The Department of Systems Biology’s 2024 annual retreat was held in September at Woodloch Pines Resort, PA. The retreat gave DSB faculty, post-docs, and students a chance to get away from the bustle of New York City, learn about their peers’ research, and network.

DSB researchers and graduate students participated in a poster competition held the first evening, and reviewed by Systems Biology faculty judges. The three poster winners were  Daniel Caron for “Maintenance of human macrophage tissue identity and plasticity during acute polarization”;  Yiwei Sun for “Fecal exfoliated RNA (eRNA) profiling captures immune dynamics of healthy and inflamed gut”;  and Ruchika Mishra for “Deciphering RNA recognition code for Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) editing factors.”
