Chiu Lab

Looking forward to hearing from this amazing line up of scientists, especially Chiu lab postdoc @Liwen_Deng811! She has an exciting story about microbe interactions with itch neurons, and is going on the job market soon!

We wish Kim and Daping good luck as they begin new positions and progress in their scientific careers! Kim has accepted a staff scientist role at Mayo Clinic and Daping is starting up his own lab at the Institute of Neurosciences, CAS Shanghai. We will miss you both!

The Chiu Lab is bringing in the new year with good food and even better company! Lots to celebrate from the past year and plenty to look forward to in the new year. Cheers!

🚨PAPER ALERT🚨 We're excited to share @Liwen_Deng811 work below! Congrats to Liwen, Samantha, and all other Co-authors! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Congrats to our two wonderful Research Assistants, Samantha and Matthew on participating in the Second Annual Synaptogenesis RA Symposium! Thanks @HMS_Neuro for hosting such a great event!

@AltindisL @AltindisL It was super fun! We went to Muse Paintbar!

A great summary of our recent GSDME work by Zhou et al., @dukenus, and a useful outline of therapeutic modalities that could target this protein in #neuro @himanishbasu @IsaacChiuLab🧠 linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S…

Congrats on the Chiu labs most recent PhD, @dylanvneel!!! 🎉🎉🎉 Your contributions to the lab will be missed but we wish you luck finishing up medical degree!

Even though this was last month, we're still thinking about how much fun we had at the Immunology retreat! Kudos for Samantha and Matt for presenting excellent posters! Looking forward to next year!

Congrats to @EnnerfeltHannah on her 1st corresponding author paper. CARD9 attenuates Aβ pathology and modifies microglial responses in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @PNASNews #AlzheimersDisease

Thrilled to announce I received the notice of award for my F32 from @NIDDKgov! Grateful for all of the support and guidance from my mentor @IsaacChiuLab and Co-mentor Christophe Benoist.

New Insights into ALS- @harvardmed News on a new study from @IsaacChiuLab, Judy Lieberman, and colleagues, co-first authors @dylanvneel & @himanishbasu, suggesting that inflammatory proteins in innate immune system may damage neurons and could lead to ALS hms.harvard.edu/news/new-insig…

Some collabs are just fun - this is one! Congrats @dylanvneel and @himanishbasu! Bonus!! Check out this insane video included:

Thank you to terrific collaborators @LeeRubinLab @YoungPearseLab @alicechenp @TNRLab @rmgiadone and the Twitterless Judy Lieberman, Brian Wainger, Len Petrucelli, Yong-Jie Zhang and Clotilde Lagier-Tourenne. From our lab: Georgia Gunner, Matt Bergstresser and Haeji Chung.

Excited to share our work out today in @NeuroCellPress ! Congrats to @dylanvneel @himanishbasu and co-authors! We find the innate immune protein GSDME drives mito-damage and axon loss in neurons, and GSDME KO is protective in models of #ALS urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https…

Amazing new study from the Liberles lab published in @Nature, showing a role of peripheral sensory neurons in transducing influenza-induced sickness. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Was great sharing my work yesterday with the #celldeath community @harvardmed. Thanks to @j_ubellacker and @CellDeathLab for the generous invitation. Encourage anyone interested in the cell and molecular biology of disease to attend next month!
