Excited to co-chair at #SLAM24 in Florida the „Cell Model and Function Screening“. Lots of new concepts! @Zhu_Lab showing that we are all genomic mosaics with relevance to liver cancer! 😍😍😍
Min Zhu et al. show that somatic mutations in PKD1 (POLYCYSTIN1) are selected for in chronically damaged livers because they promote hepatocyte clone fitness without driving carcinogenesis. This shows that some somatic mutations are beneficial. (1/8) cell.com/cell-metabolism/abs…

Today I was told that I will be the first Guinean/Guinean-American to complete a combined MD-PhD in the USA
AND will be first to get into a neurosurgery residency in the US, as well
This is an honor & testament to the power of opportunities
Thankful for my family & mentors
in 2016, we all started our MSTP (MD-PhD) program together, now i'm glad to say we have all matched to our preferred specialties and institutions
I am super proud of each and every of my MSTP colleagues.
8 YEARS LATER!
WE have MADE IT!

Great to see CRI researcher @DrDrNatasha’s work highlighted as she & @Zhu_Lab continue to dig into causes of biliary atresia — a rare pediatric liver disease that affects ~1 in 12,000 U.S. infants. #womeninSTEM#relentlessdiscovery
Natasha Corbitt, M.D., a pediatric surgeon and researcher here at UTSW, is working to change the treatment of biliary atresia. Read how this rare pediatric disease causes problems for liver function. @childrensutswmed.org/medblog/biliary-…
Very proud of our very own MTSP student Giovanni Botten for a terrific presentation #ASH22 and the Minority Graduate Student abstract achievement award. Gio discovered new mechanisms on enhancer hijacking in leukemia biology. Congrats! @JianXuLab@CRI_UTSW@UTSWNews@UTSWmstp
Congrats to this exceptional group of NCI outstanding investigators, particularly Ralph DeBerardinis (@RJDLab). Ralph leads @CRI_UTSW efforts in cancer metabolism as well as improving the diagnosis and treatment of inborn errors of metabolism in children cancerletter.com/the-cancer-…
I am honored and thrilled to receive the @Vilcek Foundation Prize! This award recognizes my amazing team @CRI_UTSW & the invaluable support of my mentors, colleagues, friends, & collaborators @UTSW & beyond. Thank you, @Vilcek! #ImmigrantsInScience
