Excited to share our first foray into preprints, led by Leah Dorman , with Phi Aoun-Nguyen and many others, describing a novel yet familiar microglial subset. more details to come at the other end of peer review:) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our work on evolving a family of AAV capsid variants for potent systemic muscle-directed gene delivery in mice and non-human primates (NHPs) out now in Cell. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. 1/10

My team has just updated our already large database of PhD/Graduate fellowships and graduate student research funding opportunities. We found 200. For each fellowship, we provide link, description, deadline, eligibility, etc. Download here: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op…

Thanks to the Kavli Foundation for helping to fund our research and giving me this opportunity to talk about transcriptomics and microglia, the brain's immune cells! Consider this a sneak preview for an upcoming thesis seminar :)

Awesome location with an even better colleague Ilia Vainchtein!

SSRI's have limited treatment efficacy. So what are the molecular drivers of SSRI response and resistance? In our new story Biological Psychiatry, we find that the penk/opioid system is one such driver of fluoxetine responsiveness! @ElenaYLaCiencia René Hen sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

DM if you are a grad student, postdoc or faculty who finds yourself in need of an invitation to give an informal seminar at UCSF to justify a trip to CA. We don’t have funds to offer but can provide an invitation, other organizations may have funds…

So excited to see our paper out! An incredible collaboration with @omerevah, Felicity Gore, Sergiu P. Pasca and many co-authors. How can we better model later stages of human neurodevelopment? We found striking maturation of human cortical organoids when transplanted into rats.

In Journal of Experimental Medicine, Rafael Han Ilia Vainchtein Anna Molofsky et al. define mechanisms through which IL-33 promotes microglial synapse engulfment during brain development and restricts seizure susceptibility bit.ly/3W2k1qm #Neuroinflammation #Neuroscience #microglia

Excited to announce our new preprint on infraslow oscillatory activity in the dentate gyrus during NREM sleep! Collaborative effort by Turi and Peng (Yueqing Peng ) labs. #Neuroscience #SleepResearch. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

(1/2) After several years of hard work, I'm thrilled to announce that our project, which began from the ground up, has been published in Cell Reports. This study delves into the potential role of #mastcells in #neurodegeneration, and our findings reveal that

Check out our latest neurogenesis paper by SebTuncdemirLab, Attila Losonczy, and Andres Grosmark. Adult-born granule cells facilitate remapping of spatial and non-spatial representations in the dentate gyrus: Neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Took a few detours but so glad to see my main PD work come out👇 Looking forward to venturing into related topics with my own group UConn Health Many thanks to René Hen Andres Grosmark Attila Losonczy Clay Lacefield Hannah and Victor Luna cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

New preprint from the lab by Frances Xia in collaboration with Valeria Fascianelli and Stefano Fusi! Population dynamics in the amygdala can distinguish stress resilience and susceptibility, and modulation of vCA1-BLA inputs can rescue behavioral and neural signatures of susceptibility.

Delighted to share my PhD work, now published in its final form at #JNeurosci SfN Journals! (And we made the cover 🤩) Link: jneurosci.org/content/43/50/…

Excited to share the latest story from our group in Cell and so proud of the great science and incredible dedication of first authors Leah Dorman and Caroline Escoubas Güney and all co authors (more details to follow) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thrilled to finally share this work from my PhD! Very appreciative of the amazing team that helped from start to finish, and the dual mentorship from Anna Molofsky and Ari Molofsky! Stay tuned for a thread. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
