We are happy to announce that Sugandha Roy joined our lab. Wishing you a very fulfilling PhD journey.
We are matching in earthy color palette today!
On Aug 1st we had a lovely lunch to celebrate a bittersweet moment of Wagma leaving the lab after completing her PhD. And then Josh Stuart from the UCSC, a long term collaborator and a friend from the TCGA times, visited our lab.
We did it! Yay! Congratulations to us!
After what seemed to be the longest revision ever, our mouse kidney multi-omic characterization is published in Nature Genetics! Congrats to Siqi (former PostDoc), Simon and Ruiyang (former grad student) for this achievement.
We are pleased to see that our recent germline CPTAC Cell paper is getting noticed across the globe! Here are some of the news and reports on our paper.

Our group published a proteogenomic germline study in Cell in collaboration with CPTAC consortium. Congratulations to Fernanda Martins Rodrigues and other co-authors for this tremendous effort! WashU has also published a report about this publication. Read it here.
On February 28th, Julia successfully defended her PhD! Congratulations! We are excited to see what other projects await you in the future.
EJ gave a wonderful presentation on our progress at the GDAN meeting in Houston, Texas.
