Had a great time at my last SfN of my PhD! I really appreciated all the insightful discussions at my poster and learned so much at all the talks! @SfNtweets #SfN24

At SfN? Stop by posters 119 and 120 this afternoon to hear about how Carboxy-terminal modifications on progranulin can improve AAV-progranulin gene therapy!

@AvramRago Aw Avram you’re hyping me up 🤓

@akcook4 Go Anna!!

Stop by my poster tomorrow to hear about how progranulin insufficiency influences inflammation in response to TDP-opathy! October 6th from 8-12, poster C13! #sfn2024

Our paper on cryptic splicing-controlled protein expression, which we hope will inspire safer and more adventurous gene therapy approaches for ALS and FTD, has been published in @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I had such a great time at the @isftd conference! It was wonderful learning about clinical and basic research, and everything in between. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to present my research and connect with new and old friends! #isftd2024

@cgarrettwilson @Nature Wow, this is so awesome!!! Congratulations Garrett!!

🏆 @GamecockWBB ARE YOUR 2024  NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 🏆 #NationalChampionship

@alanacjones_ Wait why is this so accurate 😂😭

Match Day #7

@DayLabUAB @klbrida @NIDAnews Congratulations @klbrida!!!!

Congratulations to lab MD/PhD superstar @klbrida, who just received an NOA for her F30 NRSA from @NIDAnews!

Me and the girlies after finishing MD-PhD/residency/fellowship/postdoc

My favorite @SfNtweets so far! I saw so much amazing science, gave my first nanosymposium talk, and spent time with so many new and old friends.

@MNDOxford @BVahsen Congratulations!!

Many congratulations to Björn @BVahsen from the group, who has received the Felgenhauer Research Award 2023 for Young Neuroscientists, presented by the German Neurological Society in Berlin last week, for his work on motor neuron-microglia interactions in #MND #ALS

@OscarWilkins16 @MaxZYJChien @ClaireLePichon @ule_lab @FrattaLab Every time I hear about this project I think it’s the coolest thing ever!! Awesome job!!

New BioRxiv paper on using cryptic splicing to unlock precision gene therapy activation for ALS, FTD & other TDP-opathies! Key contributions @MaxZYJChien Josette Wlaschin +many others from @ClaireLePichon @ule_lab @FrattaLab labs and more. A thread 🧵 1/13 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Want to deliver gene therapies broadly, but activate them only in diseased neurons? TDP-REG "hacks" TDP cryptic mis-splicing to drive expression only WHEN and WHERE needed! Less toxicity, wider therapeutic window, new options for sporadic ALS therapies. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

If anyone is up early at SfN tomorrow, come check out my talk at 8:30! I’ll be talking about my mouse model to study how progranulin insufficiency is related to TDP-43 pathology!

I loved being able to attend the @_BrightFocus Alzheimer’s FastTrack! The talks were fantastic and I was thrilled to be able to connect with so many peers and mentors. Now on to SfN! 🧠

@mahoney_kc @MarkRCookson1 That’s awesome Casey!! Congratulations!! 🎉

WELL. After significant consideration, I have decided to pursue my postdoc in the lab of @MarkRCookson1 at the NIH! Get ready for more trolling for the next ???? years!

@AltmanTopaz This is absolutely horrifying, Topaz. Thank you so much for your efforts to protect Israel, praying for safety and that this ends quickly. Stay safe 💕
