Happy to have contributed to the development of novel endogenous opioid biosensors. Thank you Chunyang (Jason) Dong for being an amazing collaborator, Lin Tian, PhD for the opportunity, mbruchas for the guidance and NIDAnews for the funding!

We are doing this again for the 2024-2025 UCSF Neuroscience Graduate Program Neuroscience Formal Seminar Series! Postdocs, apply to give a talk and get to know the UCSF Neuroscience community. Send CV and short abstract to [email protected]. Nominate yourself or others!

Very happy to share our latest review Neuron on plasticity within cortico-basal ganglia circuitry in motor learning! It was fun to take stock of all the progress we've collectively made, but there are still many exciting directions ahead. doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

Fantastic overview of how plasticity within cortico-basal ganglia circuitry regulates motor learning!

It is out! “Schwann cell-secreted PGE2 promotes sensory neuron excitability during development.” Published online today! Huge thanks to my amazing mentor Dr. Brad Zuchero ZucheroLab ! Cell .authors.elsevier.com/a/1jbBiL7PXqRXI
