Deeply honored to be elected to the National Academy of Medicine and grateful for all of the kind notes I have been getting from colleagues! news.feinberg.northwestern.e… This recognition belongs to the extraordinary people who made this journey possible—my laboratory members, past and present, my colleagues at Northwestern, National Cancer Institute for funding my work for the past thirty-plus years, the visionary philanthropists who believed in our science, and my wife and our four children, whose love, patience, and unwavering support have made everything possible. Science is a team endeavor, and I feel enormously fortunate and grateful. I truly am one of the luckiest people alive. @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @NorthwesternMed @theNASciences @theNAMedicine @NIH @theNCI

For 15+ years, our work has shown that histone-modifying enzymes do more than just their catalytic jobs. They also have important non-catalytic roles. Dr. Zibo Zhao just published a great review on COMPASS family enhancer monomethylases and discusses how their loss creates new druggable vulnerabilities. nature.com/articles/s41568-0… Her findings are now in the clinic for treatment of cancers bearing MLL3/4-COMPASS mutations Fingers crossed! @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @theNASciences @theNAMedicine @CellPressNews @ScienceMagazine @Nature @NatureCancer @MolecularCell @zhao_zibo

Read about some of our faculty’s effort at Northwestern Medicine Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics in developing targeted therapeutics towards human disease! @NUFeinbergMed @NU_BMG_SQE magazine.nm.org/2025/02/26/d…

Have you ever wondered why we have testis specific genes & what happens if their mechanism of silencing is misregulated in other cell types. Well, superb study by Bin Zhang in collaboration with @LuWangLab showed that such ectopic expression can drive cancer & can be targeted for therapeutics science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… @NUFeinbergMed @ScienceMagazine @ScienceAdvances @AACR @NU_BMG_SQE

A wonderful Shilatifard's lab reunion dinner at @KeystoneSymp on Epigenetics and Cancer in Santa Fe! We missed our current and former colleagues whom were not at the meeting @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @il_Piunti @ShimaaH_Soliman @bkcenik @LuWangLab @b_monz2 #KSCancerEpi24

Happy to share Dr. Zibo Zhao’s @zhao_zibo fantastic work in @jclinicalinvest demonstrating a link between epigenetics & metabolism for cancer therapy! This was a superb collaboration w/ Drs. Cao, Hashizume, Chandel and @bensahralab jci.org/articles/view/169993 youtu.be/lxF0J4fDWiA
