Meet our newest faculty member Linlin Fan, who is advancing all-optical methods to study learning and memory. picower.mit.edu/news/new-picow… #neuroscience #MIT #brain MIT Science MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences

Working in #DIPG research in the Monje Lab has afforded me numerous invaluable moments, and today's anniversary was genuinely heartbreaking and memorable.

Honored to be included in this amazing group of scientists! #DIPG

Very excited to announce that I'll be starting a laboratory studying the biology of homeostasis as an assistant professor in the Department of Developmental Biology (Dev Bio @ Stanford) at Stanford University in July! allenlabstanford.org

Maladaptive myelin changes on dopaminergic axons after morphine use modify reward circuitry to give rise to drug-seeking behavior in mice. Final version of study led by Belgin Yalcin out today! #OpiateCrisis nature.com/articles/s4158…

Amazing work! Congrats to Belgin Yalcin Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦 and the team!

A monumental milestone in #DIPG #DMG research/treatment by Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦, @MackellLab, and the team!

Excited to welcome Howard Chang to Amgen 🧪🔬🧬 as our new SVP for Research & CSO! A pioneering physician-scientist, Howard’s expertise in genetics, oncology, & inflammation will help us push the boundaries of discovery. We’re excited to embark on this journey together to redefine the

In collaboration with Reuben Saunders, Jonathan Weissman's Lab, and Xiaowei Zhuang, we are very excited to release Perturb-Multi: a platform for pooled multimodal genetic screens in intact mammalian tissue. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A moment in time: Dieter Oesterhelt passed away in Münich on this day (November 28) in 2022. He identified the 1st microbial rhodopsin more than 50 years ago, with far-reaching impact that could hardly have been imagined. laskerfoundation.org/in-memoriam-di… The picture was sent to me by

Monje Lab holiday party ❄️☃️ I love this brilliant crew!

Mind blowing paper from the Garcia lab by the one-and-only Karsten Householder ! Congratulations to the entire team! De novo design and structure of a peptide-centric TCR mimic binding module biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proud to share early work from my 1st year in the Garcia Lab! 🧬 the tldr: in just a few months, we go from computational design —> real cancer-specific T cell engagers! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to winners of The Brain Prize 2025! Professors Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦, Stanford Medicine and HHMI Investigator, and Frank Winkler, Heidelberg University Hospital, have pioneered the field of Cancer Neuroscience. They have revealed a profound connection between cancer and

Congratulations to these two outstanding physician-neuroscientists! Many people now are familiar with the fascinating fundamental research of Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦, but most people probably don't know she is a truly great physician. I'm fortunate to be inspired by her every day, in

#Cancer research needs #neuroscience and neuroscientists. Sharing some thoughts on #CancerNeuroscience, together with Frank Winkler. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Delighted to share our most recent #CancerNeuroscience study, led by brilliant postdoctoral fellows @RDrexler and@ADrinnenberg, exploring the interactions between midbrain cholinergic neurons and diffuse midline glioma #DMG/#DIPG. 1/ cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
