@ZuckermanBrain @shadlen @americanacad @Columbia Congrats Mike!

Congratulations to our own @shadlen, MD, PhD, who was elected to the @americanacad! This recognition celebrates excellence and leadership in the sciences and across disciplines. Learn more about Shadlen’s research on decision making: zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/why-do-thought…

Pulsed #lasers integrated with #cryoEM: @FitzpatrickLab @ColumbiaBiochem @ZuckermanBrain postdoc Daniel Du aims to boost contrast for near-atomic detail in #cryoET @ChanZuckerberg zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/making-world-s… zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/science-life-d… elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

@FitzpatrickLab @ColumbiaBiochem @ZuckermanBrain @ChanZuckerberg Congrats on developing this transformative approach!

Neuroscientists are always looking for new tools that can bring the brain into sharper focus. For postdoc Daniel Du, that means shooting lasers at state-of-the-art microscopes to take better snapshots of molecules that are the building blocks of the brain: zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/science-life-d… #scilife

@ZuckermanBrain @eLife @Cornell An epic approach!

How do you make one of the best microscopes in biology even better? Postdoc Daniel Du of the Fitzpatrick lab zapped electrons with a laser. The new research in @eLife with @Cornell's Maxson lab promises improved close-up snapshots of the brain: zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/making-world-s…

@gouki_okazawa @roozbeh_kiani Very exciting!

Just posted a new paper from data we collected in @roozbeh_kiani lab. Huge thanks to Roozbeh for the continuous support! Inferotemporal cortex encodes formation and termination of perceptual decisions biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

We are looking for a talented neuroscience research technician to join our lab at Columbia University! This is an ideal position for a recent college graduate interested in pursuing hands-on research for 2 years before applying to PhD programs. opportunities.columbia.edu/cw/en-us/job/5…

The Zuckerman Institute and the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University (@columbiaps) are hiring a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Neuroscience. Candidates should have demonstrated creativity and productivity. Labs will be in the Jerome L. Greene Science Center. Apply by November 22, 2025: bit.ly/columbianeuro

@UChicago_Brains Congrats @marlenecohen!

Congratulations to Professor Marlene Cohen, PhD, for being the inaugural recipient of the Robert H. Wurtz Award and Lecture in Systems Neuroscience! Dr. Cohen will present a lecture at the NIH on Sept 4, at 3 pm (ET). Read more here: neuroscience.uchicago.edu/marlene-cohen-…

@FitzpatrickLab @ZuckermanBrain Epic!

New "Mindscapes" exhibit @ZuckermanBrain featuring #cryoEM structures of #TMEM106B #amyloid fibrils (doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…) & the ligand-bound human sweet receptor (doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…) from the Fitzpatrick (fitzpatrick-lab.org) & Zuker (zukerlab.com) labs.

@UTSWBrain A major win for UT Southwestern - and lots more excellent and exciting science to come from Attila and team!

Welcome to Attila Losonczy, M.D., Ph.D., who joins OBI to lead our new Program in Memory Longevity! He is a pioneer in systems and circuit #neuroscience, and has made foundational contributions to the understanding of how the brain encodes, consolidates, and retrieves #memories.

@IshmailSaboor Way to go neighbor!

I am happy to share that I’ve been awarded tenure here at Columbia University. Alhamdulillah. I thank my wife, parents, mentors, colleagues, friends, & family. I thank my lab members, present and past, for entrusting their careers in my hands and making this a thrilling journey.

@FitzpatrickLab @WUBin10069342 @Structure_CP @AndrewNChang @pixelbaumarkt @Intein @cryosparc Transformative!

Forward-looking preview by @WUBin10069342 to our latest paper @Structure_CP by @AndrewNChang highlighting the power of #AI in #cryoEM of patient-derived samples: tinyurl.com/tu2fyvme Paper: tinyurl.com/3cycffzm Thanks to @pixelbaumarkt @Intein for #crYOLO, & @cryosparc

@FitzpatrickLab @DuXDaniel @cziscience Congrats on this transformative work!

New preprint from @DuXDaniel @FitzpatrickLab shows #femtosecond light pulses can lens electron beams, promising higher contrast in #cryoET and better aberration correction in #cryoEM biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Experiments made possible by support from @cziscience #ImagingTheFuture

@ShinichiroKira @PsychologyFSU @FSUNeuroscience Awesome news! Congrats Shin!

Excited to start a new lab at Florida State University this summer! @PsychologyFSU @FSUNeuroscience We’ll study how the brain enables generalization to support decision-making in novel situations. KiraLab.org We’re recruiting—please RT or share with anyone interested!

This year's Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience Conference brought current fellows, past fellows, and distinguished advisors together for cutting edge science, discussions, and community-building.

@FitzpatrickLab @ColumbiaBiochem @CellCellPress Wow! Major congrats to team Zuker and Fitzpatrick!

Over 20 years ago, Zuker et al. discovered the mammalian sweet taste receptors Now, an exciting collaboration between our labs @ColumbiaBiochem reveals the #cryoEM structure of the human sweet receptor-key to sweet taste perception-online @CellCellPress! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
