Happy to report the 2025/05 NIH Biochemical and Cellular Oncogenesis (BCO) study section meeting has been rescheduled for late April. Just FYI.
The 2025/05 NIH Biochemical and Cellular Oncogenesis (BCO) study section meeting that was supposed to happen tomorrow has been rescheduled to a later date, to be determined. Just FYI. This is so disheartening.

Happy to share our new collaboration paper in Cell Reports. We show that translation synthesis in cancer cells occurs predominantly behind the replication fork, to fill ssDNA gaps, rather than to restart stalled replication forks “on the fly”.
