Vu Tran

Zoom seminar:
Drawing on recent mechanistic and genetic studies, Prof Andres Merits' talk will highlight how #alphavirus #replication complex function intersects with innate #immune sensing and restriction, offering fresh perspectives on virus–host co-evolution and antiviral targeting. All welcome!

We’re back with another season of monthly seminars bringing together diverse and leading investigators worldwide to share cutting-edge arbovirus science.
🧬 Topics span molecular virology, virus–vector interactions, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and more.
📅 3rd Thursday each month
🕚 11 AM US ET Zoom

We have two Cancer Biology graduate students defending their dissertations next week 🎉 Best wishes to Vu Tran (Bresnick lab) defending on July 21 and Stuart Fogarty (Kenney lab) defending on July 22!

Congratulations to Renee King, PhD (Lambert Lab) for being awarded a prestigious NIH Pathway to Independence Award! mcardle.wisc.edu/2025/07/01/r...

Best wishes to Cancer Biology graduate student Adeline Ding as she defends her dissertation this week!

Transcription factor networks disproportionately enrich for heritability of blood cell phenotypes Most phenotype-associated genetic variants map to noncoding regulatory regions of the human genome, but their mechanisms remain elusive in most cases. We developed a highly efficient strategy, Perturb...

Delighted to have our Perturb-multiome paper, led by #JorgeMartinRufino and @hemagene.bsky.social from our lab, published today in @science.org. Please check out this powerful approach to decipher gene regulatory networks enriched for genetic variation: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Targeting the CD74 signaling axis suppresses inflammation and rescues defective hematopoiesis in RUNX1-familial platelet disorder CD74 signaling drives inflammation and differentiation defects in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in RUNX1-familial platelet disorder.

Inflammation plays a key role in RUNX1-FPD pathogenesis. Dr. Anupriya Agarwal & her team at @ohsunews.bsky.social found targeting CD74 signaling, mTOR & JAK1/2 pathways could prevent disease progression. Incredible work by an RRP-EdwardPEvansFdn FIRE grant recipient! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
