Cancer Outreach Program

Several members of our lab have become active participants in a new initiative aimed at connecting Cornell students with people living with cancer. You can read more about this mutually beneficial program in the below clipping from 'SCOPES and this July article in the Ithaca Journal.

Congratulations to Amy Lyndaker

Congratulations to Amy Lyndaker and other members of Weiss Lab on the acceptance of their paper titled "Conditional inactivation of the DNA damage response gene Hus1 in mouse testis reveals separable roles for components of the RAD9-RAD1-HUS1 complex in meiotic chromosome maintenance" for publication in PLoS Genetics! The paper was published in February and can be found here.

Postdoctoral positions are now available

Postdoctoral positions are now available for US citizens/permanent residents through the Reproductive Genomics NIH Training Grant Program. Available projects in the Weiss Lab include analysis of cancer stem cells, tumor metastasis, and determinants of chemosensitivity in a novel mouse testicular germ cell tumor model as well as investigation of roles for DNA damage checkpoint pathways in DNA recombination and chromosome synapsis monitoring during mouse meiosis.
