A while ago, I learned that I would receive the 2022 Cogan Award from @ARVO. I am very grateful for this honor and proud of the lab members whose work it recognizes. Shortly after I was notified, I came across this headline. I just thought I’d mention it.

Congratulations to @WUSTLdbbs's own Sabin Nettles Sabin Nettles (Gabel Lab), recipient of the 2021 Pre-/ Post-Doctoral Next Generation Award from the Society for Neuroscience (Society for Neuroscience (SfN))! Well done! Read more here: ow.ly/P7jf50G77EA #DBBSProud #BlackinSTEM #WomeninSTEM

We can “actually watch the flies learn in real time,” says Dr. Paul Shaw, professor of neuroscience. Read Jenna Krizan, PhD's article about his latest study in Sleep Sleep Research Society. neuroscience.wustl.edu/enhanced-sleep…

Congratulations to Tristan Qingyun Li, PhD @TristanLi_lab for receiving the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation grant! The funding will support his research on the link between maternal-derived immune cells and neurodevelopmental & psychiatric disorders. neuroscience.wustl.edu/tristan-qingyu…

In a new study led by Jenna Krizan, PhD, we explore the origins of direction selectivity in superior colliculus and its contributions to predation, identifying behavioral multiplexing of complex feature preferences. bit.ly/49YwYZl

In a new study led by Michael Fitzpatrick, we describe a pupillary contrast response in mice and humans, which senses temporal contrast to enhance spatial contrast in the retinal image and increase visual acuity. We decipher the underlying neural mechanisms. bit.ly/3w8ieIV

I will be presenting our work ‘A genome-wide in vivo CRISPR-screen identifies neuroprotective targets in retinal degeneration’ at #ARVO2024 at 3:30 pm, May 7, welcome to visit and look forward to your feedback!
