For about 2 months, we hosted the first ever summer Ding Lab URJC, which covered a broad range of topics in cancer research. As the end of summer is fast-approaching, we celebrated with a sushi outing in the CWE. We’ll miss you all!
We attended the HTAN meeting in Boston hosted by the Broad. We went through rainy evenings, flight delays, lobster sandwiches, and intense imaging and single cell technology discussions. Li gave a talk representing the Wash U HTAN effort. Punch that Cancer!
Yige passed her QE and we had a (proportionally-sized) cake to celebrate! Congratulations Yige!
Starting this Fall, four of our lab members are moving on to the next step in their careers. Lan will pursue a PhD in bioinformatics and integrative genomics at Harvard, Clara will go to medical school at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Alla will pursue a PhD in biomedical engineering at Wash U, and Erik will pursue a PhD in computational and systems biology at Wash U. Congratulations and good luck Lan, Clara, Erik, and Alla!
Dr. Bryan Welm from the University of Utah visited Wash U to give a fantastic talk on organoid research and precision medicine. He is Matt Bailey’s boss!
We watched another Cards win at the annual Siteman Cancer Center baseball game. Not only did the team win and scored several home runs, but many of us showed up in the big screen! Yize was particularly excited. May 6, 2019
