A long sought after hypothesis has been that organizing biomolecules in and around nuclear bodies is essential for functional RNA processing. We now provide direct evidence of this in @Nature for nuclear speckles and mRNA splicing. Check out this thread!

www.nature.com Genome organization around nuclear speckles drives mRNA splicing efficiency Nature - Nuclear speckles are shown to have a functional role in mRNA splicing, whereby dynamic three-dimensional organization of DNA around these structures mediates splicing efficiency.

What are the functional roles of 3D genome organization? Our paper in @Nature led by @_prashantbhat demonstrates how dynamic 3D genome organization around nuclear speckles plays a crucial role in regulating mRNA splicing efficiency. rdcu.be/dHkez

I was surprised to have learned I received the Emil Bogen Research Prize by reading it in the commencement booklet during the ceremony!

Thank you @UCLA_Pathology for the shout out and @dgsomucla for the recognition.

I am looking forward to starting the next chapter @UCSFPath!

🎓 Congratulations to Dr. Prashant Bhat on graduating from the UCLA DGSOM School of Medicine as part of the UCLA-Caltech Medical Scientist Training Program! This month, Prashant was honored as one of the recipients of the Emil Bogen Research Prize, in recognition of outstanding research achievement.

This July, Dr. Bhat will begin his Pathology Residency in the Physician-Scientist Track at UCSF.

We wish him continued success in this exciting next chapter!

4/2015: First day visiting Caltech
4/2026: Same spot, last day in Pasadena 11 years later!

Kudos to my mom for remembering this picture and wanting to recreate it. Moms know best :)

Also, she wants you to know she didn't age.

I matched to my #1 program at @UCSFPath in their Clinical Pathology/Physician Scientist Program!

Excited to meet my co-residents & colleagues! Kudos to @uclacaltechmstp, @mitchguttman, Zhen Mei, Dave Dawson and many others at @UCLA_Pathology for their support!

SF, here I come!

Hi! I’ll be speaking at @harvardmed Department of Biomedical Informatics on December 5th about genome organization and splicing/speckles. Thank you to the organizers for the invite! Harvard/MIT/affiliate trainees can RSVP to attend with this link:
