Excited to present new data today at the NCF Chapter of SfN meeting! This chapter is the only student-run chapter of Society for Neuroscience (SfN)!

Today we highlight the lab of Dr. Eduardo Candelario-Jalil, whose research aims to understand the molecular mechanisms of brain injury following ischemic stroke and to identify new targets for neuroprotective therapies. #MBI25_LABS

Strokes can happen to anyone, at any age. Researchers at UF strive to understand the secondary pathological biochemical events associated with stroke to make much-needed advances in therapeutic approaches. #StrokeAwarenessMonth

So glad to have contributed to @KomalBeeton's newest publication in Scientific Reports! Read more about the use of ELPs to treat cytomegalovirus infection here: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our (@CandelarioJalil) lab just published a new paper on the role of RIPK2 in inflammation following ischemic stroke in Experimental Neurology! Check it out for free here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1j3kj3IrbIN5j #neuroinflammation #ExperimentalNeurology #stroke

I’m excited to give my first talk at the University of Florida next week!

I had so much fun presenting with the other Gator NeuroScholars today for the UF Summer Neuromedicine Seminar Series! So proud of my cohort! 🧠🥳

Congratulations, Dr. Rebecca Wallings! This is such a well-deserved award! Can’t wait to see your future successes! 🥳🧠

Learn the signs of stroke on #WorldStrokeDay!

A big thanks to Kelsey Peterson and everyone who joined us for tonight's screening of "Move Me," a documentary following her journey after a spinal cord injury. Peterson hosted a luncheon with MBI postdocs before the screening and led a Q&A session with the audience after.

Fascinating listening: A podcast with @MaluTansey & Andrea Merchak on the intersection between aging, inflammation, & gut microbiota -- and how interactions between these three factors contribute to diseases such as Parkinson's. isappscience.org/episode-47-gut…

So glad to be able to continue my training at the UF McKnight Brain Institute studying ischemic stroke! Today was the last day of #ISC2025, where I presented my most recent data from my work in the Candelario-Jalil lab!

Today is #GatorNationGivingDay! All gifts — no matter the size — help us push the boundaries of discovery. Learn more about how the MBI is fueling innovative research and education by hearing directly from our community in this video. Join us today: bit.ly/GivingDayMBI

We were thrilled to welcome Greater Gainesville Chamber's Leadership Gainesville Class 51 for a tour of the MBI as part of their Healthcare Day. They visited labs and our MRI facility, spoke with scientists and heard about our research programs. Thanks to everyone who participated! 🐊🔬🧠

I'm excited to share my first first-author paper of my postdoc in the Eduardo Candelario-Jalil lab! Check it out to learn more about aged global Ripk2 KO in stroke. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thanks to the 60+ folks who attended our postdoc seminar series today! So glad to work in such a supportive environment here at UF McKnight Brain Institute!

Today, we published a protocol for using Gelatin Zymography to Quantify Levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in Complex Biological Samples, specifically cell culture media, cell protein lysate, human and mouse plasma, and mouse brain lysate! Check it out here: link.springer.com/protocol/10.10…

I’m honored to have been a finalist for the Niels Lassen Award at the @BRAINPET25 meeting! This has been such an amazing experience to meet and learn from top tier scientists worldwide!

Thanks so much to UF McKnight Brain Institute for supporting our postdoc organization during #PostdocAppreciationWeek and beyond!
