I am very pleased to have this work finally published! This is the first of several papers summarizing our collaborative work on development of mini-gene therapy for Usher syndrome type 1F, joining forces with the Corey and Sotomayor laboratories! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Aravind Govindaraju's paper in PNAS models how non-quantal transmission arises from the unusual morphology and ion channel complements at the vestibular hair cell synapse

Great to catch up with my former MD/PhD student Imran Quraishi, now on the faculty at @YaleMed at #SfN2022 and our collaborator Ruth Anne @EatockLab. Stay tuned for an exciting paper on synaptic transmission in vestibular hair cells Imran initiated. @SfNtweets @Rice_BIOE

Excited to continue my scientific journey at the Washington University in St. Louis! @WUSTLneurosci Opening this September, our lab will study how brain circuits organize incoming sensory information into meaningful collections of objects and background. sites.wustl.edu/frankenlab/

Today is day 1 of the NDCD Advisory Council meeting. Tune in to the open session at approx 1pm EST: bit.ly/3sbr9UL

Hear about changes to @NIH data management and sharing policies at approx 3pm.

Was disappointed that @AROMWM is virtual this year but happy that my grad student @acgsci nailed his talk on the mechanism of non-quantal transmission in vestibular hair cells. Great collaboration with @EatockLab. Nutshell: Extracellular electric potentials matter!

@auditory_rob @AROMWM @acgsci @EatockLab This is fantastic work!
