Excited to share our new work in Cancer Letters! We identify a HOX code–based framework to define lineage plasticity across cancers and uncover RUNX1T1–HDAC reprogramming as a conserved and targetable mechanism. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Unfortunately my R01 scored 7% will not get funded. 😭Due to the new rule to use at least half of the remaining FY25 budget for upfront payment for future, NCI R01 payline dropped to 4% last week.
