We celebrated Di's last day in lab and in the US (for now...) with cake! Di was with us for 1 year, and will be going back to Shanghai to finish the PhD portion of her MD-PhD. Good luck, and we will miss you! November 21, 2018
Dr. Matthew Bailey valiantly defended his thesis titled “Somatic Variant Detection and Driver Gene Discovery Using TCGA”. We were glad he rearranged his busy conference call schedule to talk to us about his science! He wowed us with big data circos plots and sweetly shared the positive influence his family and community have had on his life. Bailey’s children now refer to him as Dr. Dad! October 3, 2018.
Congratulations to the Ding Lab’s most recent graduate: Dr. Sohini Sengupta! Her thesis was titled Protein Structure-Guided Approaches to Identify Functional Mutations in Cancer. Sohini’s brilliant example (both academic and non-academic) is an inspiration to all! September 13, 2018.
