#Cancer Researcher & Lab Head @UNSW Sydney. Working on #MDS & #leukemia. Also interested in #genomics & #epigenetics. Tweets/opinion are my own.
Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
Joined December 2008
I am absolutely delighted to be an inaugural recipient of the Breakthrough Fellowship from the Leukaemia Foundation @LeukaemiaAus and Tour de Cure @tourdecure_aus supporting my lab's research to develop more effective therapeutic options for #AML @UNSW @UNSWMedicine #bloodcancer
In our pursuit of groundbreaking innovations in blood cancer research, today we are thrilled to announce the Breakthrough Research Fellowships program, a beacon of hope for a brighter future. Read more: https://t.co/CZSCWynoWb 👈 #BreakthroughFellowships #BloodCancerResearch

Those who rest, rust ;) - iron metabolism licenses adult stem cell fate and drives aging. How? Have a look at the new work of Drs. Yun-Ruei Christine Kao and Jiahao Chen @The_Will_Lab @EinsteinMed @EinsteinCellBio @Einstein_SCI
Online Now! An iron rheostat controls hematopoietic stem cell fate https://t.co/dcL5Apew16

Academics about to clock off for the holiday season inundated with requests to review papers, grants, editorial work etc., it's OK to say "no" or "I can't do it now, but this is when I can do it". We're academics, not robots. Wishing all a peaceful holiday season #AcademicChatter

Finally out! We found that mRNAs are not uniformly distributed across the cytoplasm. mRNA architecture is the strongest determinant for localization. Subcytoplasmic location of translation controls protein output. https://t.co/CJW80etwG7

Horste et al. find that mRNA transcripts that encode non-membrane proteins are not evenly distributed across the cytoplasm. Instead, functionally related groups of transcripts are enriched in...

15 years since I signed up on a site that I barely understood the purpose of. How could one express oneself on a micro-blog limited to 140 characters? And why would anyone use it instead of blogger/wordpress/myspace? Ah, time...🤐🫡

Happy to share our most recent work. “BRD9 determines the cell fate of hematopoietic stem cells by regulating chromatin state” @NatureComms
https://t.co/PEvGC5XXeU This work illuminates the roles of bromodomain family protein BRD9 in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. (1/n)

Nature Communications - BRD9 is a core non-canonical BAF component. Here the authors show that BRD9 plays a pivotal role in regulating the disease-related cell fate of hematopoietic stem cells. Its...

Awesome work!
Thrilled to announce our paper @Nature, >10 yrs in the making! I led an amazing team to finally crack structures and mechanisms of LINE-1, with implications for cancer, autoimmunity, and other diseases. We made a video abstract with @visualscience narrated by my mentor @JefBoeke

Congratulations to Omar @AbdelWahablab for this thoroughly deserved accolade. And capping it in true style with an outstanding plenary talk from his group on Sunday 👏👏👏
Congratulations to physician-scientist Dr. Omar Abdel-Wahab, of @AbdelWahablab, for receiving the William Dameshek Prize at #ASH23. Learn more about Dr. Abdel-Wahab and the award here: https://t.co/x5evUwdqx2

Exciting times #AI & genomics, gene prediction field, great collab with @stark_lab. Using transfer deep learning to make completely synthetic enhancers with predicted activity (tissue and stage in embryos). Check out the back-to-back complementary lovely paper from @steinaerts
Today, we - @stark_lab and @Eileen_Furlong lab (@EMBLheidelberg) - report the design of 40 synthetic enhancers for 5 tissue types in fruit fly embryos, in vivo. With only a few hundred enhancers per tissue for training, we adopt a stepping-stone transfer-learning approach: (5/N)

Coffee in an edible cup? Eating my way to a cleaner planet, plus hitting all five food groups for the day! Do they also serve 🍺 in these? 😜 #ASH23 #jetlagcure

What is the function of alternative splicing in the proteome? What cellular functions does it impact? Our review ( https://t.co/hP8YXju3B6) just published in @NatureSMB suggests splicing impacts almost every cellular process. Fantastic work by @kjer_peter! A short 🧵 below
