Kasper participated and spoke at the Copenhagen Bioscience Conference on Protein Signaling http://cph-bioscience.com/en/events/protein-signaling.

Nadine joins the Lage Lab as a Scientific Advisor. She completed her post-doctoral training in the human microbiome with Dr. Ramnik Xavier at the Broad Institute and will be coordinating overall lab operations and providing scientific guidance and feedback to the team members. Welcome Nadine!

Kasper hosted and presented the lab’s work on the BINe (Brain Interaction Network) project alongside Ed Scolnick, who is the founder of the Stanley Center at the Broad Institute and former Head of Research at Merck.

Former graduate student Taibo Li has been selected to present his work at the Stanley Center on cell-type specific RNA sequencing networks using GeNets as a platform talk at ASHG 2018 taking place in San Diego. Congratulations Taibo!

BINe-autism spectrum disorder project, in collaboration with Kevin Eggan Lab, was chosen for presentation at the outstanding SFARI fall meeting.

April Kim and Heiko Horn, along with members from the Eggan Lab (Natalie Petrossian, Billy Crotty, Eugene Nacu) presented their work on elucidating brain networks perturbed by genetics in psychiatric diseases at the 2018 iPSYCH meeting.

Kalliopi Tsafou, who received her PhD in Health Sciences from the University of Copenhagen and was a postdoctoral fellow at Toretsky Lab at Georgetown, joins the Lage Lab to focus on approaches that rely on the combination of protein interaction networks with temporal proteomic profiling towards illuminating otherwise hidden underlying disease mechanisms. Welcome Kalliopi!

Kasper will present the lab’s work, and the work of collaborators from the Accelerating Medicines Partnership in Type 2 Diabetes (Mark McCarthy, Rob Sladek, Anna Gloyn, Chad Cowan, and Jose Florez) at this meeting on the NIH campus April 23rd.

The event will take place in Boston April 23 – 25 and the overarching theme is artificial intelligence in medicine and healthcare.

Anika Gupta, who has been an MIT Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program researcher in the lab for 2 years, was recently accepted into the PhD programs of Harvard (Bioinformatics and Integrative Genomics), Harvard-MIT (Health Sciences and Technology), and Stanford Medicine (Biomedical Informatics). Anika was co-supervised with Aviv Regev.

Congratulations Anika – we couldn’t be more proud of you and wish you the very best of luck as a graduate student!!!
