Researchers have identified a novel cluster of liver cells (hepatocytes) that specifically emerge during metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). These cells exhibit unique gene expression and cellular senescence, acting as a critical regulator of liver disease progression.

Ocular coloboma is a congenital eye defect that occurs when the optic fissure fails to close properly during early development. Recent research utilizing lab-grown, miniature human retinas—known as retinal organoids—has identified how mutations in a specific growth-controlling protein contribute to this condition.

Then I went to @EPFL in #Lausanne #Switzerland to study the topic that got me interested in #MolecularGenetics and #EvoDevo, #HoxGenes with @DenisDuboule (#InHoxWeTrust).

Now I am a Senior Scientist at @TesseraTx in #Boston doing the #BioTech thing. I have a budding interest in #Retrotransposons and #Retroposition.
