Successfully defended my PhD last week. Thankful to all my colleagues in the @HultquistLab and in @dgpnorthwestern as well to all my family and friends. The last 5 years were hard so we went harder!!!

A new discovery from the lab bit.ly/3U6yYcM by @ShimaaH_Soliman defines the CDK9-complex required for proper transcriptional response to hypoxia & uses of our elongation inhibitor iPAF1C to control hypoxic transcriptional elongation response @NUFeinbergMed @PNASNews

Excited to share the first project of my PhD in @BKleinstiver lab! Click editors are precise genome writers that offer cost-effective optimization - more from the amazing project leads @FerreiraSilvaJ & @connorjtou below

It was a pleasure to present a vignette of what I have been up to lately in @HultquistLab with @ShimaaH_Soliman @ShilatifardLab at #CSHLRetro! Looking forward to finishing out the week strong and learning more about the work the many talented scientists here are doing.
Happy to be a part of this significant collaboration between @HultquistLab and @ShilatifardLab @ShimaaH_Soliman!
Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a new compound that could inform future #HIV cure strategies, according to research published in @ScienceMagazine. spr.ly/601237AYy
Our manuscript in collaboration with @ShilatifardLab describing a small molecule inhibitor of PAF1C is officially out at @ScienceAdvances! Congratulations to @ShimaaH_Soliman for her hard work on leading this project.
Check it out: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
In the article, we show that knockdown of PAF1 releases paused RNA Pol II at transcription start sites across the genome as does treatment of cells with this inhibitor, named iPAF1C

Reminder from your friendly neighborhood immunology editor: FACS ≠ Flow Cytometry.

the most credible criticism of AI-driven drug discovery is that all techbio companies eventually become biotech companies, facing the same rate-limiting steps, and therefore many of the advertised advantages (accelerated timelines, lower development costs) hold less water
