This is the first time logging into "X". My "Twitter" publicity game is dwindling into nothing. But, I do want to say I am proud that we contributed to the latest work from Brittany Davis in the Maher lab showing synaptic dysfunction after TCF4 loss.

Graduate student-elect, Mackenzi Prina and graduate student Nicole Desmet presenting some of our latest work on Akt deletion downstream of Pten at the #NBH forum at UVM. Thank you jeremy barry

Congratulations to Noah Elste for his successful defense of his honors thesis on the behavioral and electrophysiological study of the PTEN ko model. Special thanks ⁦Luikart Lab⁩ for another successful collaboration!

Thank you to Tyrone DeSpenza Jr for this beautiful work. Hopefully the first of many focused on the relationship between hydrocephalus and autism in collaboration with the Kris Kahle lab. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to announce our latest publication in PNASNews! Amazing team effort and collaboration between Kahle Laboratory and Luikart Lab! We uncover how pathogenic variants in the autism spectrum disorder-associated gene KATNAL2 impact intraventricular CSF homeostasis and parenchymal

It's official - they gave me a badge and everything.

We lost our Champion this week. Charis Eng, MD, PhD was a force and we are better for knowing her and promise to continue her legacy championing her beloved #PTEN cause. She would say “Onward and Upward!” So that is what we will do. Cleveland Clinic

I feel like a kindergartener at Christmas.

Another SFN incoming. Looking forward to seeing friends!

This image of a two-color hippocampal #brain slice is AWESOME 👀 Taken with Bryan Luikart’s new Ultima 2Pplus multiphoton microscope installed at The University of Alabama Heersink School of Medicine. Enjoy your new system! #neuroscience #brain #MicroscopyMonday

We can image PTEN in growing neurons in acute slices! We have never been able to do this without massive overexpression in vitro so I am really excited about it! Thanks, Bruker and Tom Fothergill, this scope is dialed in. youtube.com/shorts/dEIIaOP…

The one and only Tal Laviv! So proud to see your lab's first paper making waves. The PTEN sensor your team developed is a game-changer for many fields of biology. Congratulations to Tomer and all the team for such a beautiful and thorough work! 🎉👏 Sagol School of Neuroscience TAU Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences

Excited to announce our latest publication! PTEN mutations impact neuroprogenitor cell development leading to altered cortical networks and hydrocephalus. Amazing team effort Kahle Laboratory, Luikart Lab, Emre Kızıltuğ, and all of our incredible co-authors! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Today is Rare Disease Day, our community is celebrating with hopeful anticipation for better care and treatments. #pten #RareDiseaseDay2025

I am deeply honored by this recognition but must thank the many postdoctoral fellows and PhD and MD-PhD students in my lab over the years whose creativity and hard work made this possible.
