Check out our latest publication in Science describing a novel molecular mechanism involved in emotional experience dependent behavioral adaptation! Thank you to my mentors @MakotoTani1 @ChristophWCowan the lab and the authors @ResearchMUSC @neuro_MUSC science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚨 The Mallah lab is hiring! If you're interested in Neuroinflammation and Traumatic Brain Injury, please consider joining my lab by applying using the link below. 📢Feel free to share or tag someone who might be interested. Apply here: tinyurl.com/3zufzan4

@GhanemAnthony @UMMC @UMBaltimore Omg very well deserved alef mabrouk!!!

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Assistant Professor of Otorhinolaryngology- Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. @UMMC @UMBaltimore

Excited to be applying to the Ophthalmology match this cycle. As a postdoctoral scholar at the Casey Eye Institute, my work merges corneal imaging, OCT, and clinically useful AI. Looking forward to connect with the community! #OphthoMatch #Match2025

@KhalilMallahPhD @MedUnivSC @CharlestonVAHCS Congratss!!!

I am excited to share two new updates: I’ve joined the @MedUnivSC as an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Pharmacology & Immunology (with a dual appointment in the Dept. of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine), and the VA @CharlestonVAHCS as a Research Health Scientist!

Please RT: My lab in the Neuroscience Dept at MUSC is hiring a technician. We study oligodendrocytes — unique non-neuronal brain cells — using cutting-edge imaging. Recent grads especially encouraged to apply. Feel free to reach out! #neurojobs musc.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/MUSC/job/Charl…

@DrFadloKhuri @americanacad @AUB_Lebanon Congratulations!! The heart and soul of AUB 👏

I am greatly honored to have been elected to the @americanacad. Being recognized for collaborative, mission oriented work done at @AUB_Lebanon is especially rewarding. The opportunity to serve where I can make the greatest difference has always driven my professional decisions.

Exciting new paper out today from the Cowan lab describing the novel role of SCN4B (and HDAC5) in relapse-like drug seeking! @ChristophWCowan @MUSC_COM @ResearchMUSC Epigenetic Control of an Auxiliary Subunit of Voltage-Gated Sodium Cha... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@meganjfrancis @alexcwsmith89 @neuro_MUSC Congratulations!!!!

Thrilled to have received a notice of award for my F31 “Therapeutic potential of psilocybin on stress-cued reinstatement” this morning! Extremely grateful for the support from my mentor @alexcwsmith89 and @neuro_MUSC 🧠🍄🐭

@dr_alexharris @ChristophWCowan @MakotoTani1 @neuro_MUSC Thank you!!

@RM2Akiki @ChristophWCowan @MakotoTani1 @neuro_MUSC Congratulations!!!

I defended my PhD!! Thank you to my mentors @ChristophWCowan @MakotoTani1 for making a better scientist out of me, @neuro_MUSC , the lab, my committee, my friends and family for always supporting me! PS: not in a liberal arts PhD, still a scientist 👩🏻‍🔬

@alexbchen @CellCellPress @yu_guoqiang Congrats!! great work!

Excited that my co-first author manuscript is now out @CellCellPress! Special shoutout to Xuelong Mi, @yu_guoqiang’s group who did all of the development of this fantastic tool, which I’ve applied to segment neuromodulatory and astroglial calcium signals. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@MakotoTani1 @ChristophWCowan @neuro_MUSC Thank you for all the support💜💜

Our student @RM2Akiki did an excellent job on her defense!! Thanks to co-mentor, @ChristophWCowan, our lab members, and @neuro_MUSC for the warm support and encouragement. It was a wonderful day to celebrate an important step together.

Our study, led by @RM2Akiki with @ChristophWCowan and supported by our co-authors, reveals how long-non-coding RNAs translate emotional experiences into immediate early gene expression through R-loops and 3D chromatin loops. #core-collateral-share" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
