My lab is looking for a postdoc to take the lead in our efforts to understand how hepatobiliary lineage programs and growth signals in the developing liver promote tumorigenesis. Please share and reach out if interested - cincinnatichildrens.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/careersatcin...

This is a brilliant piece, with much to tell us about society, science, the shifting meaning of race, and so much more--well worth a read 🧪

Hello can you add me? Thanks!

Hello can I be added? I work on pediatric liver tumor organoids & normal hepatobiliary counterparts

My graduate advisor was one of the second round of Pioneers in 2005, around when I was deciding to join her lab - interesting back story I didn’t know.

A developmental biliary lineage program cooperates with Wnt activation to promote cell proliferation in hepatoblastoma - Nature Communications Epigenetic causes of intra-tumoural heterogeneity are crucial in paediatric cancers with low mutation rates, such as hepatoblastoma. Here, the authors characterise transcriptional heterogeneity in hep...

Happy to be here & share our work on hepatoblastoma - using transcriptomics and patient-derived tumoroids to identify embryonic biliary transcription factor SOX4 as a modifier of Wnt activation & proliferation - published today in #NatComms @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
