Stay tuned for an ✨interactive atlas✨ that will enable a deep dive into aSyn intensity and density throughout the brain 👀 Of course, thank you to my amazing co-authors and funding sources that made the project possible 💪 @maximewc @MXHend @ASAP_Research

Interestingly, aSyn was detected in ALL neurons in the myenteric plexus of the stomach and duodenum. Although some cells were quite bright whereas others were dim…

Check it out! 🧐 We used our recently developed Snca-NLS mouse to map alpha-synuclein topography throughout the adult mouse brain, spinal cord, retina, and gut. ✨Pretty images below: nature.com/articles/s4153…

Today's the day! Come check out my poster @CAN_ACN #70 to learn more about my work on nuclear #alphasynuclein in #Parkinsonsdisease 🧠 #CAN2022 #WomenInSTEM

On my way to Toronto for #CAN2022! Excited to share my work on Sunday 😁 Huge thank you to @CAN_ACN organizers, it's going to be a great weekend! 🧠

Couldn't think of a better way to end the #synuclein2022 conference than to hear I got a CGS-D scholarship from @CIHR_IRSC!! #WomenInSTEM

Such a pleasure presenting my data at #synuclein2022 this week! Incredibly exciting to exchange ideas with scientist from around the world! #WomenInSTEM

I have been having so much fun talking about #nuclearsynuclein this week at the #synuclein2022 meeting! Big thanks to everyone who made this possible! #WomenInSTEM 💪🧠

Dear students, please see below for an exciting job opportunity for soon-to-be PhD graduates / postdoctoral fellows at the uOttawa GEM core. The deadline to apply is this Friday, April 15th.

Dr. Martin Kampmann, a professor at UCSF, will be giving a seminar on March 22nd at 12pm and we are hosting a trainee-only meet and greet at 1pm. Join as a group to talk with Dr. Kampmann about his research or to ask any other questions! Sign up using the link sent to your email.

The CMM GSA is excited to present the 2021 Halloween Party on October 29th! A barbecue will be between 11-1:30pm (mandatory sign up below for attendees) and there will be a Halloween party 1:30-3 pm in the RGN grad lounge and atrium. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

8/8 Thank you to everyone who helped with the paper! A huge thank you to all core facilities at uOttawa, OHRI, and Baylor College of Medicine! And thank you to the agencies that funded this research! #Parkinsons #synuclein #womeninstem

7/8 We then turned to mass spectrometry to analyze cortical proteins in our mice. Here, we found a significant decrease in proteins involved in dopamine signalling. This suggests that disrupted dopamine signalling pathways may underlie nuclear aSyn toxicity in PD.

1/8 I am excited to announce the publication of my first research article in @bioRxiv! As such, here is my #tweetorial of the publication: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
