I am excited to share our work in which we conducted a CRISPRi-based screen to assess 102 Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) risk genes in microglial uptake of synaptic material! (1/7) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
She never fails to inspire me with her positivity and dedication to helping others through science. Join me in supporting Margaret, spreading awareness of synovial sarcomas, and eating pasta!
CRISPR has the potential to cure many genetic diseases, but it’s notoriously hard to use in neurons. In this work we tackled 2 of the main hurdles: Cas9 delivery and DNA repair. And we discovered… The rules of genome editing are different in neurons👇🏾 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
UCSF's Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases is hosting an open house on November 15, 4-6pm for interested rotation students. Come hear flash talks from each lab and afterward socialize with lab members! See you there! Registration: forms.gle/inFDHPeRwbAWNa…
Yes! In addition to upholding transparency and truly promoting scientific dialogue, this new publishing landscape will stand as a great training resource - reading peer reviews will surely help trainees, like myself, think critically about their own research
Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions. By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/5…
Are you a future postdoc or incoming @UCSF grad student interested in neurodegenerative disease? Join the Open House of the @INDUCSF to learn about our research and meet PIs and current trainees. Register for online participation by Sept 19 here: forms.gle/URgGeWvgy5DAvC…
Are you an incoming @UCSF grad student or future postdoc interested in neurodegeneration? Join us for a hybrid Open House Sept 20 to find out about research at the @INDUCSF and meet current trainees and faculty! Pls register by August 26: forms.gle/URgGeWvgy5DAvC… See you then!
Amazing - this work reflects exactly why @DraegerNina inspires me; it’s fearless, thoughtful, and bright. Cheers to you, @sydsat, the whole @KampmannLab and @LiGanLab teams, and microglia, of course!🎉
It’s out! Our @NatureNeuro paper introducing an iPSC-Microglia protocol and screening platform that identifies modulators of microglia functions and states: “A CRISPRi/a platform in iPSC-derived microglia uncovers regulators of disease states.” nature.com/articles/s4159… 🧵(1/15)
Leaving beautiful Colorado with new friends, fresh ideas, and unparalleled excitement to study molecular mechanisms of synaptic pruning. Thank you organizers and amazing scientists at #KSNeuroImmune22!
