Excited about this publication from star student Andrea Chaikovsky @stanfordcbio on the regulation of Cyclin D levels and the response to Cdk4/6 inhibitors. Close collaboration with many labs, including @LabWinslow, @PetrovADmitri, @cncurtis, @KroganLab... rdcu.be/ciGW3

NEW #ResearchHighlight! Research by the teams of Shao, Jaremko, Mazur @MazurLab & Gozani shows that NSD3, which encodes a histone H3 lysine 36 methyltransferase, is likely an important driver of a subset of lung squamous cell carcinomas. 📯 go.nature.com/3qMIgcJ @NatResCancer

New work from Or Gozani @MazurLab and co. finds that a mutated form of NSD3 results in increased H3K36 methylation and promotes lung cancer development. Also used EpiCypher's pAG-MNase for CUT&RUN assays and our nucleosomes for HMT experiments! #chromatin nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Scientists from @MDAndersonNews identify SETD5 as a major driver of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma resistance to MEK1/2 inhibition. Published in @Cancer_Cell: bit.ly/2Utug9v

Congratulations to @MazurLab and collaborators, including the Gozani lab, for their beautiful work on Setd5 and resistance to treatment in pancreatic cancer. Excited to finally publish with @Aiims1742! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
I'm pretty tired of hearing how we scientists are supposed to be so productive now. Anyone with kids, elderly parents, lab members to worry about, stranded masters students, etc is too stressed and busy to be thinking big thoughts.

Lots of good news, including in lung cancer in general, but still a flat survival for SCLC sadly
Excited to have @NCIDirector Ned Sharpless with us today. Looking forward to his talk, thanks @SCIDirector for inviting him!
