So excited to be at #tgs2026! Can't wait to hear the talks today, especially about WNK1 in GBM 😍
I'm so honored and thrilled to be awarded an R01 from the @theNCI at @NIH to continue my work on WNK1 signaling in glioblastoma! This is my favorite kind of science, and I'm so excited to get started.

Thrilled that @emulkearns just received her own @theNCI R01 on #GBM signaling! Can’t wait to see the new studies coming out of this project. @caseccc @CCLRI
I am so honored to receive a @bikeVeloSano Pilot Grant in support of my research on glioblastoma! Velosano's mission is to advance groundbreaking cancer research from laboratory discoveries to life-saving treatments, and I am grateful to be a part of this community.
Huge thanks to @caseccc for supporting this project! Time to get to work!
What a perfect depiction of Jon. He could walk in to a seminar 20 min late and ask a GOOD question within the first min. – at Richmond Heights, OH
“The division has really kept its core values and Jon was really integral to that as both director and as a colleague.” – @SueBiggins

A great night celebrating the holiday season with great colleagues at our annual holiday party @JusinLathia @OConnorVirusLab @emulkearns @AymGaboriau @cell_explorer
Mini poster is up! Stop by and let @JustinLathia tell you all about WNK1 if you are at #SNO2024
Super excited to present posters (TMIC-49 and CSIG-16) at #SNO2024 - exciting stories on @biorxivpreprint led by @emulkearns @KristenKay - looking forward to great discussions this evening!
Yay congratulations @EllenHong7!
My first @NIH grant proposal as PI is funded, via the R03 small grant mechanism! I'm grateful to the reviewers for recognizing the value in my project, and huge thanks to my forever mentor @JustinLathia - with his training, I can just sit down and write an NIH grant application.
Check out the data so far for this project on bioRxiv!

Such a cool story!

I remember well asking for "topio" cells as a roton. No one knew what I was talking about - finally figured out it was "Top10". I did actually have good notes!
Thanks to @DrSilviaPenuela and @JamieSmythLab for such a great meeting! Hope to see everyone in Italy in 2026! #igjc2024 #igjc2026

I love that all us Millennials were told by our Boomer parents that we’d get more conservative as we aged and here we are in our 30s/40s and all liberal AF.
So excited to talk about my brand new preprint on #biorxiv at @igjc2024! We've identified new ways that Cx43 functions in glioblastoma. #glioblastoma #connexin
