STEM CELLS, DEVELOPMENT, DISEASES

We are recruiting postdoctoral fellows with training in developmental biology, stem cell/regeneration and immunology (preferably). We will also consider other training background. Contact Dr. Que at jq2240@cumc.columbia.edu

Qiyue's paper on the role of Sox9 in gastric stem cell transformation is online at Gastroenterology. We for the first time combined CreER/Loxp with Flippase/Frt genetic recombination systems to target cells co-expressing two proteins.  Link

Huachao's paper at eLife reporting a p63+Krt5- progenitor cell population contribute to lung regeneration, generating beautiful alveolar cells. Link

Congraulations to our Columbian undergrad Kate Johnson for obtaining a scholarship to study in Italy

Congratulations to Huachao for starting his independent job at Spark Therapeutics

Kuancan's paper on Sox2/PARP1 interaction in esophageal cancer is out. Congrats! Link

Dr. Dominique Bailey was awarded with a K08 grant and the Prestigious RWJF Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program Award. Also congratulations to her recent promotion to tenure track Assistant Professor at Columbia University. 

Dr. Huachao Huang was awarded with a DoD Discovery Award. Congratulations!

Our review on upper GI stem cells, metaplasia and cancer was just published in Cell Stem Cell, thanks to the team efforts from the Hayakawa lab, Nakagawa lab, Rustgi lab, Que lab and Wang lab. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34129814/

Congratulations to Helu who joined the Chinese Acdamy of Sciences at SanYa as an Associate Professor.

Our second COVID-19 paper through collaboration with the Izar group is out at Nature, focused on single cell analysis of virus-infected lungs that show abnormal epithelial regeneration, tuft cells and ongoing fibrosis. https://rdcu.be/cjEGQ . Congratulations to Huachao!
 
Our another paper by Jiang et al. focused on the surprising role of VEGFR2 (KDR) in airway epithelial differentiation was accepted by Developmental Cell. link.  Congratulations to Ming!
 
Our first COVID-19 paper (Yinshan Fang et al.) was accepted by Cell Research. Congratulations to Yinshan!
