New paper alert! Our team published in @NatureComms
on MeiHMM - a hidden Markov model that identifies meiotic nondisjunction error types in chromosomal abnormalities, like Down Syndrome, without parental data! #ComputationalBiology @StJudeResearch

Kudos to @maud_maillard on her new paper in @jclinicalinvest! Our findings indicate NUDT5 is a key regulator of thiopurine metabolism, offering new insights into how cells strike the balance between de novo vs salvage purine synthesis.
28 Jul 2025
Thiopurines for the treatment of cancer or autoimmune disease are limited by their toxicity.
@MaudMaillard @Junjyang @StJudeResearch identify germline NUDT5 variants that affect thiopurine metabolism and cytotoxicity in children with ALL, having implications for individualized thiopurine therapy.

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research

Why is #ALL highly curable in #kids but carries a much worse prognosis in #adults?? Check out our new paper @JCO_ASCO describing genomics of age-related differences in ALL drug sensitivity @StJudeResearch @MDAndersonNews @UChicagoLeuk @NitinJainMD
6 Aug 2024
Researchers identified distinct molecular subtypes of B-ALL that occur in different age groups explaining why cure rates vary between children and adults. The study suggests treatments should be tailored based on underlying molecular groups beyond age.

By characterizing B-cells’ developmental stages, St. Jude scientists designed and tested a drug combination to effectively treat resistant B-cell leukemia and reduce side effects.

Amazing story of a Nigerian pharmacist who identified issues in her health center, went through the literature for solutions, discovered PGx on her own, joined @PGRN, identified mentors, obtained a grant, wrote a paper, and conducted a PGx study at her hospital to help her people
