Welcome Jailynn Harke!
We are pleased to have Jailynn Harke, who obtained her PhD in Eric Joyce’s lab here at Penn, join our lab as a postdoctoral fellow. Jailynn will work on using advanced imaging technologies to study 4D genome organization and how it relates to genome function!
Our collaborative paper on DNA-origami piggybacking into the nucleus is out in Science Advances!
Congratulations to Patty and all the co-authors on this highly collaborative work between Castro, Poirier, Lakadamyali, Tora and Arya Labs! Read the full story here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adn9423
Goodbye Angel and Qing!
We had a bittersweet lab gathering to bid farewell to Angel and Qing and wish them the best on their next journey.
Very excited to send Qing off to start her independent PI position at the University of Nebraska and looking forward to watching the exciting science that will come out of her lab.
Best of luck to both of you! We will miss you.
Congratulations to Victor for passing his prelim with flying colors!
Victor Xing is now a PhD candidate after successfully passing his prelim exam. Congratulations Victor!
Our collaborative paper with the Shenoy, Cosma and Backman labs is online at Nature Communications
Congratulations to Aayush and co-authors for this exciting work on combining modeling with a multitude of high resolution imaging approaches to determine the role of epigenetic reactions and active transcription on meso-scale genome organization.
Angel's paper is online at Cell Reports!

Welcome Victor Xing!
Lakadamyali lab keeps growing. We are pleased to welcome Victor, who has decided to join the lab as a PhD student after having completed his rotation in the lab!
Welcome Marcus Woodworth
A belated welcome to Marcus Woodworth, who joined the lab in April as a postdoctoral fellow!
Triple celebration in the Lakadamyali Lab
We celebrated Jose-Angel Martinez Sarmiento successfully defending his thesis! Hannah Kim passed her prelims with flying colors to officially become a PhD candidate. And Adriana Naomi Santiago-Ruiz got her NIH F31 fellowship funded! What a week! Congratulations to Angel, Hannah and Adriana!
Lakadamyali Lab goes to the Biophysical Society Meeting in San Diego
The lab was well-represented at the BPS meeting in San Diego with two platform talks by Adriana and Patty and two poster presentations by Charlie and Siewert. They all did an amazing job! Congratulations!
Welcome Solon Andrades Da Rosa
We have a new visiting PhD student from the ICBS/UFRGS in Brazil. Solon will study the heterogeneity of senescent cells in glioblastoma cancer using super-resolution microscopy. We are excited to have him in the lab
