Ryann Fame, PhD

Congratulations to Sarah on passing her qualifying exam! A new PhD candidate is minted!

📃Preprint alert @biorxivpreprint . Does your 2026 involve ICV injections of AAVs 🧠? If so, this study led by Luke in the lab is for you. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

Dose is key🗝️. Higher doses of AAV (1uL of 4 x 10^12 GC/mL) consistently induced ventriculomegaly and permissive tropism in neonates, while moderate doses (1uL of 1 x 10^12 GC/mL) didn't. Study led by Luke Liu, with co-authors Ania Noguera, Ryan Humphries, and Blake Zhou.

Such a joy to celebrate with this group! Happy holidays from our lab to yours! 🧠☃️🥼🧪

Parvathy and @MarkGoldbergMD at our #SfN25 poster this afternoon. Come say Hi at A28 #microRNA #cortex #evodevo

Will you be at @SfNtweets #SfN25? Yes? Us too! Come see the Fame lab!

Third Annual Dish Dish Dish to enjoy each other's company and celebrate a love of science! 📡 🗣️ 🍽️ @StanfordNsurg #ScienceMatters

Today, we celebrate Ania Noguera's time in the lab. On her last day with us, we are so excited about her transition to @UCBerkeley - but will miss her expertise here! 🧠

@NREFORG Congrats Andy!

Congratulations to Dr. Andrew Hale, 2024-25 recipient of the NREF & Academy of Neurological Surgeons Research Fellowship Grant! His NREF-supported research led to a lead-author publication in Science Translational Medicine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… A well-earned honor and a significant contribution to neurosurgery—congrats, @andrewthale3!

Stepping out of the lab to enjoy some artistic pursuits!

Excited to share ‘Molecular hallmarks of hydrocephalus’ out now in ⁦@ScienceTM thanks to our incredible team! ⁦@KahleKristopher ⁦@ScienceDame⁩ ⁦@LabFame⁩ ⁦@mad_lancaster⁩ ⁦@LehtinenLab⁩ ⁦@Phan_Q_Duy⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Molecular Hallmarks of Hydrocephalus @ScienceTM is out today. Grateful to work under leadership of @andrewthale3 @ScienceDame @KahleKristopher with other top-notch collaborators including @LabFame members Arjun Rajan and Blake Zhou! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Led by @ScienceYael and out today in @NatureNeuro: the brain's fluid-secreting organ — the choroid plexus — can reshape neural development through a powerful, little-known process. & it can be hijacked by serotonergic drugs like LSD. 🧠👇 A thread rdcu.be/eoaSY

How does the brain change during the day🌞🌛? Can this inform treatments? Learn more in a new review from the lab 'Harnessing the #circadian nature of the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid' npj Biological Timing & Sleep | #Nature @Nature_NPJ nature.com/articles/s4432…

If you study #devbiol of hearing, smell, or taste - this faculty job at at @StanfordOHNS could be for you! 🫵👇

Are we at a turning point in robotics? New interview with @chelseabfinn founder of @physical_int: we talk about pi’s approach to robotics foundation models, generalization, data generation, humanoids, and comparisons to self-driving. links 👇

So excited about this paper! Congratulations to all authors! Enteric glutamatergic interneurons regulate intestinal motility: Neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

This is illegal. The courts put a restraining older on halting NIH funding and the federal register is making an end-run around that, killing new grants or renewals. Unchallenged, it’ll lead to layoffs of scientists & support staff. Will disrupt nondilutive biotech funding too.

@ScienceYael and Blood-CSF barrier!!😭

RIP blood brain barrier research I guess
