Our lab @StJudeResearch is recruiting! We have postdoc and technician positions available. Please apply (links below) if you’re interested in neural differentiation and maturation during brain development and disease focusing on novel concepts of mRNA and cytoskeletal regulation
We're happy to announce that @MareikeAlbert is now a Professor of epigenomics of neural development 🥳 Congratulations! Read more➡️ tud.link/ygrg95
I am looking for a technician to work in my lab in beautiful Sioux Falls. We have really exciting projects related to embryonic brain development and neurodegeneration. We use: mouse models, CRISPR, microscopy and omics analyses. Send me a DM or reply to the ad in 🧵. Please RT
Five Scripps Research professors, including @nani_grotjahn, @RaphaelPark7, @LippiLab, Joseph Jardine and @_ShannonMMiller, have received funding from the Bachrach Family Foundation to advance research on TB, autoimmune diseases, and gene therapies. More: ow.ly/8rq050TjnyB
Happy to share our work about how neurons re-utilize gene expression regulators to directly control cytoskeletal dynamics. We found that the nucleating component of the Exon Junction Complex, EIF4A3, acts non-canonically as a microtubule-binding protein to regulate axonal growth.
I am thrilled to share our new publication!! Using mice, organoids, live imaging and biochemistry, we show the RNA binding protein EIF4A3 directly binds and controls microtubules to promote axon growth. Thanks to super talented @alsina_fc and an outstanding team of collaborators!
I'm thrilled to announce that the Irala lab is now open at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital @StJudeResearch! We'll investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of astrocyte-neuron communication and how synaptic balance is achieved and maintained during brain development
I am thrilled to share that I have joined @StJudeResearch as a faculty member. The Alsina lab is now open and studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms of brain development in health and disease, with focus on RNA and cytoskeleton regulation.
Debra Silver, PhD, has been honored with the 2024 Javits Award from @NIH for her groundbreaking work on intellectual disability and autism. Her research on radial glia cells continues to illuminate the complexities of neurological disorders. @TheSilverLab medschool.duke.edu/news/debra-sil…
