this is a great example of the learning potential of #virtualreality - being able to look at neurons, literally reach into my head and pull out my real brain from an MRI scan - will definitely transform teaching with Blanka

cool new preprint from Josef Kittler in UCL Neuroscience investigating how neuroligin-2 phosphorylation regulates synaptic stability biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New pre-print from the lab in collaboration with Saad Hannan and the Smart lab from UCL Neuroscience : PKA-mediated phosphorylation of Neuroligin-2 regulates its cell surface expression and synaptic stabilisation biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest research out in ChemRxiv 3D Printed Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) Impregnated Stirrer Devices for Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

So good to patch again! Josef Kittler lab UCL Neuroscience

Really excited that my PhD work from Josef Kittler's lab at UCL Neuroscience, exploring mitochondrial dynamics in parvalbumin interneurons, is now out on bioRxiv Neuroscience ! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this work ! 🧠🔬✨ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨EXCITED to share a preprint from my postdoc work from UCL! We find Nischarin, a NEW protein interactor, regulates glutamate transporter surface levels in ASTROCYTES 🤯. This EXCITING interaction, is activated by Glu and can be NEUROPROTECTIVE 🧠💪. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Shiny new preprint alert! Have a look at our latest work on Ataxin-2 and how it affects the Drosophila cytoskeleton Vladimir Gelfand Urko del Castillo Department of Cell & Developmental Biology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

From an amazing collaboration with scientists and engineers at IKA, our #flowchemistry research has resulted in the launch of #IKAFlow - an ideal small-footprint system built around stirrer hotplates-perfect for transitioning from batch to flow-ika.com/en/Products-La…

Great to be part of this study with Bárbara Frias Steven Yong-Yi Yap Melissa C. Wren, Ph.D see the highlights of the study in this video abstract youtu.be/Wcizxk21K54

Delighted to see this out in The EMBO Journal. Great work from GLopez_Domenech, Jack Howden and colleagues. We show that long term disruption of Miro1 leads to altered mitophagy, pathological activation of the integrated stress response and neurodegeneration. embopress.org/doi/full/10.15…

My PhD work is now published at eLife - the journal! Very excited to share new insight on the spatiotemporal regulation of #mitochondrial dynamics in #parvalbumin #interneurons! Thanks to everyone involved in this work at UCL and University of Oxford elifesciences.org/articles/65215

Very excited to see this study out in @Elife on the role of Miro1 dependent mitochondrial dynamics in parvalbumin interneurons. Great work from Georgina Kontou with brilliant help from colleagues in the Kittler, Mann and Salinas labs: elifesciences.org/articles/65215

I was on Sky News this morning talking about the new DBS depression case study

I can't quite believe it, but I've just been told that David Charles Ogden has died. He's been a friend since the 1960s. He had a brilliant career --a wonderful scientist and lovely person. Gone at only 75.

I've tried to reconstruct the 1993 Fenn lecture by Prof Sir Bernard Katz, For those of us lucky enough to have known him, it's amazing to hear his voice so clearly. #physiology #biophysics The Physiological Society youtube.com/watch?v=hipXyx…

Our #VirtualReality #outreach as featured on BBC Southeast tonight

At a school in Kent, pupils are conducting virtual experiments in a UCL UCL School of Pharmacy lab without having to leave the school grounds, thanks to Dr Stephen Hilton stephen hilton who has created his 3D-printing lab in virtual form (Watch from 13:53) bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…
