Excited to share our recent publication, spearheaded by postdoc Jengmin Kang, exploring a fundamental driver of #aging at the interface of #metabolism and #epigenetics! Depletion of SAM leading to loss of heterochromatin drives muscle stem cell ageing pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38243132/

Please consider donating! If not, please share/repost! The Dup15q Alliance alliance and the Dup15q patients/families/community that it supports are deeply important to me. I have worked on Dup15q syndrome for close to 12 years now, having patched my very first patient neuron in the

We're so excited to offer this course in Atlanta this Fall. Open to interested scientists all over the world with many great hands-on learning opportunities. We are especially interested in candidates who are new to this space or hoping to bring organoid biology to their labs!

Happy to say our paper on SynGAP1 "SynGAP regulates synaptic plasticity and cognition independently of its catalytic activity," is out today in Science. The results of this paper surprised me and will have a significant impact on therapeutics for SRID. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Important work from the thriving Quiver Bioscience identifying compounds to rescue TSC in human neurons. A great new framework for phenotype discovery and high throughput drug screening applicable to a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders! (proud member of the Quiver SAB 🙂)

These organoids maintain thymus functionality and mediate physiological T cell development upon reaggregation with T cell progenitors. Huge thanks to all collaborators L. Francisco Lorenzo Martín, Jakob Langer, Thomas Bartlott, Lucie Tillard, Paul Rouse, Clare Blackburn and Georg Holländer!

Excited for this new adventure! Stay tuned for more info about job openings and collaborative opportunities
