Professor & Dattels Family Chair at The Jackson Laboratory @jacksonlab studying hematopoietic stem cell biology, aging & cancer. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Tweets are my own.
Thrilled to share that our Stem Cells & Developmental Biology program at JAX is officially launched. 40 PIs. 60+ trainees. >$160M in active NIH funding. Fundamental discovery and translational platforms — in the same world.

We're proud to fund @TrowbridgeLab & @vangalenlab as they investigate how age-related inflammation may fuel blood cancers—and uncover potential paths to prevention. This is why connecting aging biology & cancer research matters! with @TheMarkFdn#BloodCancerAwarenessMonth
This #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth, we’re spotlighting 2023 Emerging Leader Award winner Jennifer Trowbridge (@TrowbridgeLab) of @JacksonLab. She’s looking for answers to a big question: why aging blood cells develop into cancer in some individuals but not others.
The Jackson Laboratory is a wonderful, collaborative place to pursue basic & translational science. On the faculty job market? I strongly encourage you to consider joining us in Bar Harbor, Maine!

Bittersweet to say goodbye to our lab manager @griffin_nye after 5 years. He's kept the lab running & brought endless enthusiasm along the way. So grateful for all he's given. I'll miss him, but I'm excited to see him follow his dream of becoming a teacher! 🩷
I had the privilege and joy of returning yesterday to the @DanaFarber and @BostonChildrens where I did my postdoctoral training, this time as an invited speaker. Grateful to Zuzana Tothova for hosting me! It was a full circle moment and can't wait for the next time 😁
Wonderful start to #ISEH2026 in Frankfurt—BOD meetings and a rooftop reception! Inspired by the tireless dedication of BOD and LOC. Grateful for 3 incredible years with wonderful colleagues, and excited for the society’s future as new members join. Ready for 3 days of science!
We are grateful for support from The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research @TheMarkFdn!! Particularly for high-risk, high-reward endeavors that are challenging to fund through conventional mechanisms.
With mixed emotions, we said farewell to our summer student Eva Rios. She was a JOY to have in the lab - thoughtful, engaged, creative, a dot-connector and with a great sense of humor and desire to learn and be challenged 🤩 #SSP26#JAXGenomicEducation#JAXstemcellsdev
Eva bravely chose "Blue Man Group" as her team's mini golf theme and didn't hesitate to fully commit. Special thanks to postdoc James Miller for being an awesome mentor this summer!!
This may reach beyond the bone marrow. Clonal expansion happens broadly in tissues including skin, colon, and esophagus. If senescence-driven niche remodeling turns out to be a general feature of pre-malignant clones, it could matter across multiple tissue contexts.
