We are looking for a bioinformatician to work on an exciting project! Retweets appreciated.

If you are interested in studying protein turnover in models of neurodevelopment disorders, my lab would love to host you! Get in touch

Dear all, the first version of our website is now live glianetwork.org.uk!!! Stay tuned for more updates later today

Are you a researcher transitioning to independence? Our MRC Board and Panel Observer Scheme offers the opportunity to learn how our boards work and develop your research application skills. Places will be prioritised for underrepresented groups. More: orlo.uk/NJNsW

Lubert Stryer (1938—2024) "pioneered fluorescence methods for measuring distances within macromolecules, elucidated the visual signal transduction cascade, and helped develop DNA microarrays." Read more about his life in a new #ScienceRetrospective: scim.ag/72r

Neurofibromatosis (#NF1) is a neurogenetic syndrome associated with learning impairments and a predisposition for glial tumors. We find that NF1 mutation causes an intrinsic deficit in oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) differentiation. A thread 🧵 1/ nature.com/articles/s4159…

Some great news!

An excellent tool for every lab! Congratulations to all

Now online! Our first preprint showing that the loss of FMR1 affects human and rat oligodendrocytes! Mega-collaborative work supported by SIDB. Grateful to everyone involved especially to Vidya Ramesh Ioanna Kougianou Eleni Tsoukala and @odando !

Axon adaptation to tension, out today Current Biology. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jlO93QW8S6G… Kudos to Sara! Thanks MAroso and Paulo de Castro Aguiar for the AxonStretcher, TSilva and pedro brites for membranes, J&CVieira for transcriptomics, and the younger crew i3S-Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde.

We are looking for postdocs funded by an ERC starting grant to investigate the mechanisms of cortical predictive learning! Opportunities to use in vivo whole cell recordings, 2-photon imaging VR for mice, and more. Please reach out if you are interested! elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

The Li Lab is launching on January 1, 2025 and is currently recruiting at all levels! Our research will utilize transparent zebrafish larvae, ideal for in vivo imaging, to study neuron-oligodendrocyte interactions. For more information, please visit: jiaxinglilab.org/contact/

PhD studentships applications to join SIDB are open!
