We were honored to host the undergraduate interns from @MassGenBrigham’s Laboratories for Computational Neuroimaging for a lab tour and explore the #BroadDiscoveryCenter together. We geeked out on 🧠 science and had a panel on how to navigate careers in science. 1/2

Thrilled to see six incredible scientists named as new core institute members at @broadinstitute! Special shoutout to our very own @macosko, co-director of the CHBV! 🌟 Congrats to Gad Getz, @AnnaGreka, Nir Hacohen, @bmneale, and @pardissabeti too! 👏

🎉Congratulations to our esteemed neuroanatomist, Chuck Vanderburg, on receiving the 2024 Staff Scientist Distinction Award for Scientific Collaboration! This is yet another testament to his remarkable track record in fostering scientific partnerships. We couldn’t be more proud!

We're thrilled to see CHBV’s @freeseek82 research featured in a @NatureGenet Research Highlight by @SafiaDanovi! Giulio’s paper examines the genetic causes and health implications of mosaic loss of the X chromosome in females. 👏 Read the highlight here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

At our second seminar last month, we welcomed @shyam_lab for an insightful talk on spatial and single cell diversity of cells and humans. In case you missed our event, you can watch it here: 🧬🧬🧬youtube.com/watch?v=EJlLgY… ! 🧬🧬🧬

Congratulations to the Center for Human Brain Variation's own co-Director @s_mccarroll for this amazing achievement!! We are so proud of you and all of the other new HHMI Investigators! 👏

Dive into an exploration of spatial algorithms with Shyam Prabhakar🧠 We are thrilled to host @shyam_lab on 6/11 for a special live-streamed talk on spatial and single cell diversity of cells and humans! All are welcome, register @ broad.io/CHBVSeminar

Save the date! The registration link is live for our second seminar on 6/11 at 10:30 AM (EDT), featuring a special talk by Shyam Prabhakar, PhD from the Genome Institute of Singapore! Register now using this link!: broad.io/CHBVSeminar All are welcome to this hybrid event!

Today, May 22, is International Day for Biological Diversity! Today is extra special for us- our work is dedicated to expanding the understanding of brain biodiversity, and genetic diversity is a key part of this. Read below to find out more!

Excited to share this discovery: Huntington's disease is a DNA process for almost all of a cell's life. Inherited HD alleles are innocuous, just unstable – CAG repeats slowy expand throughout life, acquiring toxicity only when quite long (>150 CAGs). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 May is #AsianAmericanPacificIslanderHeritageMonth, and we're excited to celebrate! This month, we honor the incredible contributions, achievements, and cultures of #AAPI members. We appreciate how diversity drives scientific excellence! #DiversityInSTEM

Breakthroughs in brain disease depend on studies using donated brains. One #brain can provide tissue for dozens – sometimes hundreds – of studies. In honor of annual National #BrainDonationAwarenessDay, consider this simple gift and learn more braindonorproject.org
