Excited to share our first preprint from the lab! We developed an image-based pooled screen to uncover regulators of HP1 condensates and discovered a link with intronic RNA and RNA processing. shttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.21.676939v1

Back home traveling after a month to Bay Area realities. $600 3hr/day class for 11 yr old F1 that he was super excited about it for a big project. Arrived first day: oh class is canceled. Did you email me? We emailed the student, maybe in spam. Did you refund ? No. Nice moves.
