Congratulations to Joseph Lin, who led the way in putting together this fantastic study!

Had a blast at #ARVO2023 presenting some new work from the Apte Lab, reconnecting with the ARVO community, and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere here in New Orleans!

Pleased to see this important work led by Feng Guanping in print this week. Thankful for the formative opportunity to work with this vibrant and innovative vision science community. ⁦SchallekLab⁩ ⁦CVSUoR⁩ nature.com/articles/s4200…

OUT NOW! We provide a 3D printable stage that enables detailed images of the mouse eye -without anesthesia- Design and .STL files downloadable in our new paper: disq.us/t/4gnx5uq URochester SMD democratizing science!

Pleased to announce the successful defense of my PhD dissertation! Thankful for the support of my mentor, Dr. Rajendra Apte, Apte Lab, @WUSTLdbbs committee and collaborators, family, and friends. Excited to share more details on the science soon!

Thank you to @WustlDOVS for featuring our latest publication at the start of National Diabetes Awareness Month. We hope this discovery contributes to an ongoing effort to create a brighter future for patients.

Stop by the Neuroinflammation and Microglia Nanosymposium today at #SfN2023 (1:00-3:30pm) to hear my talk (1:30pm) on microglial function in diabetic retinopathy. Society for Neuroscience (SfN)
