Chandra Lab

The lab had a wonderful time visiting the new neuroscience exhibit at the @yalepeabody! Congratulations to curators @aprilnpruitt, @dacolon, and everyone who worked on this exciting exhibit!

On #RareDiseaseDay2025, we want to recognize patients with Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL) and their families. Graduate student Alex Esqueda and recent grad Dr. Sofia Tieze are working to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of these rare and devastating diseases.

Excited to be at the organization meeting for the 2026 World Parkinson Congress- save the dates! @WorldPDCongress #WPC2026

Hey #SfN24 attendees- check out the Celebration of Women in Neuroscience event on 10/8 (hosted by our own Dr. Chandra!) 👩‍🔬🧠

On this #PostdocAppreciationWeek we're celebrating our 3 incredible postdocs, @VidyadharDJ @ChungJungLi1, and Na Wang! Your experience, advice, and brilliant science are invaluable to our lab!

We're thrilled to share that Sofia will be defending her thesis in just two short weeks! Come join us on 9/25 to hear about (and celebrate!) all of her incredible thesis work 🎓

Last weekend, the lab got to celebrate Dr. Chandra's Graduate Mentor award from @yalegsas! Congratulations for this well-deserved honor 🥳 gsas.yale.edu/about/awards-p…

Congratulations @angelazhaooo, who is doing incredible work with us this summer!

Keep an eye out for our new paper "Decoding transcriptomic signatures of Cysteine String Protein alpha-mediated synapse maintenance", just accepted in press at PNAS! Congratulations to Dr. Na Wang and all co-authors 🥳

Congratulations to Dr. Chandra, winner of the @YaleGSAS 2024 Graduate Mentor Award for the Biological Sciences! @YaleNeuro @Yale_INP

This #TraineeTuesday, meet @leah_harmon13, a @Yale_INP graduate student in the @SChandraLab! She was recently awarded the K. Patricia Cross Future Leaders Award at the 2024 annual meeting of the American Association of Colleges and Universities @aacu in Washington DC. 🥳 [1/5]
