We’re opening the lab and recruiting at all levels! Come work with us on functional genomics in brain tumors. liulab.ucsf.edu @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSFCancer
So incredibly honored and excited to work with my wonderful group to improve our understanding of this terrible disease!
We are excited to announce that John Liu, M.D., Ph.D. of @UCSFRadOnc, is one of the three DSA recipients for 2025. His project "Defining mechanisms of GBM treatment resistance using spatially-resolved CRISPR perturbations" promises important progress in GBM research. #DSA2025

Honored to have the support of @sontagfdn !
Congrats to @sjohnliu named one of the three recipients of this yr’s Distinguished Scientist Award from @sontagfdn! Supports research using new functional genomic techniques to find better therapies for glioblastoma neurosurgery.ucsf.edu/news/u… @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSF @UCSFHospitals

New collaborative paper with @LukeGilbertSF showing the feasibility and value of in vivo functional genomics for understanding #glioblastoma. Congratulations to lead author @sjohnliu and all the other investigators! @NeurosurgUCSF @UCSFCancer @UCSF link.springer.com/article/10…
Happy to report our platform for functional interrogation of cancer and microenvironment cells! Another step toward better treatments for glioblastoma. genomebiology.biomedcentral.… @LukeGilbertSF @LabRaleigh @arcinstitute @NeurosurgUCSF

Out now! Schwannoma-omics led by the incomparable @sjohnliu @LabRaleigh.

Much more to come on the heels of this fantastic collaboration @LukeGilbertSF @LabRaleigh @arcinstitute @NeurosurgUCSF biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Some schwannomas act like injured nerves--mechanism for growth? Great work by @BhuviP TomBarrett with @SidPuram @allegra_petti labs biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Also see wonderful study on schwannoma epigenetic reprogramming by @LabRaleigh biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Is schwannoma a prototypical epigenetic and microenvironment driven disease? We think so. Many years in the making on this one.
2 #schwannoma pre-prints! @LabRaleigh and lead author @sjohnliu identify epigenetic mechanisms underlying schwannoma molecular groups: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Meanwhile, @AlbertHKimMDPhD finds nerve injury-like cell states distinguish schwannoma cells: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/….

Excited for @LukeGilbertSF and for continuing our work at @arcinstitute!
We're thrilled to announce that Luke Gilbert will be joining Arc as a Core Investigator! @LukeGilbertSF is a pioneer in developing CRISPR technology for editing the epigenome, with a particular focus on understanding the genetics & epigenetics of cancer. Welcome to Arc, Luke!
