We’re hiring! Projects combine genomics, in vivo ephys and synaptic physiology to understand how plasticity in basal ganglia circuits give rise to maladaptive decision making- with a focus on models of substance use disorder and chronic pain! (1/n)

Local translation occurs in peripheral #microglial processes (PeMPs) in mouse brain, and plays a role in phagocytic cup formation New from @joeddougherty @jurassicvasek @CarpeRibosomam @sarah_koester4 @TristinaLi_Lab @DeajonJelani @jiwonyi2 et al. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Join @WashUGenetics today @ noon CDT in Connor Auditorium when Dr. Ellen Hoffman @ehoffmanlab will present, “Functional analysis of autism risk genes in zebrafish”, hosted by Dr. @joeddougherty @CarpeRibosomam

A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]

And it's official, Bernie's work is live at Biological Psych! For free access to the article till June 2nd, peep here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1gvYs1S07qGu3

@petridishes A modest proposal...

So angry and tired and sad. I hate how much heartbreak this country has been forced to be accustomed to. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

#eNeuro: @berniejmulvey @joeddougherty et al. @CarpeRibosomam found in opioid abuse-related gene, Cnih3, KO mice, up to 30% of genes are utilized differently by cycle stage in females, & cycle-wide & male-female differences are amplified by loss of Cnih3. eneuro.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

It is starting..

This paper was a great collaboration with @joeddougherty now out in eNeuro!

Applications for our Anesthesiology Summer Research (ASSURE) Fellowship Program close on Monday, Feb. 20. If you're interested in basic, clinical, and/or translational research, be sure to submit your application soon!

Doc Lab welcomed our latest Doc - Dr. Jiayang Chen @WikkyChen!! Jiayang presented a wonderful thesis on his #MYT1L studies, made his audience cry with his acknowledgement, and recognized @joeddougherty's mentorship with hand-written calligraphy! Jiayang, we will miss you dearly!

WashU NeuroPREP application is now open! This program will provide a competitive 2 year salary in addition to additional training for undergrads from URM background seeking to apply for graduate school programs. Please help disseminate and RT! neuroprep.wustl.edu

come see @kelwingfield ‘s poster tonight where she will tell u about a unique USV spectrotemporal marker she has identified for neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome that depends on genetic background & sex. Also, did somebody say kappa? 🤔 #ACNP2022 @ACNPorg @PharmBU @buCSNneuro

Congrats to @berniejmulvey of @CarpeRibosomam on being presented with the Kipnis award today for his thesis work!

Though #NS22 is the official hashtag, seems like more people are using the intuitive #SFN2022...

The project is about using this technology :pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32710817/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32300008/ for recording epigenetic states in astros. Great chance to work with three labs, learn a lot of cool genomics, and apply them to the best cells in the brain.

#NS22 @SfNtweets soon! Looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new. Also, if you are interested in a postdoc at the interface of single cell biology, astrocyte heterogeniety and epigenetic recording, DM me! @CarpeRibosomam and @papouinlab are hiring jointly!
