🥳 Welcome to Dr Rohini Janivara @rohinijanivara.bsky.social who has joined the #AitkenLab @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social as a postdoctoral associate.
Rohini completed her PhD in bioinformatics at Georgia Tech - and now we are looking forward to working together on all things mutations and cancer!

Thanks for everything! I will miss being around in the lab but see you online 🫶🏻
It has been an absolute pleasure to host @bhernando.bsky.social here at @yalecancer.bsky.social for the last few months!
I've learnt so much, and your generosity and enthusiasm will be greatly missed. Looking forward to future collaboration, friendship - and paella 🤩

It was an honor to take part in the @yalepathology.bsky.social research retreat today! Great science, inspiring discussions, a fun “guess who?”, and wonderful people. Huge thanks to organizers for such a great work! Can’t believe only 2 months left to enjoy this amazing #AitkenLab team ✨
Thank you James, Shannon, and co for organising an interesting mix of science and trivia...
And we finally met the person behind the @yalepathology.bsky.social handle - thanks for sharing our work, Terry!
Today was our first Yale Pathology Department retreat - with Klaske, Barbara, Jacob, and Vanessa (we missed you Tanuja!) Great to present our work with a poster and two talks, share ideas, and meet new people

A fantastic (first) Closer to Free Ride: 100 miles with friends from #NHBC, colleagues from @yalecancer.bsky.social , and a #CycloPath we met along the way. Thank you for all the sponsorship - and the support on the road!
#CTFRide @ctfride.bsky.social
Thank you Coraline - having friendly, supportive neighbours certainly helps 😊
Yesterday was our fourth lab-iversary 🥳
In the last year we moved to the US, welcomed new lab members at Yale and in Cambridge, mastered Transatlantic hybrid lab life, posted preprints, published others, submitted grants... Looking forward to what year five has in store!
