@aikenlab.bsky.socialOne year of the Aiken Lab! 🧫🔬🎉 It’s hard to believe how much we’ve built in our first year: new research directions, first papers, outreach initiatives, and an incredible team. Grateful to Sareen, Alejandra, Jacob, and Jay, and to our mentors and collaborators who have supported us along the way!
