So excited to share our first paper from the lab! Brandon Bastien found that alpha and gamma neurexins are BOTH needed for a foraging behavior in C. elegans!! Check out the open access paper for more info!! rdcu.be/dswhD

I'm excited to share that my third and final first author paper from my PhD thesis work is now available at Aging Cell! This was a fun collaborative project with Gareth Howell and Erik Bloss labs at The Jackson Laboratory! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac…

Interested in Alzheimers Disease - check out this tenure track position posting @UmassChanNeuro. This is a great opportunity for an Assoc/Full Professor to join us here and advance AD research. #FacultyPosition #UMassChan

Grateful to have had the opportunity to present at the AMP symposium in DC with Kellianne Alexander about the cool work the Young-Pearse Lab is doing! It was amazing seeing all the data and findings these programs have produced, and excited to be a part of it!

Let me highlight and contextualize our new study that will undoubtedly be controversial: ‘Most axonal mitochondria in cortical pyramidal neurons lack mitochondrial DNA and consume ATP’. Long thread 👇🏻 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Such an amazing thesis defense! Congrats Dr. Benoit! Young-Pearse Lab

Today, I’m thrilled have our lab’s work featured on the cover of nature In this article, we have developed a therapeutic approach for a severe condition called Timothy syndrome. This has been a long journey. It started with making hiPS cell-derived neurons in 2D cultures 15

Thrilled to attend Brigham and Women’s Research Neuroscience Day! Great talks and posters! Huge congrats to my talented lab mate Gizem Terzioğlu for winning the poster award – well-deserved! 🧠🌟

🎉New lab preprint! 🔥🔥work by super postdoc Alison Philbrook. C. elegans sensory neurons have gorgeous #cilia at their dendrite ends. We’ve always thought that a) no cilia = no sensory responses, & b) no IFT = no cilia. Punchline is we thought wrong. Read on for more. 1/6

Incredibly honored to be invited back to the UMass Boston McNair Scholars graduation event! It was wonderful to reconnect with fellow alumni and hear the inspiring stories of current Scholars. #mcnairscholars
