When it rains it pours! Congratulations to Chintan Patel, a graduate student in the lab, for receiving an 8% on his F31 training grant!!! Chin will be studying molecular mechanisms of presynaptic transmission in hiPSC-derived neurons using cutting-edge optical and EM techniques.

Congratulations Alejandra Romero-Morales, Ph.D (she/ella) for receiving a 5% score on your NIMH F32 training grant to study the role of TCF4 in human #oligodendrocyte development.

Hand here’s the official reveal: part 2 of my almost joint PhD thesis with Andreas Pfenning and Ryan Logan 🧠 21. co-led by the amazing Dr. Maddie Ray. Check out what cross-primate conservation of single cell damage in OUD.
