I’m excited to share my first first-authored paper from my #PhD work, out now in @FrontiersIn Cellular Neuroscience! We explored intrinsic properties of retinal ganglion cells which may contribute to their different responses in #vision: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

My tenure at @1910Genetics has allowed me to make significant contributions on our journey to becoming a leading drug discovery company. Now I'm taking our work to the next level as the Head of AI Research and ML Engineering. Lets make undruggable targets a thing of the past!
1910@1910_ai

Three years ago, Brandon Moore became the first employee at @1910Genetics and joined us to realize the vision of making undruggable targets a thing of the past. Today, we announce that he has been promoted to the Head of AI Research and Machine Learning Engineering.

These findings may offer insight into key physiologic differences that cause some RGCs to degenerate more quickly than others in #glaucoma and lay the groundwork for future targets for #neuroprotection

We found that sensitivity to potassium underlies differing excitability and action potential shapes in aON-S and aOFF-S RGCs. Interestingly, elevating potassium concentration shifts the responses of aON-S cells to resemble those of aOFF-S at baseline.

This was such a wonderful opportunity! I really enjoyed getting to share some of our work in front of many of my science idols
Sarah Naguib, PhD@naguib_sarah

So proud of @EyeBoal who last-minute subbed in for Michael Risner @iserworld @_BrightFocus this afternoon! Andrew talked about human RGCs cultured in multiple conditions and how the morphology of their axon initial segments changes depending on their environment 🧫👀🐭🧠

My first first author paper investigating the spatial segregation of neurotransmission is finally out! We demonstrate a novel use of photobleaching, and demonstrate the spatial organization of different modes of neurotransmission. elifesciences.org/articles/76008

I could not be more excited to share that I will be joining the @LiGanLab at @WeillCornell as a postdoctoral researcher this coming August!! I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to study a new neurodegenerative disease outside the retina in such an amazing lab!

Honored to be selected for "Best Poster" of AAO 2021. Wouldn't be possible without mentorship of @jllindseymd and Dr. Mattingly encouraging research in eye health equity. Excited for a small contribution to a more just eye care future @VUMCEye @macularstar
