Boxun was awarded a Pilot Project Award by the Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research. Congratulations, Boxun!

Alice won a two-year grant from the AT Children's Program foundation on single-cell analysis of AT brains.

Alice presented her work on " Immune Signatures Correlate with L1 Retrotransposition in Gastrointestinal Cancers" at the Keystone Symposia: Mobile Genetic Elements and Genome Plasticity ( http://www.keystonesymposia.org/18B7) in one of her favorite venues, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Alice was invited to a transposon workshop on " Transposable Elements at the Crossroad of Health and Disease" to be held in Barbados in January, 2019. A 90-min informal session for each speaker on the Caribbean beach is the norm, the organizers say!

The Lee lab took a one-day excursion to enjoy the beautiful New England fall foliage. Our eager guest hiker, Lixing Yang, from the University of Chicago, intimidated us into making an ambitious plan to suffer through the challenging Franconian Ridge Loop trail , and then by some twist of fate...

Dr. Boxun Zhao joined the Lee laboratory as a postdoctoral fellow in August, 2018. He obtained his PhD in Genetics from Peking Union Medical College and Tsinghua University. He studied somatic retrotransposon insertions in neurological disorders through the development of novel experimental assays...

Alice was invited to a one-day workshop entitled " Think Tank on Understanding Sequence-Specific Mutations on Cancer" held at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), speaking on human retrotransposons and cancer immunity with other prominent scientists in the field.
