Our lab was once again at the NIH campus in Bethesda for the Fall CPTAC 2019 meeting. Our work in GBM, spearheaded by Bobo, was a particular highlight this year. We also toured DC and had some amazing food on the way!
Oct. 8 was Sohini’s last day in lab. She was a CSB graduate student and then post-doc that was with us for more than 5 years. An avid fan of drinks, red shirts, and dancing, Sohini was often a source of chaos and fun in the lab. We’ll miss you Sohini! The poop lives on.
Sunantha got married on October 12 in Chicago! Some of us went to celebrate with her. We tossed rice at them for good luck, ate some pretty spicy indian food, and danced to bollywood hits all night! On the way back, some of us got really tired.
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!
