Check these amazing preprints from my PhD lab, @liaulab! Congrats to @applecannon23, Olivia, @clee_bio, @Palgosavi, @proteinnns and @brian_b_liau! Truly a tour de force of chemical biology!

Excited to share that our paper discovering drug addiction to PRC2 inhibitors is out at @nchembio! Congrats to my co-lead author, Hui Si Kwok, and the @liaulab PRC2 team including Allison Siegenfeld, Julia Morriss, @proteinnns, @StephenKissler and @brian_b_liau! We did it!
A new paper from @brian_b_liau, @AllyFreedy @liaulab profiled the resistance landscape to PRC2 inhibitors in EZH2-mutant lymphoma with CRISPR suppressor scanning revealing drug addiction mutations and a repressive methylation ceiling. Free to read link at rdcu.be/c8v1l

Check out my Tweet thread below on the preprint for a quick summary of the paper! xitter.cf/AllyFreedy/status/1511…
Epigenetic dysregulation is a cancer hallmark. Restoring the benign epigenetic state is effective therapeutically, but what about pushing tumors further into epigenetic dysregulation? Check out our preprint out @biorxiv from @liaulab to learn more! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thank you @SchreiberStuart! I would not have become the scientist I am today without your example, support and mentorship over all of these years. Thank you for opening the door to chemistry and chemical biology to me and so many other women scientists!
Physician–scientist in training Ally Freedy after receiving the second annual Award in Scientific Excellence at the 2022 Broad Retreat. In recognition of her discoveries chromatin biology and their potential for novel medicines. Bravo!

I want to share an inspiring teaching experience I had this semester. I had a privilege to teach biochemistry to Emily @PharmFatale who can’t see the structures like you and I can. At first I was skeptical cause I thought that chemistry is highly visual.

Congratulations to @nicklue8, @Emma_M_Garcia_1 and the the DNMT3A team @liaulab! Check out this paper for a tour de force in base editing tiling mutagenesis combined with an activity based reporter all followed up with rigorous cellular and biochemical validation!
Our paper on DNMT3A base editor scanning is out in @nchembio!! Check it out if you like DNA methylation, base editor screens, and protein biochemistry. Super thankful to my amazing PI (@brian_b_liau), labmates (@liaulab), and especially my teammate @Emma_M_Garcia_1.

Super excited to announce that we’ve just submitted the latest @liaulab ~manuscript~! Tldr: we used base editors + a methylation reporter to do a mutational scan of DNMT3A, a key cancer gene. Highlights below, but check out our preprint at @biorxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
