We are moving and hiring! We have openings for multiple well-funded positions for postdoctoral fellows and laboratory technicians. If you are interested in the role of immune signaling or the microbiome in neuropsychiatric disease, please reach out! RTs appreciated!

It’s Brain Awareness Week at Sinai! Check out their events and blog posts like mine at mindatsinai.com

New lab preprint alert! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… New manuscript lead by senior postdoc Aya Osman, PhD examining the effects of dietary polyphenols on the response to morphine utilizing behavioral, transcriptional, microbial, and targeted mechanistic assays. A quick thread:

If anyone is interested in antibodies and how the Wu lab Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is using them to create a publicly available database for validated antibodies and 2D/3D mouse atlas from antibodies that we screen check out my blog post on Addgene blog page: blog.addgene.org/corralling-and…

Feeling so lucky to be a part of this amazing program among equally talented volunteers and middle school students!!

Our volunteers had a blast teaching our second lesson on Brain Development. Hungry hungry hippos or neurotransmitters in the synapse? 🦛🧠

New preprint from the lab out today! tinyurl.com/56kcbnts This paper by Becca Hofford, Ph.D. in collaboration with Yale/NIDA Neuroproteomics Center (and others) identifies microbiome effects on fentanyl taking and seeking, and links these mechanism to brain proteomic shifts. A brief thread:

Thanks for having me! It was great to chat about using Addgene's antibodies for our open-sourced mAb3D Atlas mab3d-atlas.com

Awesome overview of neuroscience and how to get started in neuro research! Love being a part of MiNDS to promote science engagement like this. A great resource – thanks @vncnttse!

Great volunteering opportunity for anyone interested in virtually mentoring high school students in STEM this summer. Science Mentorship Institute is dedicated to providing free and open-sourced research mentorship. If interested APPLY through the QR code!

Such amazing work by amazing people 🤩 can’t wait to see what’s next Aya Osman, PhD

New lab paper alert! Work by Kelsey Lucerne, PhD and colleagues finds the cytokine CSF2 is increased by cocaine in a microbiome dependent manner. Increased CSF2 signaling leads to decreased cocaine preference and altered transcriptional response to cocaine. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39098439/

Exciting stuff! Definitely check out Sam Centanni's talk to hear what we are up to! #sfn2024 #centannilab

Can't wait to share what I have been doing in the #centannilab at #sfn2024!
