The Oudin lab is joining the fight against epilepsy! After my daughter was diagnosed with a mutation in an alternatively spliced exon of a sodium channel that causes epilepsy, I felt so powerless watching her seize and not develop -so I wanted to do something that could help 1/n

Excited to invite #postdoc applications for a new comparative primate neuroimaging project! We are studying #brain #evolution for communication and technological abilities in humans and other apes. [thread]

From our recent nature— outlining key terms [part 1] ‘We define #organoids as in vitro-generated cellular systems that emerge by self-organization, include multiple cell types, and exhibit some cytoarchitectural and functional features reminiscent of an organ or organ region.’

Early-stage investigators proposed innovative high-impact research ideas for the @NIHDirector’s New Innovator Award. See the projects the awardees will pursue: bit.ly/hrhr2022nia #NIHHighRisk

Honored to receive the NIH Director's New Innovator Award NIH Common Fund #NIHHighRisk to study advanced stem cell models of the brain! Columbia Medicine Columbia Stem Cell Initiative (CSCI) International SCN8A Alliance stxbp1 #stemcells #epilepsy Makinsonlab.com commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator

Glad to share our latest work out in nature today We show that human cortical #organoids transplanted into the somatosensory cortex of newborn rats develop mature cell types and integrate into sensory circuits and can influence reward-seeking behavior nature.com/articles/s4158…

Highly recommend this fantastic course to anyone interested in learning the nuts and bolts of brain organoids.

Congratulations Omer and team. Fantastic work!

Open Ephys has some big news: we have been awarded a Phase II SBIR to develop exciting new tech using our open-hardware standards. We are looking for an engineer to help us with this! Here are some reasons you might want to apply...

Excited to launch the Brain Organoid Hub Emory University Emory Genetics along with Steven Sloan Jimena Andersen! brainorganoidhub.com Interested in joining us as a research specialist or postdoc? Find Steven at Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 2022 for a chat!

The hub is hiring! Interested in organoid and assembloid models? Get in touch!

We are recruiting postdocs for our neurogenetics laboratory! We will be at #AES2022. If you will be in Nashville, please reach out to us and we will be happy to meet. For more information: faculty-emory.icims.com/jobs/90722/job…

1/3 Want to give your mice a gift? Open Ephys Commutators are now available: open-ephys.org/commutators/co…! They use the orientation information provided by Miniscopes and ONIX headstages to provide near zero-torque tether commutation during free exploration.

My lab will soon have a full-time, multi-year position available for a comparative MRI project on the neurobiology & evolution of aggression. Will adjust to suit: PhD position, postdoc fellowship, or full time staff role. Email or DM for info! 🧠🦊🐵🤓

First SCN8A epilepsy grant awarded! So grateful that when I approached Chris Dulla after Margot’s diagnosis, he did not hesitate to collaborate to start SCN8A research! Thanks American Epilepsy Society for the Seed Grant to characterize a new mouse model and test out disease-correcting ASOs

Thrilled to chair a great SIG session today at #AES2023 discussing the use of human iPSCs derived models to study genetic epilepsies! #SCN2A #SCN8A #ARX Jenny Hsieh Lena Nguyen Makinson Lab

Pre-print alert: Voltage imaging of dendrites in the hippocampus. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks to: Zhenrui Liao, Kevin Gonzalez, Adrian Negrean, Makinson Lab, Prof. Michael Lin, and others

The Andersen lab and Emory Brain Organoid Hub are looking for a motivated Research Specialist to contribute to a project generating and characterizing region-specific organoids and assembloids derived from ALS and control hiPSCs. Join us! social.icims.com/viewjob/pt1711…

Such a thrill to see our work on developing genetic theraputics for Timothy Syndrome on the cover of nature today. One of the most gratifying projects i've ever worked on, alongside Xiaoyu Chen with Sergiu P. Pasca at the helm. Excited for what lies ahead for dev. theraputics!

The Wong lab has opened, and we're recruiting! Check out our new lab website! thewonglaboratory.com
