Associate Professor of #Bioengineering @UCMerced
Joined February 2020
Special call out to my previous PhD student Dr. Negar Tehrani and current PhD student @BurnsBioImaging who worked together to lay some key groundwork for this grant. Team effort!
A $3.5 million, five-year grant will fund bioengineering Professor Joel Spencer's lab, which is investigating the thymus, a key organ in the human immune system that could help cancer patients and others live longer, healthier lives. đź”— https://t.co/1XBeTfO1sz

Scientists have discovered a molecular switch - a protein called FLI-1 - which “wakes up” dormant blood stem cells, making them more likely to survive and function after transplantation. A discovery which could offer new hope to blood cancer patients. 🧡 https://t.co/6TTJKZWRQ8

A single molecular switch is essential for blood stem cells to enter an activated, regenerative state in which they produce new blood cells, according to a preclinical study led by Weill Cornell...

As I contemplate this milestone, many many names and faces come to mind that have contributed over the years to us getting here today. Many have taken risks on me, supported me, walked alongside me, mentored me, labored with me, etc. I am so so grateful! I know it took a village!

It’s been sad to see how he was treated after that movie came out and I’m sad to see he’s had some hard things to deal with in his life since. I hope he and his family and friends are given compassion and care in this time.
@sw_tweets Jake was such a delightful and mature kid! I had the pleasure of coaching him for a week or two at a soccer camp the summer before the movie came out. He was the most talkative 10 year old ever! And was just very kind and respectful and a pleasure to have around.
