Happy holidays from the Escayg lab!

@JCWong_PhD Yay, congrats Jenn!!

The Wong lab will be opening September 2024 in the Depts. of Human Genetics and Pediatrics (CCNR) at Emory University! The lab will study the development and progression of pediatric epilepsy over the lifespan, with the long-term goal of developing better treatments!

@JCWong_PhD Congrats Jenn!

Excited to share that we're now funded to study the relationship between epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease! 🤓🐭

Happening soon! Stop by posters from the @EscaygLab! 1.002 effect of status epilepticus on brain extracellular vesicles and 1.053 to hear about increased SCN8A activity in AD! 🤓 The Escayg laboratory is also recruiting post docs, so come by and meet us!

Stop by posters from @EscaygLab tomorrow! 1.002 effect of status epilepticus on brain extracellular vesicles and 1.053 to hear about increased SCN8A activity in AD! 🤓 We’ll be there from 12-2!

Excited for #AES2023! Stop by my poster 1.053 on Saturday to hear more about the detrimental effects of increased SCN8A activity in Alzheimer’s disease!

Excited and grateful for the opportunity to present our work on treatment development in SCN8A-derived epilepsy this evening at the SCN8A Gathering! @EscaygLab @TheCuteSyndrome @DEE_Pconnection

@DullaChris @TuftsMedSchool @HaydonPhilip Congrats Chris!

Happy to share that I’m now the interim Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at @TuftsMedSchool. I’m excited to continue @HaydonPhilip’s amazing work that established the department as a leader in neuroscience research. Multiple faculty searches coming soon - stay tuned!!

A bit delayed, but congratulations to Dr. Shiu! @thomasShiu1

We show that lack of full-length ADGRB3 results in reduced brain/body weight ratio and impaired social interaction! Congrats on another 1st author paper, Thomas! @thomasShiu1 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

@YangYangPhD Congrats!!

Today I received the official letter indicating I have been promoted to associate professor with tenure!

@jjloverp Congrats!!

Excited to receive the official promotion letter to Associate Professor! Many thanks to all the support I receive from my department, school, colleagues, collaborators, faculty mentors, trainees, and evaluators! Still years to go to be tenured.

@BingYaoLab Congrats Bing! Well deserved!!

Will be Assoc Prof this Sept, thanks for all the support from mentors, colleagues, friends and family. Special thanks to all past and present lab members.

@ConeckerGabi That is terrible Gabi, sorry to hear this.

Another typical blood draw with my poor boy where nurses fumble around to find a vein only to stick him over and over with no success. 8 needle pokes in 3 appendages and still not enough blood to complete all the required tests. #SCN8Asucks #RareEpilepsy #rareadisease

Stop by poster 2.335 today to hear about our functional characterization of ATP6V0C! Tomorrow, come by 3.277 to see the latest work on our nanoparticle-encapsulated NPY formulation!

We're at #AES2022! Let us know if you want to meet up! Come check out the latest work from the Escayg lab: posters 1.059 (BCL11A), 2.335 (ATP6V0C), and 3.277 (nanoparticle-encapsulated NPY)!

Hey #neurotwitter! Will you be in #Nashville for #AES2022? Join us (and @TheNotoriousEEG, of course) for a tweet-up! Sunday 12/4, 5:30 - 7:00, Music City Center Rm 211 (conference badge required to attend). #epilepsy
