The lab's first paper, "Probing multiplexed basal dendritic computations using two-photon 3D holographic uncaging," is now online at CellReports (cell.com/cell-reports/f…). Congrats to Shulan Xiao and Saumitra on an outstanding and exquisite effort 👏. Purdue Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Research at Purdue

Hit the mark at this #OptoGRC2024 session 🎯 Led by Ian Antón Oldenburg with Rosa Cossart, Mark Histed-🧠 Lab, Dmitry Rinberg, Amy Monasterio & @harshida_rp - you won't want to miss this one!

On my way to Optogenetics Gordon Research Conference looking forward to all the great science. My lab is looking for postdocs, if you’re interested (or interested in learning more) let me know. I’ll buy you a coffee! Related, anyone know where the close espresso is?

The Oldenburg lab is hiring. We’re especially interested in hiring electrophysiologists for a new project. We use holographic Optogenetics to answer questions about the motor system. Let me know if interested.

So incredibly proud of my (twitterless) postdoc Masashi Hasegawa for being awarded the BBRFoundation NARSAD Young Investigator Grant! Masashi is brilliant and independent, and has come up with an amazing project to work on next!

We've gotten some good news grants recently, and now have some funded projects that are looking for postdocs to champion them. All projects use Holographic Optogenetics to study motor systems. Especially looking ephys, optics, or systems neuro people. oldenburglab.com/positions/

How is V1 activity read-out to determine the presence of a visual stimulus? Our study using targeted 2-photon optogenetic stimulation in a detection task found that mice use a simple unweighted read-out strategy (1/6) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud of this important work on how thyroid status impacts the brain and behavior. Led by postdoc Dan Hochbaum who assembled quite a team urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

Very happy to receive this award alongside amazing colleagues who are actively changing the academic culture 💛

Come to Rutgers and be my colleague! jobs.rutgers.edu/postings/234089

Getting ready to head to Chicago for the pre Society for Neuroscience (SfN) conference 'Barrels'. I'm looking forward to some great science, but also I'm looking to recruit! If you're looking for a postdoc using fancy optical tools for neuroscience questions, let me know. I'll buy you a coffee!

Excited to share that my postdoc work is now on bioRxiv! We identify a role for spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons in control of locomotor behavior.  biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Early-stage investigators proposed #innovative high-impact research ideas for the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award. See the projects the awardees will pursue: commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator/A… #NIHHighRisk

Ian Antón Oldenburg and Santiago Cuesta congratulations!!!! Go Rutgers University and Rutgers Brain Health Institute faculty kicking butt!

I'm thrilled and honored to have received the 2024 Director's New Innovator Award from NIH Common Fund !! Excited for what's to come at Cuesta Lab! Thanks to all my mentors and students! Rutgers University Rutgers SAS #NIHHighRisk

Thrilled to be awarded the NIH Director new innovator award (DP2). I'm so excited for all the cool things we'll be working on. As always, thanks to mentors, Rutgers University and my home Rutgers CABM for all the support. With this, we're hiring! Reach out for postdocs if you're curious

What a year with the lab ! Papers, graduations, grants, a startup, new projects, and tenure ! so proud of my team, but also very thankful for my friend and colleague Jose Rodríguez-Romaguera who made me a custom celebratory piano bench !

~30 years of research in non-behaving animals argue that bilateral touch integration likely occurs downstream of primary somatosensory cortex. We reveal the state- and task-dependent logic that unlocks communication between S1s through the corpus callosum. nature.com/articles/s4159…
