Closing out the 2023-2024 WashU Medicine Department of Genetics Department Seminar Series with a big THANK YOU to all of our speakers for helping to make it a success! Our overall attendance was up this year. Here’s the trailer for viewing, one last time 👏:

Ushiki Lab is #hiring ! We are seeking a technician and a postdoctoral developmental biologist passionate about tooth injury repair and craniofacial birth defect studies. Join us to explore gene regulation and enhancers!🧬 #Postdocposition sdbonline.org/resource?Resou…

The 2024 CSH Asia meeting "Computational Biology of the Genome" is only 3 months away. An exciting lineup of speakers, short talks to be selected from abstracts, and fellowship/travel award for select trainees! Come & join us in the beautiful guarden city Suzhou! 🔥🔥🔥

Congratulations to our faculty member Yang Eric Li, PhD (Yang Eric Li) for being awarded the St. Baldrick's Foundation Scholar Grant! With this funding, Dr. Li will study a deadly childhood brain tumor. Learn more about his research.:bit.ly/3WAwOmW The Brain Tumor Center

Congrats to WashU Medicine’s David Pagliarini, PhD! Named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, he’ll receive approximately $11M in funding for research on mitochondrial functions and possible medical interventions for mitochondrial disorders. medicine.wustl.edu/news/pagliarin…

📢The Department of Genetics is recruiting investigators at all academic levels. Individuals with research programs in any area of genetics/genomics are encouraged to apply! Find deadline/requirement details here: genetics.wustl.edu/items/tenure-t… Please share!!!

Come join us at Washington University School of Medicine. A wonderful Department with Supportive Chair, collaborative and friendly colleagues, and great resources!!

After a successful faculty recruitment that brought in two stellar new Assistant Profs, we're not resting on our laurels: WashU Medicine Department of Genetics is hiring again. I'm on the search committee this year, and we're prepared to make a bunch of offers. Let me tell you why you should apply 1/6

Excited to dive into the molecular & cellular mechanisms of congenital #hydrocephalus w/ Monkol Lek, Andrés Moreno De Luca, MD, MBA, DABR, and the team WashU Medicine Department of Genetics

Epigenetic reactivation of transposable elements induces tumor-enriched antigens in glioblastoma but also some in proliferating nontumor cells Nature Genetics Ting Wang Albert H. Kim Nakul Shah Yonghao Liang nature.com/articles/s4158…

Our paper about TE's regulatory functions using ENCODE data has been published! nature.com/articles/s4146… Ting Wang Cedric🧬➰🧬Feschotte We confirmed TEs contributed 25% of regulatory elements in the human genome. We also investigated how different TEs contributed differently. /1

🧬🚨 Our study on novel antigens induced in glioblastoma upon treatment with epigenetic therapy is out!! This study was led by joshhjang with co-first-authors Yonghao Liang and Ju-Heon Maeng, and mentored by Ting Wang and Albert H. Kim. 5 Key Takeaways: 1/5 nature.com/articles/s4158…

My last PhD project on epigenetic-treatment-induced novel antigens in glioblastoma is out. It was a privilege to work with the co-first authors, joshhjang, Nakul Shah, and Yonghao Liang, and mentors, Albert H. Kim and Ting Wang. Please read for more: nature.com/articles/s4158….
