Congrats to all friends involved! In situ sequencing of expanded samples goes live!

The answer to life's biggest existential question: how do I expand this cell?!

Soma-GCaMP, a cell-body-targeted calcium sensor. Published after a two-year dance with Reviewer #1… 🥰 Luckily, we had a fantastic team working on this. Online now: cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

SomaGCaMP plasmids are available through Addgene! Here's the link: addgene.org/browse/article… Many folks reached out asking about Cre-dependent versions. They were cloned and are now being tested!

Excited to give a TEDxMIT talk! I'll discuss why we are failing to solve Alzheimer’s disease and how technology can reverse this failure. To avoid making a TED-VirusSpread, we were each filmed individually. December 20th, 2020, 11 AM - 4 PM ET. See link! tedxmit.org/fall-2020-brid…

The Counter Disease Eng㏌eer㏌g group is open㏌g its doors! Excited to start a group ㏌ the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh．We focus on mak㏌g new technologies to study and reverse bra㏌ DISEASE．😘 First two postdcos jo㏌ed! neurobio.pitt.edu/people/or-shem…

TEDxMIT talk, Deciphering the Alzheimer’s Enigma Using Technology. The big news: this was the first time I wore pants since the pandemic happened youtube.com/watch?v=W6nwvJ…

I'm excited to launch my group in the Departments of Chemistry and Biological Sciences at the U of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) this fall as an Assistant Professor! I look forward to working with my wonderful colleagues and students at UIC. Chemistry at UIC UIC Department of Biological Sciences UIC Liberal Arts and Sciences

We wrote a book chapter! First try as a corresponding author. The chapter, in Methods in Molecular Biology, describes how to gain single cell light control over neurons, in culture, or a brain slice, or in-vivo link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Infectious Neurodegeneration Come check out our poster showing the link between expression of Herpes Simplex Virus proteins and pathologies of Alzheimer's disease. Vanesa Hyde from my group is presenting! Session : 275 When: 11/14/2022 8:00:00 AM - 12:00:00 PM.

Viruses cause Alzheimer’s! And tau is antiviral! 🧠 Our Cell Reports study shows tau fights Herpes in the brain, reducing viral spread & protecting neurons. Should we help tau instead of blocking it? Read more: surl.li/ypymnk 🧪✨ Congrats Vanesa & the team! #Alzheimers
