🎉Officially a PhD Candidate! 🎉 Thank you to my PI Jimena Andersen, my lab, my committee, and all the students & post docs who took time out of their schedules to help me prepare for my qualifying exam! It was tough but, I PASSED ✔️

It is my honor to announce that I have made history as the first black woman to receive a PhD in Physics from Georgia State University! During this journey I attained: BS MATH MS MATH MS PHYSICS MS Computer Science PhD Astrophysics

A little late for #fluorescencefriday but I wanted to share! Rabies tagged motor neurons (green) in 3 spinal cord organoids surrounding skeletal muscle (center).

#fluorescencefriday I engrafted astrocytes (gfp-🩵) into a spinal cord organoid for the first time! I stained for other astrocytes markers: GFAP (💛) & SPARCL (🩷)

Happy #BINW24 My name is Nuri! I’m a PhD candidate Emory Genetics and Molecular Biology in the Andersen lab. I study functional and transcriptomic alterations in motor neurons and astrocytes in spinal cord organoid models of ALS #BlackInNeuroRollCall

Tomorrow is Day 3️⃣ of #BINW24 and we are bringing you 👏🏽professional 👏🏽development 👏🏽skills! Join us for our interactive Python coding workshop! ✨ It’s not too late to register! Just click the link below! 🙌🏽🧠 🔗 blackinneuro47.wildapricot.org/event-5771083

That’s my bestieeee 🫶🏾💕

Soooo excited and honored to be selected for the ARCS Foundation Inc. Scholarship Award 🎉 (Definitely trying to be like to my science educator role model Neil deGrasse Tyson ☺️)

#blackinchemrollcall #blackinchem #blackinchemweek2024 hello everyone!! My name is Justin and I am now a 2nd year MD-PhD student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Official. I will begin pursuing my PhD in Biochemistry next summer (very excited)! Looking forward to seeing some old and new friends this week!

Our inaugural Emory Brain Organoid Hub Workshop is underway! We have 10 participants visiting us from as far away as Japan and Australia.🌏 This immersive, hands on workshop is focused on iPSC-derived organoid cultures. What would you want to learn? 🧠

On Day 3 of the workshop we learned about iPSC/organoid QC, assembloids, transcriptomics and genomics! In the lab, we dislodged D0 embryoid bodies and immunopanned for neurons and astrocytes from D200 cortical organoids!

Hey that’s me!

Congratulations Tarun 🎉

Yesterday, I had privilege of personally thanking and sharing my science with my amazing donors (The Donnell Family in the second picture). Thank you to my PI Jimena Andersen, my bf 《J₩G》, and my dear friend Roy for your constant support 🫶🏾ARCS Foundation Inc.

Y'all I'm on the phone with another scientist right now who is about to publish this data, take the braids with the plastic out RIGHT NOW. TAKE IT OUT. TAKE IT OUT. TAKE IT OUT. DAMN. I will share the research when it comes out.

We're excited to announce that the Brain Organoid Hub is hiring! If you, or someone you know, has an interest in working with stem cells and brain organoids as a Research Specialist, please feel free to apply 🔬linkedin.com/jobs/view/4126…

These funds keep the lights on. They pay for rent/lease, equipment, maintenance, as well as core facilities and biorepositories that are needed to - do the research. The research literally - doesn’t happen without it.
