- Isabella and I kicked off 2026 by welcoming Maggie into our lab for her rotation. We grabbed lunch at our favorite Indian restaurant on campus!
- Thank you Andrew Olander and Shaheen @ssikandar.bsky.social for inviting me to visit the MCD Biology Department at @ucsantacruz.bsky.social! I love the insightful comments at my talk and the engaging conversations throughout. Hopefully I can come back, and maybe even get to see a real banana slug!
- We celebrated our lab’s two grant submissions with a little dessert expedition to a culinary school at West Philly! It was so good :-) Special thanks to our lab neighbor Genova for the selfie!
- Our lab welcomed Isabella Cagno earlier this month. She hit the ground running, and we had a great time at the @upenn.bsky.social Cancer Biology annual retreat at beautiful Skytop, PA!
- Very happy to share our work at #AACR25! Thank you @theaacr.bsky.social and @bcrfcure.bsky.social for the travel award! It was fun to connect with colleagues @pennmedicine.bsky.social, @harvardmed.bsky.social, and beyond.
- Our lab has opened at the Cancer Biology Department and the Basser Center for BRCA @upenn.bsky.social! We study new mechanisms of hereditary cancers and their implications for sporadic cancers, building on my training with @labjacks.bsky.social and Joan Brugge. Join us! tinyurl.com/CarmanLiLabH...
