After three months, we did our first genotyping PCR! Such a milestone to celebrate with the whole lab! Thanks for all your hard work to make our new lab running!
Can’t believe it’s been almost a year! What started as a solo journey @EmoryGenetics has grown into an incredible team! Grateful for each member and excited for the discoveries ahead!
Congrats @Bajikarlab !!! Honored to be part of this important work and grateful for the fun collaboration!
I am pleased to share our recent interdisciplinary studies seeking to understand how changes in MECP2 levels cause the severe childhood neurological disorders Rett and MECP2 duplication syndrome! cell.com/neuron/fulltex… genomemedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… academic.oup.com/hmg/article/33…
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at @TexasChildrens and collaborating institutions have gained new insights into the molecular changes leading to Rett syndrome. bit.ly/401eaFl #BCMResearch #RettSyndrome
Very excited to be hosting Oliver Hobert (not on here) from @Columbia with @angalus_d and @BrainJZhou to give to talk about Neuro in C. elegans and participate in class with the @emorygmb students
Come be my colleague! The Dept of Cell Biology @EmoryUniversity is recruiting a developmental cell biologist. 🔬Do you study mechanisms of development using cell biological (and other) approaches? Join us!🔬 TY for RT! jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/664684/ten…
It was great to host @YinShenLab for a seminar and to sit in on class with the @emorygmb students. Amazing what we learn when writing truly functionally characterize GWAS variants. @angalus_d @BrainJZhou
Congratulations @Junnan_Fang! Great opportunity for trainees interested in centrosome biology!
Thrilled to share that I will join @OhioState as a tenure-track assistant professor in Dept. of Cell Biology & Physiology in Jan. 2025. We will explore novel mechanisms of centrosome regulation in development and disease. Hiring at all levels! Please help RT.
It was fantastic to host @KonopkaLab to visit @EmoryMedicine and learn about the amazing science going on in her lab!
It was really amazing to host @KonopkaLab at Emory University for a seminar and to sit in on class with our @gmbstudents this week. Fabulous seminar and insightful discussion of the science with our students. Thanks! @BrainJZhou @angalus_d
Announcing the 2024 SPAI postdoc seminar season @bcmhouston. Happy to share that 2 of our inaugural 2023 SPAI speakers are now #newPI. SPAI's vision is to promote the next generation of future faculty who would also be good mentors! Apply by Sept 15th. form.jotform.com/241756255206153
Received our first federal funding from @NINDSfunding to study a new chromatin complex and its roles in neurodevelopment and autism! With this support, we are looking for motivated postdocs to join us at @EmoryMedicine @EmoryGenetics ! More info: jzhoulab.mystrikingly.com/#home
Happy to share our latest preprint where we report interesting properties of the understudied "big tau" isoform that appears to evade pathological changes in the brain 🧠 1/n 🔗 to our @biorxivpreprint preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Great opportunity!
Our lab is growing and we have openings for #postdoc and #technician. Please get in touch if you are interested in #RNA regulation in #neurons or #gene expression studies. RT or share. Learn more on our lab website: thedaslab.org
Kudos to our graduate student Gaea for receiving Scholarship Funding from @smsprisms to attend the 11th SMS Research Symposium in Dallas, Texas, this July! Look forward to traveling with you and sharing our work on #TCF20 disorder! @EmoryGenetics @emorygmb @EmoryMedicine
Congratulations to our chair @pengjinATL for being named @aaas Fellow (along with 9 others @EmoryUniversity) "distinguished contributions to the field of neurogenetics and neuroepigenetics" #fragileX news.emory.edu/stories/2024/0…
Earlier this month, Dr. Ami Klin, Director of the Marcus Autism Center, presented to the @UN about ways to ensure equal access to essential technologies for people living with #autism.
It’s a great honor to be with Dr Mattson @NIHAging @JohnsHopkins at his Brain Ponderings podcast for general audience interested in neuroscience. Our conversation on microglia goes quite deep. Thanks Dr Mattson’s insight questions and tremendous efforts! youtu.be/oL0Hj8ddMEg?si…
Great opportunity!
The Andersen lab and Emory Brain Organoid Hub are looking for a motivated Research Specialist to contribute to a project generating and characterizing region-specific organoids and assembloids derived from ALS and control hiPSCs. Join us! social.icims.com/viewjob/pt1711…
Our new postdoc brought us the BEST gift from China, saying one for each lab member @EmoryUniversity! I guess she’s trying to motivate me seeking funding to support those 6 future trainees☺️
Thank you all for the hard work. It’s amazing how similar dog and human meningioma are. texaschildrens.org/content/resear…
