Happy #FluorescenceFriday with a Hyser Lab special: rotavirus induced calcium waves! 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️🏄 #sciart #microscopy Nikon Small World ibidi GmbH #fluorescentfriday

Women of the TMC DDC 👩‍🔬 Dr. Mary K Estes (Estes Lab at BCM) is the founder and emeritus director of the TMC DDC, and the co-director of our Gastrointestinal Experimental Model Systems (GEMS) Core. She is also a distinguished service professor BCMHouston! Thank you, Dr. Estes!

A GFP doughnut? 🍩 Nope! It is a #rotavirus viroplasm-associated membrane labeled with the GCaMP8s #calciumsignaling sensor. There are NSP4 #viroporins in them there membranes! And I think there are some small Ca2+ fluxes detected.

Women of the TMC DDC 👩‍🔬 Dr. Sashi Ramani is part of our Pathways to Inclusive Enrichment (PIE) Committee! An assistant professor BCMHouston's Department of Molecular #Virology and #Microbiology, her lab studies GI infections from #rotavirus and #norovirus. Very admirable work!

Say Hi! This NSP4 expressing cell is “waving” at you! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

I haven’t done any electrophysiology on rotavirus NSP4 in several years…nice to know that I still got it. #viroporin #calciumsignaling #ephys #ionchannels

The eye wall off Beryl is tracking right through Houston Medical Center and Montrose/Midtown

Thankful this is only a Cat 1 hurricane!

Today is my favorite day… It’s Dissertation Defense Day!! Come see a fantastic seminar by j. thomas gebert today at 1pm CT. #calciumsignaling #rotavirus #viroporin #LoveVirology

An epic reactivation. Not enough Acyclovir in the world to stop that one! ❤️Amazing fun!

Our department is recruiting a tenure-track assistant professor in chemical biology and drug discovery. The potential candidate can apply for $2M recruitment grant from CPRIT with $1M match from BCMHouston. Deadline 9/15. Apply early if you can. jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/659614/ten…

Heads up. New PAIN Journal paper from @ebethsypek and Grégory Scherrer: Diversity of microglial transcriptional responses during... : PAIN journals.lww.com/pain/fulltext/…

My favorite day is a tattoo day! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

How it started and how it’s going. The Great Wave in homage to Alex Chang-Graham, MD PhD discovering #rotavirus #calcium waves Admittedly one of the strangest incentives system. But it makes for great tattoo art. That to JeremyRedhawk for the beautiful work on my science sleeve.

Great mentor!

Happy Halloween 🎃 👻 🧟 🤡 Hyser Lab members have the brains 🧠 to get the job done! Even I have worked myself to the bone! 💀 Cool research and more calcium signaling videos coming soon!
