Exciting to see Kelsey's paper from the DiAntonio/Milbrandt labs on STMN2 & TDP-43 on bioRxiv. She observes synergy between the two alleles resulting in an early onset, progressive motor deficit in mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @TargetALS_fdn @WashUGenetics @ALSCenterWashU

@MsRGreen17 @CarlaPingel Are you taking all of the 5th graders too? I think we all signed field trip waivers at the beginning of the year?

The new Neuroscience Research Building at Wash U. Day 1 for the DiAntonio and Milbrandt labs. To new neighbors, new collaborators, and new discoveries.

It's happening!!! The DiAntonio and Milbrandt labs are moving down the street to the new Wash U Neuroscience Research Building. If you are interested in axonal degeneration, neuroimmune or neurodegeneration come join us. Preference to those that can help unpack on Monday!

We love the Pizza Mac and Cheese!!!

@wggifted This is for middle school. mathcounts.org

“One key benefit of participation in national and international math contests is that kids from New York to Hong Kong to Ash Fork, Arizona can connect with global peers, and engage in the common pursuit of MATH!” thekidstory.com/math-contests-…

@kmaessuman @MGHNeurosurg @ChrisAWalsh1 @BostonChildrens Much deserved honor...Congrats!!!

@jmaz Maybe live tweet the Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature to build back up your portfolio.

Congrats to James O'Connor, DiAntonio Lab postdoc, for being awarded the Larry Sandler Memorial Lecture for his PhD work in the @PageMcCawLab . The lecture will be given on the opening day of the 63rd annual Drosophila Research Conference (GSA). Congrats James!!! @WashUGenetics

WashU NeuroPrep is now open for submissions. This program will provide 2 year competitive stipend in addition to training and attendance to conferences for recent graduates aiming to apply for PhD programs in Neuroscience. Please RT and help disseminate! neuroprep.wustl.edu

@ohambiguity Wash U has several programs that come with stipends. Here is a summer neuro program. endure.wustl.edu

🚨 📢 I have incredibly talented undergraduates looking for summer research opportunities (esp. in northeast) with engaged PIs doing behavioral/molecular/dev neuro work - any leads? Paid or unpaid (we have some mechanisms for providing stipends!) but must be willing to mentor!

Applications open in December for NeuroPREP — a two-year post-bacc program to prepare recent college graduates for graduate training in Neuroscience. The program launches Summer 2023. Scan the QR code below for more information or to apply. @WUSTLneurosci

The Milbrandt and DiAntonio labs are excited to be part of the launch of the INTERCEPT pain program at Wash U. led by @robgereau. If you are interested in peripheral neuropathy and pain come join us.

Beautiful paper from Andrew Yoo's lab on Huntington's disease and autophagy in directly reprogrammed patient derived cells. nature.com/articles/s4159…

2 new papers in JCI from the DiAntonio/Milbrandt labs shed new light on Sarm1’s role in neurodegeneration. 1)Chronic Sarm1 activation leads to macrophage recruitment that plays a role in axon degeneration. 2)Eliminating Sarm1 slowed AXD in a model of CMT. tinyurl.com/27f5udjm

@jmaz Duke is 2-0 under their new coach if you are looking for a new bandwagon to jump on.

Fascinating new paper on signaling molecules produced by bacterial TIRs from the @ThomasVe7 and @Kobe_Lab_ labs. Congrats to @manikrpc and all the authors including Mark and Neha from the DiAntonio/Milbrandt labs. @WashUGenetics @WashUONR @HopeCenterWUSTL @WashUDevBio

Congrats to our leader, Aaron DiAntonio, for being awarded a 2022 Excellence in Mentoring award from the WUSTL neuroscience community!!! neuroscienceresearch.wustl.edu/education-even…

WUSTL's new neuroscience building is coming along as the FINAL beam is being installed!!!
