We are looking to hire a postdoc! Opportunities to use innovative techniques to address fundamental questions about neuron-glial interactions in the developing brain. Candidates from broad scientific backgrounds encouraged to join our team! Please RT 😀 sloanlab.org

This work is only possible because of amazing collaborators @yezhangyezhang @BhaduriLab @FaundezLab, funding @EmoryHERCULES, and support @EmoryGenetics @EmoryMedicine

New lab preprint led by incredibly talented postdoc Maureen Sampson. Full thread at 🦋! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In the US, approximately 2.5% of pregnant women exhibit high blood Lead (Pb) levels (!!!) What is the consequence of this on the developing human brain?

New lab preprint! Head over to 🦋 for the full thread!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is all possible because of an amazing scientific collaborative team @Vidhya1227 @CorcesVictor @BingYaoLab @EKNduom @KimberlyBHoang (and many more) and our funders @sontagfdn @NIH_NINDS @NIMHgov

We hope this work will be useful to many in terms of new discoveries about astrocyte maturation and also gliomagenesis. Differentiation therapies may one day be possible if we continue to learn the rules that move cells along their lineages towards quiescent fates.

Very excited to share our lab's latest work exploring the shared and divergent aspects of human astrocyte development and glioblastoma. This effort spans many fields from developmental glial biology to stem cells and tumor biology. rdcu.be/d5ADz A 🧵(also come to 🦋!)

What an incredibly ORGAN-ized event! 🧠 We were thrilled to partner with @EmoryUniversity's @BrainOrg_Hub Workshop, where participants learned all about brain #organoid culture. Thank you to everyone who attended—we can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!

@TarunNBhatia1 @AmericanCancer So deserving, Tarun! Such exciting and important work ahead.

One of the most wonderful privileges in academia is the opportunity to share science with others. Last week the @BrainOrg_Hub had the joy of hosting amazing scientists from all over the world for our first Brain Organoid Workshop. What a success!!! @fikribirey @jimena_andersen

What a pleasure it is to have these talented participants here to learn all about Brain Organoid generation and applications this week!

@fennamk @meschro Very cool, Fenna! Can't wait to dig into this.

As a recovering neuronal chauvinist I was amazed at the glial heterogeneity revealed by the brilliant @meschro in this project. We find extensive customization of astrocytes across development and between species. Why, how, and when does this happen? Let us know what you think 🧐

@cm_tringides @techreview @RiceNeuro @RiceMSNE @RiceEngineering Whoa!! 🔥🔥🔥

Thrilled to be on the 2024 @techreview 35 under 35 Innovator list !! Excited to build on this work, as part of the fabulous and supportive @RiceNeuro @RiceMSNE @RiceEngineering technologyreview.com/innovator/chri…

@Sergiu_P_Pasca @Stanford Whoa, time flies! Happy Birthday, Pasca lab!

Hard to believe, but our lab at @Stanford celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. It feels like we started just yesterday, yet so much has happened. Here's a quick selfie with this remarkable group of scientists, working with more enthusiasm than ever to unravel the mysteries of the human brain and its disorders. Warmest salutations to the many lab alumni scattered across the world!
