小谷大学院生らの論文がCellsに掲載されました。
初めての筆頭著者論文を出すことができ、とてもうれしく思っています。論文作成にあたり、ラボ内外のメンバーに大いに助けていただき、周囲の方々の優しさを改めて感じました。私自身も周囲の方々を助けられる頼もしいラボの一員となれるよう邁進したいと思います。

I begun the OOSP project in 2015 when I arrived to EGR. My goal was to find genes important for female fertility, and the OOSP family seemed to be the best candidate for that. We started from knocking out each gene individually and then as technology advanced, we were able to make a triple knockout female mouse! Unfortunately, my time at EGR ended just as the TKO mouse was created because I decided to return back to the US to pursue medical school. Thanks to my co-author Mayo and everyone else who supported us during these past few years, we were able to publish the one gene family that was so close to my heart. Honestly, with the publication of this paper, it feels like this chapter in my life has officially closed. Thank you to everyone who has helped me grow. And hopefully, when I return back to Japan, I will be Ferheen Abbasi, MD.
