The Kaufer Lab is recruiting for a staff scientist position! Please share with anyone who may be interested aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04480

My team at the Innovative Genomics Institute @igisci at Berkeley is looking for a new research associate with histology experience! Consider applying if you’re looking to work with really cool new technologies in the genome editing space. careerspub.universityofcalifornia.edu/psp/ucb/EMPLOY…

If you’re in @ISTAART , make sure to join the NSS #AAIC2023 PIA day symposium at 4PM!

@KauferLab undergraduate student, Ria Khera, successfully presented her honor thesis research on ‘Long term impact of chronic stress in hippocampal memory cells’ at the @berkeleyIB Honor Poster Session. Congrats Ria!

If you are attending #SOBP2023 and interested in learning more about our new findings on psychedelics and glia, please stop by @KauferLab posters tomorrow & Saturday!

Delighted to announce that I’ve received the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship! As @UC_PPFP fellow, I will be investigating the glial mechanisms of psychedelic medicine in the male and female brains. Special thanks to Dr. Kaufer and members of @KauferLab for their support.

Newest paper from the lab! Serum albumin-induced TGFbeta activation can drive astrocyte senescence. Important considerations for connections between blood brain barrier dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Just out! The inaugural position paper from the @NSS_PIA of @ISTAART. The group focuses on neuromodulatory subcortical systems in neurodegenerative diseases and this paper highlights recommendations for research and funding priorities. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…

50k(ish) is right! If you're as surprised by this as me and @npp_journal - you should be! Our LC is about 125% smaller than expected for our neocortex given scaling in other primates. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Congratulations to @UCBerkeleyNeuro grad student Yanabah Jaques, who received a #GilliamFellows award from @HHMINEWS! buff.ly/3oMg4XX 🎉@KauferLab @berkeleyIB

We are over the moon about @UCBerkeleyNeuro grad student Yanabah Jaques recieving a #GilliamFellows award from @HHMINEWS! This fellowship will support Yanabah's important work studying the relationships between stress and impulsivity.

A group of Bay Area scientists have unraveled some surprising secrets about post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD which one day could lead to better therapies and treatments. sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2022/02/17/sci…

Check out coverage @KPIXtv on Kim Long's study from the lab unraveling the interactions between stress behavior and regional gray matter differences. Great collaboration with @UCSF and @SFVAMC investigators Tom Neylan & Linda Chao. sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2022/02/17/sci… @UCBerkeleyNews

Interested in neuropsychiatric symptom etiology in Alzheimer's? Join me, @MikeKelberman and others for an @ISTAART webinar on Feb 10! Free to register training.alz.org/products/4257/…

I'll be presenting some neuropathologic work on dysregulation of the Ras-GTPase, Rhes, across neurodegenerative proteinopathies at #AAIC21 tomorrow! The talk (2-HO-11) will be in-person and webcast to online attendees at 1pm MT. @ISTAART @UCSFmac

The entire lab is proud to share that Dr. Kaufer has learned she is among this year's @Falling_Walls #ScienceBreakthroughs finalists! #ScienceReunitesUs falling-walls.com/breakthroughye…
