One of many rewards of working at @CincyChildrens is being able to participate in patient advocacy meetings. Today clinicians, surgeons, and researchers come together with families to share information on MFDM. Thanks to @UC_CCTST @CincyChildrens for supporting this meeting.

Big Congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Evan Brooks @ecbrooks96. Such a special day! @CincyResearch @MDBCincy

Congrats to the graduate student poster winners from the Craniofacial GRC @ecbrooks96 , Maria Lydia Loannides and Aino Sasbuchi

It was a fabulous week in Barcelona hearing about cutting-edge craniofacial research. Thank you to all the speakers and session chairs and congratulations to our postdoctoral poster winners @kelsell15 @xsciteng and Ka Kui Tong

Celebrating our amazing researchers and staff during our Research Symposium Opening Celebration in Sabin Auditorium #CincyResearch2024

Our two-day 2024 Research Symposium just kicked off! Currently on stage is our 1st of 2 keynotes featuring our very own Dr. Jeff Molkentin, Executive Co-Director of @CincyKidsHeart, one of the most highly cited researchers in the world. #CincyResearch2024

New preprint from my lab! Led by superstar PhD student @SamBarnada in collaboration with @LabEHerrera and many others including @BrugmannLab, Kevin Peterson, Steve McMahon. We investigated the role of ARID1A (BAF) in neural crest cell specification (1/n)
