We are looking for a PhD student to join our group Department of Fundamental Neurosciences to study the neuronal circuits in the spinal cord in sensorimotor disorders. Apply here: career5.successfactors.eu/career?career%…

Each year, the Dept of Cell Biology recognizes an outstanding undergraduate, graduate, or post doc learner. Meet 4th year neuroscience PhD candidate Tana Pottorf-Nitcher working in microglia-motoneuron interactions in the spinal cord after injury. More ➡️ brnw.ch/21wIQhM

Love to see credit where credit is due!! Tana is a serious force in the lab and an excellent mentor, take a minute to read i to her ongoing work Tana Sue Pottorf-Nitcher Emory Alvarez Lab

IHC question: am I sleeping on having my primary antibodies conjugated to a fluorophore?? I've always done primary and then secondary....am I wasting time? What is our collective opinion on this?

Pleasure to host Victoria E. Abraira for our Cell Biology seminar Emory School of Medicine. Trainees had a fruitful lunch 🥗 with you. My only regret was not snapping a photo together with you & Alan Emanuel!! “Context is Key: How Spinal Cord Neuromodulation Shapes Our Somatosensory Experiences”

Today, I’m hosting Julia Kaltschmidt-Lab for our Cell Biology seminar! Really looking forward to your talk! Emory School of Medicine #gut

Our lab’s 1st honors thesis student!❤️🤓Congratulations to ⁦Tess Klugherz⁩ for graduating with Highest Honors in Biology 🌟 & for being an amazing athlete & student 🧑‍🎓 ⁦Emory College⁩ ⁦Emory Swim and Dive⁩ 🏊🏼‍♀️

Happy birthday to Brittney Ward (not related to Jill Ward 😀), our newest graduate student to join the lab! 🎂 The lab members made sure to celebrate 🎉 🙏🏼

Favorite part of my 1st ASIA meeting? Seeing people w spinal cord injury enjoying the amenities/beach/pool with their families, which is possible bc this hotel has good accessibility, ramps, smooth sidewalks, etc #CureSCI #SCI #NeuralRegeneration #Neurotrauma #FindAWay #Research

Absolutely thrilled to share I have been selected as an award recipient for the NIH #OSNAP 2024 cohort. Looking forward to meeting all my fellow recipients and sharing some of my data on microglia-motoneuron dynamics in November! 🎉 Big thanks to the A lab for continued support.

We are back with Black In Neuro Week 2024 🤓🧠. Mark for your calendars 🗓️ for July 29th to August 4th for a week of BIN events for our community and allies! Stayed tuned for more details as we get closer to #BINW24

Congrats to newest lab member & PhD candidate Nikki Boon on her record making NCAA Track & Field Outdoor Championship competition in the heptathlon & 4x100m relay. (Yeah - heptathlon!!) Go Nikki! 💪🏼 🏃🏽‍♀️ Emory Cross Country/Track and Field Emory Athletics Emory School of Medicine emoryathletics.com/sports/wtrack/…

Collaboration with Sahoo & friends🤓🔬

Lots of good things to celebrate at our lab dinner!🍲 Steady thesis progress for our 2 senior grad fellows, 2 new PhD candidates, a small new grant, a new hire & a medical school acceptance for our research specialist! 💪🏼#WomenInScience #WomenInNeuro Emory School of Medicine Jill Ward

Super exciting news!! My first author paper is now published at eLife! 🪰🪰🪰 Had the best time investigating the intersection of steroid hormone signaling and the Wg/Wnt developmental pathway! Moberg Lab doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

Multiple Postdoc Positions to Study Inner Ear Development My lab is moving to Emory Univ and we are recruiting postdocs. These are NIH-funded positions to study Planar Cell Polarity in hair cells and axons. Begin as early as January 2025. For consideration message me here!

Great talks today by Bethlehem Bekele & Tina Tian showcasing their thesis work in Gary J. Bassell & Jill Ward. Fantastic effort Brittney Ward organizing the 1st ENCORE 👏🏽 of the season #neuroscience #phdlife

Many thanks to the #ENCORE coordinators (and shoutout to Brittney Ward for running the first ENCORE of the year!) for the opportunity for Bethlehem Bekele and I to talk about our thesis work! What a great way to round out a #FridayThe13th 🐀 ft. the #crochet mouse
