Just in time for #HumpDay: Our study Targeting DCAF5 suppresses #SMARCB1-mutant #cancer via stabilizing SWI/SNF is online now in nature. Congratulations 🎉 to co-first authors Sandi-Radko-Juettner and Hong Yue and all co-authors on this story! 1/ nature.com/articles/s4158…

The Roberts Lab found a way to potentially turn back the clock on some cancer cells to offer a new treatment paradigm. Removing a 2nd protein from cancer cells already experiencing tumor suppressor loss may return those cells back to a more normal state. bit.ly/3ITapcT

If you put this as the prefix in your file names, I think we're automatically friends.

A first of it's kind, the 'Oncogene hyperactivation' conference highlighted an emerging paradigm in cancer research. Many thanks to Harold Varmus, René Bernards Bernards Laboratory@NKI, Kim Stegmaier Stegmaier Lab and Bill Sellers for bringing together this eclectic group!

It’s official! The Gardiner Lab is loading! Very excited to be joining Tufts Biology Department in September 2025 to study the intersection of viruses, ECM/fibroblast biology, and epigenetics!

Excited to share our new review in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery covering ongoing efforts to therapeutically target chromatin remodelers focusing on SWI/SNF complexes. Congratulations to authors Hayden Malone and Charlie! St. Jude Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences @stjuderesearch #swisnf (1/9) nature.com/articles/s4157…

Chromatin remodellers as therapeutic targets bit.ly/3S7moIL This review by Hayden Malone & Charles Roberts The Roberts Lab discusses progress in therapeutically targeting chromatin remodellers, with a focus on SWI/SNF complexes, which are often dysregulated in cancer

A fantastic update on drug development for SWI/SNF remodelers by Hayden Malone The Roberts Lab. Learn about SWI/SNF complexes, their role in disease, and how this work is influencing therapeutic strategies for cancer, infectious disease, and beyond. hubs.la/Q02H5nz50

I am so excited to share that I am starting this Fall as an Investigator at Lady Davis Institute and Assistant Professor at McGill McGill Gerald Bronfman Dept. of Oncology (GBDO)! I’ll be recruiting students and a research asssistant- Get in touch if you’re interested in chromatin and gene regulation! martinlab.ca

🚨 New Research Alert! 🚨 Excited to share our latest paper on PHF6's role in linking H3K14 acetylation, #SWISNF, and #RNApolymerase complexes. Now live in Nature Communications! 🎉 Big congrats to the first author, Dr. Priya Mittal, and all co-authors! 👏 nature.com/articles/s4146…

I’m excited to share that I’m starting a new position as a Yale School of Medicine Science Fellow in the Department of Genetics Yale Department of Genetics! I’ll be co-mentored by the Reinke and @Noonanlab Labs. Can’t wait to join the scientific community at Yale this Sept! YSM Science Fellows

no longer annoyed that I got stuck in the cell culture hood and started driving to NC two hours later than expected bc I got to witness this

Join me in The Science of Childhood Cancer lecture series this Thursday, September 5 at noon CT/1pm ET where I will be presenting “Chromatin and Cancer: from mechanisms to emerging therapies.” Register to attend: ow.ly/yzf550T7Iv3 CR

We are delighted to see our Review featured on the cover of the September issue of Nature Reviews Drug Discovery. Original tweetatorial is linked below! Hayden Malone St. Jude Research St. Jude Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
