Why Is Discovery Research So Important? @UCSFstemcell member Grae Davis unpacks how big breakthroughs happen and why public understanding of science matters: magazine.ucsf.edu/why-discovery-…
I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting my lab at @washumedicine, Department of @washu_pathology as an Assistant Professor this month. The lab will study the role of innate immunity in neurodegeneration and brain aging. We'll be hiring at all levels. Details soon!

Today in @Nature! Researchers led by Drs. @homamajd & @FaranakFattahi introduce a platform based on human #pluripotent stem cells for therapeutic development targeting GI motility disorders. 💡 Learn more: go.nature.com/3Ta1PeN
🚨Fascinating study⏩Engrafted #NitrergicNeurons derived from #hPSCs improve Gut dysmotility‼️ @Nature🆕🔥 📢Human pluripotent stem cells-derived #ENS platform for #therapeutic development targeting GI motility disorders #EntericNeuropathies #DGBIs👏 @homamajd @FaranakFattahi…
Check out our new paper led by the brilliant @homamajd! Grateful to our fantastic collaborators for their insights and teamwork.
Our ENS is vital to gut-brain health. When it breaks down, so does health. Treatments? Almost none. Access to functional human enteric neurons at scale powers research, disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. Grateful to everyone who made this possible.nature.com/articles/s4158…

Joining forces with Babak Alipanahi, @DavisCompGen, @AidenSababi & @MKarimzade to bring you Exai-1; a multi-modal cell-free RNA foundation model for blood surveillance and liquid biopsy. Kudos to the broader @exaibio team for getting this across the line. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Check out our new preprint by the amazing Mona Khalaj et al!
Can you do high-throughput functional screens directly on patient-derived macrophages? We did it for glioblastoma (GBM)! Thrilled to finally share our latest work from the Weissman and Fattahi labs, now on bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Thank you, Madhu! Grateful for the opportunity to visit you and your incredible colleagues at @MayoClinicGIHep. Truly inspired by the outstanding science and exciting discussions!
Had an awesome time hosting @FaranakFattahi for our motility visiting professorship. Phenomenal work on hPSC based models to interrogate ENS function and possible therapies. Very inspiring. Great company too! @MayoClinicGIHep @ANMSociety @esnm_eu @RomeFoundation @UCSF
The Moslehi laboratory is recruiting a post-doctoral fellow with a PhD in immunology or molecular biology. See below! nature.com/naturecareers/… Below information about the lab: cardiooncologylab.ucsf.edu Interested candidates can email me with CV! [email protected]
When women scientists connect and lead, the whole field moves forward. @UCSFPath's Carolyn Sangokoya saw a gap and built @MDPhDEquity to change that. Through mentorship and collaboration, she’s creating a stronger future for women in science. tiny.ucsf.edu/m4DOTy
