Epic lab Murder Mystery party! 🕵️‍♀️🔍 Our 80s themed night took a wild turn when Lindy Lauper turned out to be the culprit, leaving Alligator Dundee with a Rubik’s cube to the head! 🐊🎉 #MurderMystery #80sParty #TeamBonding

🥁🥁🥁 Pre-print alert! 🥁🥁🥁 Read about our discovery of an additional age-specific platelet differentiation pathway from HSCs in the latest study by Donna Poscablo et al on BioRxiv 🔬🧑‍🔬🥼 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy birthday, Camilla! 🎉

Saran (NIH T32 postdoctoral fellow) and Jenna (CIRM predoctoral fellow) gave awesome presentations at the monthly IBSC_UCSC Stem Cell Club meeting…. The matching outfits were not planned!

Our current rotation student, Juste, and previous lab members, Angela and Sarah Beth, presented their final rotation posters today! Whichever labs they end up joining, we know they will do great things and we will be here to support them however we can! Good luck you all!

The Great Forsberg Lab Bake Off has officially begun! To kick things off, Stephanie and Bryce sabotaged their own cookies as an April fool’s prank. We “enjoyed” spicy, salty peanut butter cookies and licorice chocolate chip cookies 😳😵‍💫

We are so excited to share our newest discoveries in aging hematopoiesis and thrombosis, led by Donna Poscablo! “An age-progressive platelet differentiation path from hematopoietic stem cells causes exacerbated thrombosis.” Check out the Figure 360 for the highlights!

How do lineage tracing mouse models inform differentiation pathways from HSCs to platelets? Check out our latest review by @brycemanso et al!

It’s been an exciting month in the Forsberg Lab… Congratulations Jenna on advancing to candidacy! 🩸👩‍🔬

Congratulations, Saran Chattopadhyaya on becoming a GAIN mentor! As part of this IBSC_UCSC program, he will be mentoring 2 students from Cal State Monterey Bay over the summer as they will learn all about mouse hematopoiesis! 🐭🩸

Congratulations, Raana, on passing your Qualifying Exam!! 🎉🥳

Thanks, @brycemanso, for hosting a Flow Cytometry Workshop for the IBSC_UCSC community! Over 60 people attended - what a turn out!

What an eventful few days at the 2024 CIRM Trainee Networking Conference at USC! It was great engaging with fellow researchers and leaders in the stem cell field! We even met CIRM president Jonathan Thomas and Bob Klein, the driving force behind CIRM’s creation and funding!

Congratulations to our very own Marcel Rommel on winning the Pre-Meeting Workshop Best Poster Presentation award at this year’s ISEH conference. So very well-deserved! Bonus points for matching outfits with Camilla!

Camilla and Marcel Rommel took center stage this morning at the GSCN conference in Jena, Germany where they presented exciting work from the lab! It’s been great hearing from fellow researchers pushing the boundaries of stem cell science! GSCN #gscn2024

What an exciting day 3 of the #GSCN2024 Conference in #Jena with keynotes from Camilla Forsberg Forsberg Lab and Thomas Zwaka Zwaka Lab , GSCN poster prizes, and a public event with @SinaBartfeld Claudia Waskow Heiko Lickert @OlePless and Stefanie Mahler GSCN . 3 days
