NissimLab.org seeks a postdoc for studies on #epigenetics, #PancreaticCancer. Transcription factor networks + epigenetic barriers maintain cell identity. How are these disrupted to promote cancer? Can we target these for interception? DM with interest! @DanaFarber_Hale

Fantastic science at #AACRpan26! Grateful for the enthusiasm and feedback on our work developing a PDAC interception strategy by targeting NR5A2. Thanks to our team as we work toward new options for high-risk individuals! @DanaFarber_Hale @AACR #PancreaticCancer

TY @Aiims1742! Thrilled to share our new @AGA_CMGH paper! Using FixNCut scRNA-seq, we uncover novel acinar metaplastic cell states and precancer programs in pancreas disease. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Led by the amazing @Aney_Katie and Woo-Jeong 👏🧵👇
New paper in @AGA_CMGH from @SaharNissim Novel Acinar Metaplastic States Uncovered in Exocrine Pancreas Disease sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Using FixNCut (which preserves RNA integrity in the pancreas), this study explores acinar plasticity & lineage state heterogeneity in PanINs.

So proud of @AneyKatie drawing a crowd at @AACR PDAC! Beautiful story in the works to understand how acinar identity unravels on the way to cancer.

To all the hard-working trainees out there... The 4 stages of conference attendance: 1. Nobody knows me, I know nobody 2. Nobody knows me, I know everybody 3. Everybody knows me, I know everybody 4. Everybody knows me, I know nobody Have fun & keep striving in the progression!
