Dustin and Emily attended this year’s Pediatrics Department Research Retreat along with 300 other pediatrics researchers and staff. Emily presented her poster titled “Development of transcription factor reporter assays to functionally test disease-associated variants via high throughput deep mutational scanning (DMS).” DMS is increasingly becoming an area of interest in the translational sciences, including being highlighted in the retreat’s keynote presentation from Dr. David Ginsburg from the University of Michigan. This event was a great opportunity to connect the experimental focus of our lab to the improved patient outcomes in the clinic!
