alessandro Donada sat down with @d_pastoors and @tjflemin for a deep dive on their latest AML biology preprints. Watch the #SimplyBlood 🩸 interview today simplyblood.org
In our tests, SPOC outperforms other commonly used metrics in prioritizing biologically relevant interactions in large scale AF-M screens. We used SPOC to score ~40,000 binary pairs across ~300 genome maintenance proteins. View all data and use SPOC on: predictomes.org
Very excited to share that my thesis work is out in Molecular Cell! We trained a Structure and Omics informed Classifier (SPOC) to score binary AlphaFold multimer (AF-M) predictions by structural quality and consistency with experimental omics datasets. cell.com/molecular-cell…
I am grateful to @DamonRunyon @StJude for supporting my work and to @bloodgenes for the mentorship🙏 Very excited to meet my peers / this year’s class at the upcoming meeting! damonrunyon.org/news/entries/8…
Incredibly proud of @LWahlster from our group, who received the 2025 @DamonRunyon-@StJude Pediatric Cancer Research Fellowship!!! Congratulations, Lara!!! damonrunyon.org/news/entries/8…
Excited to share my analysis of the Cancer Dependency Map! My goal was to systematically identify biomarker - dependency relationships in order to identify new anti-cancer targets and understand how to stratify patients to make those targets clinically useful.

I am grateful to be a part of this amazing group. Thank you to @ASH_hematology for supporting my research and career development! And to my mentor@bloodgenes and @DFBC_PedCare for training me🙏
#ASHKudos to the 2025 ASH Scholar Award recipients! This prestigious award supports early career investigators transitioning from training programs to careers as independent investigators. Learn more: ow.ly/40jK50ULgug #ASHAwards #MedTwitter @b_avalos_MD
Excited to share our preprint (@D_Pastoors): "MECOM is a master repressor of myeloid differentiation through dose control of CEBPA in acute myeloid leukemia"! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… MECOM is a TF whose overexpression leads to aggressive AML and with an immature phenotype. [1/15]
Wonderful to have this work led by @tjflemin along with other colleagues in our laboratory, as well as great collaborators, out on @biorxivpreprint! Stay tuned for exciting complementary work from @d_pastoors, @DelwelRuud, and co coming soon!
