BIDMC Core Science Day 2026

Dr Steven Vandal presented, "Unraveling PARP-inhibitor resistance through single-cell mapping of BRCA1 reversion mutations", and won the Postdoc Pitch Competition! High-Impact Core-Enabled Research Presentation!

Our study, "The miR-362-3p/BCLAF1 axis regulates cisplatin sensitivity and metastatic progression in triple-negative breast cancer"  was presented in both oral (Dr. Heng) and poster (Dr. Zhaoji Liu) formats to showcase how using 200 uL of plasma to discover miRNAs can lead to understanding mechanism and treatment response. 

Dr. Alice Rodrigues presented a poster, "African Green Monkey Cerebrospinal Fluid miRNome Captures Conserved miRNAs Relevant to Human Neurodegenerative Disease" on behalf of the study authors and the Detection Unit of the Precision RNA Medicine Core.
