- Very honored to join the fellowship of my scientific and cultural heroes! All credit to my students and mentors.
- Delighted to be honored by the King Faisal Prize. I am deeply grateful for all my mentors, collaborators, supporters, and especially lab members former and present. tinyurl.com/yssd6u8b
- Delighted to share our new paper @MolecularCell, discovering circular RNA translation start elements. Congrats to first author Chun-Kan Chen, with @WeingartenShira, @segal_eran, @SnyderShot , @JswLab,@PeterKJackson, and more. tinyurl.com/4hfaveyw
- X chromosome silencing by viral mimicry! Xist lncRNA pretends to be a virus to get the female cell to shut down the second X chromosome. Great work by Ava Carter, Jin Xu @stanfordmed and with Wuttke lab @CUBIOCHEM1.The latest research from HHMI Investigator @HowardYChang and colleagues is an important step towards understanding how female cells carry out dosage compensation in mammals. bit.ly/2Yi4nL9
- Delighted to share this work with @WJGreenleaf and @10xGenomics Massively parallel single-cell chromatin landscapes of human immune cell development and intratumoral T cell exhaustion
- Clonal replacement of cancer fighting T cells by checkpoint blockade. Delighted to share our latest paper. Great team work with Katie Yost, @Satpathology, Dr. Anne Chang, and @parkerici!After anti-PD-1 therapy in basal or squamous cell carcinoma patients, the CD8+ T cell response largely consists of an expanded and exhausted repertoire of new #Tcell clones | go.nature.com/2Onv7bi #ImmunoTherapy @HowardYChang
- Excited to share our preprint on BABEL, a computational method to translate and synthesize multiomic profiles in single cells. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Wonderful work by grad student Kevin Wu and with @james_y_zou.
- Celebrating this special honor with all of my mentors, lab members, and supporters who made it possible.@HowardYChang of @StanfordMed earns 2018 @theNASciences Award in Molecular Biology for work on long noncoding RNAs! #MolecularBiology #epigenetics nasonline.org/programs/award…
- Single-cell lineage tracing by endogenous mutations enriched in transposase accessible mitochondrial DNA doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…. Delighted that our work with the Majeti lab is published!
