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.

So glad to be back at the enlightening NDLR conference #NDLR2024, listening to excellent science and catching up with colleagues in beautiful Adelaide, after a long gap punctuated by COVID and parenthood #leukaemia 🙌👏

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 – at North Castle, NY

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.

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

This work illuminates the roles of bromodomain family protein BRD9 in normal and malignant hematopoiesis. (1/n)
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
From one Ash to another...goodbye, for now, and so good to meet up again after 4 long years. While I'm saddened to say bye, I'm looking forward to heading home 🇦🇺 and handing a small momento of San Diego to my #1 fan 👶, keenly awaiting her dad's return #ASH23
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: bit.ly/4aeu1EG @ASH_hematology

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
Best part of being at #ASH2023 in San Diego is in catching up with friends and colleagues, and learn more about all the great work they're doing. Supporting fellow Aussies this evening 🇦🇺🦘

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

It was a pleasure to listen to Profs. Ugur Sahin and Ozlem Tureci talk last night about the journey that led them to founding #BioNTech, the behind-the-scenes response to #COVID19 and their vision for mRNA medicines in the future @UNSWMedicine @UNSW
Interested about the research done in my lab? See this cool Google Scholar #wordcloud
