Had a great time at the Senescence & Aging Symposium at @CSHL! Honored to share our work and discuss its relevance to aging research. A highlight was my interview with Jan A. Witkowski on gene expression and its link to aging and senescence.

The @LurieCancer is great because of great leadership and superb colleagues! Thank you Leon for all you do in building and maintaining an “exceptional”cancer center. @NUFeinbergMed @LeonidasPlatan1 @NorthwesternMed @theNCI.
The @LurieCancer (LCC) went thru competing renewal of NCI designation. For a 2nd time we got "exceptional" ranking. The NCI site visit team gave a "perfect exceptional" (equivalent to 10). LCC is one of few in the nation and the only one in IL to ever achieve exceptional status.
