What happens in the #tumormicroenvironment during chemotherapy in #ovariancancer ? Check out our new preprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

'It takes eight years on average to receive an endometriosis diagnosis'.

CEO of Endometriosis UK Emma Cox explains how women can be diagnosed with and treated for the condition.

Our latest out today in nature. We profiled 12 million single cells from mouse embryos spanning gastrulation to birth, defined cell type tree from zygote to birth, and unexpectedly found crazy fast changes within first hour of extrauterine life. OA PDF: rdcu.be/dyDAg

A meeting worthy of a tweet! A room packed full of people here to talk about #ovariancancer #risk #epidemiology #genetics #survival

Very happy to see our last paper of 2023 is out:
The loci of many genes with redundant function (including paralogs) are in close proximity in 3D #Chromatin_loops . We show that such gene-gene loops often involve genes that cross-regulate each other’s expression.

Did you know?

If a patient goes into the hospital and is diagnosed with a twisted and dying ovary (ovarian torsion) there is no surgical billing code for the procedure to untwist it?

But there sure is for testicular torsion.

Exciting to be in the audience hearing ⁦Jill Biden⁩ and ⁦Maria Shriver⁩ talk about the new initiative for #womenshealth #research #THANKYOU

This promises to be a game changer for #endometriosis - one of the most underfunded diseases even though it impacts 10% of women

Delighted to share our publication in @nature, where we uncover the mechanisms regulating skin cancer formation in living animals. Congratulations to Nordin Bansaccal, the first author, who put all his passion into making this project a great success nature.com/articles/s4158…

I'm thrilled to announce world-renowned women’s health researcher, Dr. Carolyn Mazure, as the chair of the first-ever White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research.

Alongside the Gender Policy Council, she will lead our effort to improve the health and lives of women across…

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

🙏🏼 Dr. Biden

We can do so much more for #womenshealth thru commitments to research & innovation!!

New prostate cancer PRS identifies 20% (European) and 16% (African American) men at >2x risk. These men hit the same risk as an 85 year old at age 69 and 66 respectively. [Wang et al. NG, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37945903/]

Fantastic study published in Nature Metabolism from Lengyel Lab highlights the importance of crosstalk between adipocytes and cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment. Congrats @Abir_Mukherjee Ernst Lengyel et al #ovariancancer #gynsm UChicagoCancerCenter ow.ly/tt5950Q5xAa

New from my lab: we discovered that tumors from Black cancer patients exhibit an increased frequency of whole-genome duplication events, and we found that these alterations may contribute to racial differences in patient outcome.

Enormous thanks to The View for its desire to help shine a light on #endometriosis by inviting Director Shannon Cohn and Executive Producer Hillary Clinton on the show to discuss the issue and the film. We are so grateful for the opportunity.
