Happy to share our work describing microglial SYK in models of AD and MS. Thanks to all of the amazing coauthors! ⁦ cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Gorgeous paper highlighting in-depth microglial SYK signaling in AD. Congrats Shoutang WANG and The Colonna Lab!

Congrats to the most amazing colleague/friend Kristine Zengeler - it’s time we know more about the mysterious and magical placenta 😍

The Big BAM Theory...in the paper Immunity by Simone, we described the Crybb1-Cre line, which recombines embryonic-derived brain macrophages. Using this line we showed that microglia require SMAD4 for development, whereas BAMs do not. cell.com/immunity/fullt…

Important findings from UVA researchers on how to better treat spinal cord injuries, looking at the immune system’s response role over time. Thanks to UVA’s Andrea Francesca M. Salvador and her team on moving this important work forward: news.virginia.edu/content/immune…

Excited to share our work in the Gibson lab at Stanford University published in Neuron! We show that the circadian factor BMAL1 regulates oligodendroglia and myelination, contributing to sleep regulation. cell.com/neuron/fulltex… 1/13

Congrats Andy and team!! 🥳

Touting the UVA as one of its biggest strengths, Outside Magazine has named Charlottesville as the fifth-happiest place to live in the United States. bit.ly/3PT9kWs 😁

Dr. John Lukens is chasing a cure for diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in his lab at the University of Virginia. He told @presjimryan about it on his podcast, “Inside UVA.” news.virginia.edu/content/inside…

Had an amazing time at the neuroimmune Keystone Symposia which was made even better by a reunion with BIG_UVA friends. Loved seeing you all present some stellar science!

Extremely honored to be working as a postdoc with BrightFocus Foundation on this project. Thank you for the support! science.brightfocus.org/alzheimers-dis…

Check out this exciting new paper from our lab!

Happy to share our work on hippocampal inflammasome signaling. Thank you to members of the lab for critical experimental support, BIG_UVA colleagues for input, and John Lukens for baller mentorship - it's been an honor working with you all! cell.com/immunity/fullt…
