@stemcellreports @YuChingtzu @MCW_CBNA @martinperaJAX This was an amazing group effort with @AOIPLab Joe Carroll and Dana Merriman on assessing integration of hIPSC retinal neurons in normal and damaged 13LGS retinas. A huge thanks to the U24 mechanism by @NatEyeInstitute for supporting our work!

Recently published: Human iPSC-derived photoreceptor transplantation in the cone dominant 13-lined ground squirrel. @YuChingtzu, @LabLamba, @MCW_CBNA @MartinPeraJAX #retinaldegeneration #stemcells #iPSCs #animalmodels ow.ly/Iz3x50QAj49

Congratulations to our @LabLamba postdoc @KandoiSangeetha on receiving the @_BrightFocus postdoctoral felowship on Macular Degeneration Research for her project on the hibernating cone-dominant 13-lined ground squirrel as a model for macular degeneration.

@Levi_J_Todd @ScienceAdvances Amazing work Levi and group!! Really cool looking RGCs. Wonder if they survive a long time if they do not find their targets.

Our newest endeavor to regenerate neurons from glia is out now @ScienceAdvances. In this paper we try and coax Muller glia to regenerate retinal ganglion cells (Brief overview below) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@BenSSajdak @ARVOtvst @ucsfhealth @KandoiSangeetha Thanks Ben!!

@ARVOtvst @LabLamba @ucsfhealth Nice work @KandoiSangeetha @LabLamba et al!

@mokalab1 @natcomms I know.... we should as it has been forever since we caught up.

@LabLamba @natcomms Thanks Deepak. Let’s catch up sometime.

📢 Excited to share with you our paper @natcomms! Novel mechanisms: HBEGF-TNF induce in human retina organoids a complex neuropathology with photoreceptor degeneration by PIEZO1-mediated cell extrusion – potentially relevant for 👁 AMD patients & others rdcu.be/cXR54

@small_crane @_DrKatieRose @KandoiSangeetha Amazing Job Shereen on persisting with the project and explaining all the crazy back story on how we got there.

Congratulations to @KandoiSangeetha on being the people's choice winner at the UCSF postdoc slam! Outstanding job!! So proud of your accomplishment!

@KandoiSangeetha @AOIPLab @YuChingtzu 🤞

Postdoc Slam Finalists Announced postdocs.ucsf.edu/news/postdoc-s… Deepak @LabLamba, Twitterless Dr.Dana Merriman, Joe @AOIPLab & @YuChingtzu & extremely thankful to our Fav Squirrels 🐿 who threw limelight on us 🎶💞😇🎊

@FrontalCortes I really need to stop slide typing on my phone.... those typos are insane😂

@FrontalCortes It would be great to you could share the file. Also, there is a NIH repository for 3d prints to share. 3dprint.nih.gov lots of useful on it.

Everyone behold my beautiful #3Dprint creation! A colander for free floating tissue. 🤩🤩🤩

@kkkkkchuang Congratulations!!

I am honored to be selected as 2022 NIH Outstanding Scholars in Neuroscience Award Program (OSNAP) receipient. Can't wait to attend the Award Symposium this fall and meet all the recipients at NIH!

We have another manuscript up based on some amazing pain-staking work over a few years by @small_crane in the lab. Her final hurrah from the lab prior to embarking on her grad school experience. So proud of her! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@AOIPLab @YuChingtzu @_GroundSquirrel @MinaGaffney @JennaGrieshop @Brea_D_Brennan @H_Heitkotter I completely agree!! Great job and looking forward to seeing where the squirrels take us!!

@YuChingtzu @LabLamba @_GroundSquirrel @MinaGaffney @JennaGrieshop @Brea_D_Brennan @H_Heitkotter And, you gave a rockstar talk!! Great way to kick off your ARVO experience!!

First ARVO #ARVO2022, it was so fun listening and learning from posters and talks. Thank you all for all the support and help for making this project possible. It is such an honor to work besides so many talented and intelligent researchers. @LabLamba @AOIPLab

@LatorreLab @SimoLab_UCD So sorry to hear that Anna. I hope you recover quickly. Best Wishes!

I have Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a nasty type of shingles. Waking up one day with half my face paralyzed was terrifying and the recovery is slow and painful but I'm so incredibly thankful for @SimoLab_UCD and all our friends ❤

We still have open positions in the @LabLamba for postdocs interested in iPSC-based disease modeling. Anyone interested in growing mini human retinas for developmental or disease modeling please DM me or email me at deepak.lamba@UCSF.edu

@rushika_perera @ASCBiology Congrats Rushika!

Still a little shocked and so grateful for this recognition! Thankyou @ASCBiology and to my past and present teachers and mentors who taught me everything I know! Hoping to pay it forward to the next generation of budding cell biologists!!! 🙏👩🏽‍🔬🧫🔬
