Last week Lijun Yao (an HSG student) became a PhD. We sincerely congratulate her and happy to see what she is going to achieve next!
Congrats to Yige, Nadya, Wagma, Nataly and Preet for telling the world about oncogenic processes in ccRCC in Nature Communications journal. Enjoy the read
Our lab had a blast at this party
Congrats to Yize, Siqi and Rita on CPTAC Cancer Cell paper. And congrats to Andre on his first birthday in our lab!
Yesterday Ding lab had a fun Holiday celebration. We visited Escape the Room St. Louis and had a blast trying to get out of tiny rooms! We will definitely be back! Sweet memories :)
Last Friday we had lab happy hour to celebrate some birthdays and reunite with Clara - a former Lab Technician who now has almost finished her medical school and now applying for residency.
WashU SenNet team had a blast at the first face to face SenNet meeting in Rockville near Washington, DC. Alla presented our center’s update and everybody learned a great deal about the science behind senescent cells.
Few people from our lab are at the GDAN conference proudly representing the Ding Lab! Thanks to Fernanda for a wonderful presentation.
We were invited to publish a research briefing summarizing the important findings from our recent publication in Nature Genetics (Cui Zhou, D., Jayasinghe, R.G., Chen, S. et al., Nat Genet (2022)). This summary facilitates the communication of our findings to a broader scientific community. Thanks to Nature Genetics for this opportunity!
Welcome our new open access Nature Genetics paper. Dr. Cui Zhou, Dr. Jayasinghe, Dr. Chen and others analyzed spatial heterogeneity of driver events in PDAC, traced transitional cell populations and identified microenvironment cooperation in untreated and chemo-resistant pancreatic cancer. Talented artist Jessica Johnson created a stunning candidate cover image. Too bad it was not selected! WashU news also talked about this high impact paper.
