So honored to be selected as an LSRF Life Sciences Research Foundation fellow supported by Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative . Thank you to the amazing ctmurphy1.bsky.social for her insight and guidance as I've started new projects in the lab, and to all my mentors (especially Diana Libuda) who have believed in me! lsrf.org/current-fellow…

Check out the latest from Marian Hettiaratchi's lab, where they're using modeling to optimize hydrogel compositions. This work could lead to building structures that support regenerating cells and revolutionize tissue repair. 🧬🔬 Read more: knightcampus.uoregon.edu/collaborative-…

🚀 Excited to unveil our latest breakthrough: “iNeurons” and a pioneering snRNA-seq atlas charting successful spinal cord regeneration. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The breadth of research at University of Oregon is remarkable, from AI and quantum technologies to cutting-edge earthquake science. Each of these programs is a testament to the power of curiosity-driven research, supported by U.S. National Science Foundation.

When I started my postdoc, I asked if partial reprogramming could rejuvenate aging worm neurons. It turns out, these worm OSK factors are neutral or even deleterious to C. elegans lifespan and chemosensation! Thanks to ctmurphy1.bsky.social and Rachel Kaletsky for their help and support!
