A great feature on our post-doc Khoa Tran, co-founder of JKX Comics in the Penn Gazette. Khoa describes his passion project of using comics to help with science education!

 

Cool write-up on our unique project with the Liberty  Science  Center on leaf cutter ants! Another great Berger  Lab collaboration led by Michael  Gilbert, Cristina Brady, and Balint Kacsoh!

Online today: our paper demonstrating Sirt1 is downregulated by autophagy in senescence and aging by Caiyue Xu and Lu Wang in @NatureCellBio. Exciting mechanism/potential strategy to promote productive aging.

Check out our latest work on epigenetic alterations in Alzheimer’s disease by Raffaella Nativio, out now in @NatureGenet. A fantastic, multi-omic, collaborative effort utilizing human tissues and fruit fly models @PennEpiInst @PennCDB@PennGenetics@PennBiology

Join us for our next symposium on Tuesday 10/6 for “Senescence and aging: chromatin gone awry” Chaired by @senergystic! Speakers Drs. Shelley Berger, Isabel Beerman, John Sedivy, and Alejandro Ocampo!
