Assistant professor at the Meyer Cancer Center at Weill Cornell Medicine. Interested in molecular plasticity of metastasis
Joined July 2009
Excited to share our more recent preprint, on the role of tRNA modifications in stress granule assembly and melanoma metastasis! Congratulations to Riley Hughes and thank you to all the amazing co-authors and collaborators!

6 years of work + Over 2 years in review + 1 extremely talented graduate student @LeonaNease + Amazing collaborators = One extremely cool new mechanism that regulates metastasis through modification of the selenocysteine tRNA! https://t.co/V5YMhZJV2J

Do you like development, regeneration, cancer? If so, come join us for a postdoc @Oxford. A love of #zebrafish helps, but we also like human #iPS cells. You can come and work on pretty much whatever you find interesting. Send me a message if interested.

Food for thought? 🤔
So @CaitlinPacific took a Twitter hiatus, and … well, I can’t possibly summarize this, so I’m just going to let her tell it:
