Kasper has been co-appointed to the Harvard University Faculty of Medicine. Very well deserved and the biggest congratulations to you Kasper!

Kasper presented his talk titled “Expanding discovery from cancer genomes by integrating network analyses with massively parallel in vivo tumorigenesis assays” at the 2018 San Diego Cell Mapping Symposium. His presentation featured work led by Heiko Horn on expanding discovery from cancer genomes using NetSig, in collaboration with Jesse Boehm and Gaddy Getz at the Broad Institute.

Taibo presented his work on tissue-specific network analyses using the Broad Institute GeNets technology. GeNets can be found here.

Taibo won the outstanding graduate student presentation award from the Association of Chinese Genetics in America during the ASHG 2018 Annual Meeting held in San Diego. We are very proud of you and excited for the fantastic future ahead of you Taibo!

April Kim, Nadine Fornelos Martins, Heiko Horn, Taibo Li and Kalliopi Tsafou attended the ASHG 2018 Annual Meeting held in San Diego. Group members presented their work during the poster session and former member Taibo Li presented a platform talk. Great work everyone!
