If you missed this, you missed a great talk and a real showcase of Tessa’s (many) talents!

Great advance, great paper, great lab!

A new Fesik, Coffey & Tansey labs study reveals useful probes to study the implication of WDR5 inhibition in cancers and to serve as a potential starting point toward the discovery of anti-WDR5 therapeutics. bit.ly/2rTiSJa Tansey Lab ACS Publications VUMC Research

Audra Foshage Bryan will be a grad student no more!

The Tansey Lab lab graduate student will be defending her dissertation on Friday, so before you all leave for the holidays, come support her 12/20 at 2:30pm in 3131 MRBIII.

Can MYC be targeted to treat cancer? Read the paper and tell me what you think!

We turn the dial on the Wayback Machine to 1905 for this Vanderbilt history lesson of a 'prominent black university' that was once located on Peabody campus. Read all about it: bit.ly/2qOjXBp #HBCUs

Congratulations to the team for publishing on the validation of WDR5 as a therapeutic entry point for targeting MYC pnas.org/content/early/…

Full house here at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center for Steve Henikoff’s lecture. Exciting to see so much interest in chromatin biology here at Vandy. Thanks Tansey Lab and David Cortez for inviting him.

Hello! My name is Andrew Siladi (Andrew Siladi) and I’m a second year Cell & Developmental Biology PhD student in the Tansey lab (@TanseyTweets). As a molecular biologist, I study how genes are turned on in cancers driven by the protein MYC. Today I’m presenting data to our team

Mark your calendars, Steven Henikoff will be giving a seminar at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center next week!
