The Organism as the Niche: Physiological States Crack the Code of Adult Neural Stem Cell Heterogeneity go.shr.lc/4cZnePD. Excited to share the advance online version of our Ann Rev Cell Dev Biol review! @zaynanou Eleni Makarouni Biozentrum, University of Basel

Thrilled to share my major thesis project in Dr. Jeff Mumm's lab is available studying the context-specificity of regeneration of distinct cell types in the zebrafish retina journals.biologists.com/dev/article/do…

AI/ML is changing biotech, but image segmentation will always depend on signal quality. Our new paper in PNASNews presents a robust genetic strategy for brain cell counting that boosts throughput where AI/ML falls short. Check it out! 🧠🔬 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share the latest research from the lab, led by Cátia Gomes. In this study, we explore the activation of astrocytes and how this astrocyte activation both changes astrocyte function, as well as how it leads to neurodegenerative features. cell.com/stem-cell-repo…

Molecular biologists, we're looking for a new colleague at #ColgateUniversity! Applications for a tenure-stream position in a vibrant Biology department, involving teaching and research in an undergraduate-focused liberal arts setting, are due October 4. apply.interfolio.com/151097

New work out from the lab! TL;DR: we made an Opn4cre mouse line that is compatible with the Ai-series of Cre reporters, and used it to map the spatial distribution of the M1-M6 ipRGC types! Thanks to all involved! Reach out if you want the line Link: cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Next paper out today! TLDR; We identified a pathway where neonatal ipRGCs regulate immature rod pruning during development. Loads of transient events - hybrid neurites, transiently expressed receptors, and rod migration. Thanks to all those involved! cell.com/developmental-…

The University of Notre Dame is hiring a cluster of 5 new Assistant Professors in Neuroscience starting this year, focused on cellular, molecular, or computational neurobiology. Come be a colleague! More information here: apply.interfolio.com/152596 Please share and retweet!

Typical development of synaptic and neuronal properties can proceed without microglia biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Check out our paper! We identify a population of retinal progenitors that are maintained late in human retinal development, and give rise to both first- and last-born cell types in the retina, condensing 100 days of retinal development into a small region at the retinal margin!

We are hiring postdocs and PhD students! Come join us.

Our latest study is out in Science Advances! Age-related differences in the inflammatory microenvironment account for the striking variation in 🐸 Müller cell proliferation after injury across developmental stages. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 👇 Paris-Saclay Institute of Neuroscience

On my way to chair what promises to be a fantastic nanosymposium ⁦Society for Neuroscience (SfN)⁩ tomorrow at 8AM. If you are interested in retinal function and regeneration, join us and come say hi!

Come work with me!

Our paper "GABAergic amacrine cells balance biased chromatic information in the mouse retina" is now published in Cell Reports cell.com/cell-reports/f…

🚨 We’re hiring 🚨 Interested in glial biology, retina ageing and killifish? We will soon be advertising a postdoc and technician position in my laboratory. Please get in touch if interested. Picture of our new glial reporter transgenic killifish. Courtesy of Chi-Kuo Hu

It's a pleasure to share the first manuscript from my lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
