Can brain function be simulated using just the connectome? We show in a new study led by Philip Shiu that a leaky integrate-and-fire model based on the FlyWire connectome and neurotransmitter identity accurately predicts complete sensorimotor transformations.

Excited to share my research drama with everyone. Please join me in the Quance theatre (Education building), USask campus, May 25th, 2 PM. Everyone is welcome.

tl;dr? we have a new strategy for endogenous cell-type-specific POSTSYNAPTIC labeling in flies! it's versatile, friendly, leakless, and we'd love to share it with anyone! out today in Cell Reports Methods so check it out! cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Insects do have a brain, and we study it! Single cell RNA sequencing on the CNS of Anopheles gambiae is the most thrilling task I've tackled up to now. Check out my most recent results I presented at the Conference Jacques Monod on Insect Models for Infection Biology.

We're hiring! The Rao lab at Johns Hopkins Medicine is looking for one or more postdoctoral fellows w expertise and interest in membrane transporters, mammalian cell physiology, organoids, Ca2+ and pH signaling and more! Apply to be part of our team. #postdocjobs Please share 🙏🏽

.PTRC and Mitacs are investing $6.05 million in funding for University of Regina and other Saskatchewan universities from 2024 to 2028. The funds will support researchers and streamline the start-up process in the sustainable energy sector. ow.ly/an8l50QE7eg @GordWyant Government of Saskatchewan

One of the most successful years for USask grants, one of them being our lab.

Fly people, is anterior to poster the correct terminology to describe cephalic and caudal region of the fly? Or is anterior actually ventral and posterior is dorsal? An anatomy specialist objected to the conventional terms used in the fly model. #Drosophila #FlyPeople

I had an amazing experience at the Neuroscience Symposium organized by the Neuroscience cluster of USask Medicine U of Saskatchewan. I was also happy to place first in the podium presentation category. Got to have supper with Caroline Menard from CERVO, learnt about her research journey.

Amazing to see this as a protein biochemist.

Excited to attend #CEVSS2024 this week and share my research. Thank you @ucalgaryvetmed Merck RoyalCanin for the invitations and sponsorship, and WCVM Today for nominating my name.

#CEVSS2024 is officially on with an impressive pharmacological talk on natural antiparasitic compounds isolated by Brielle Rosa of @ucalgaryvetmed with the help of indigenous knowledge keepers. Fascinating mix of #Chemistry and #OneHealth. Merck Animal Health RoyalCanin

Great talks and conversations at #CEVSS2024. Team of us USask DVM and Graduate students presented our work. Thank you for hosting @ucalgaryvetmed. A picture of us WCVM Today U of Saskatchewan students.
