I had amazing fours years in the Dougherty lab, and I felt so grateful about being able to work with so many encouraging and talented people there. Wish you all the best and good luck with your scientific ventures🎉 I will miss you guys so much 😭
A year in the making! Today we crowned the champion of our DocOlympics™️ Ping Ping tournament. In the finale, we had Jiayang “I’m leaving for a real salary” @WikkyChen - Allen “he’s finally gone!” Yen faced off in what, according to Jiayang, was supposed to be a quick 2x 11-4 win

The second chapter of our journey exploring MYT1L’s functions is live on bioRxiv. We mapped MYT1L binding in vivo using CUT&RUN and defined a novel role of MYT1L in suppressing early neuronal development programs. @CarpeRibosomam @joeddougherty

Last but not least, @din0506 will be presenting our newly preprinted work on how sex, age, and cell-type impact the function of psychiatric-associated variants in vitro and in vivo . Stop by his poster #77, & check out the preprint:
