The Thomas Lab

@DeshmukhLab Thanks Mohanish @DeshmukhLab for your kind words. We all really enjoyed your visit and talk - very exciting findings by some really talented people! We'll keep in touch!

Thank you Gareth @_ThomasLab for a wonderful visit to Shriners Research Center at Temple. Fantastic faculty and students. Enjoyed hearing about how palmitoylation controls axon degeneration in development and injury. Very cool projects!

Very happy to (belatedly – blame Covid…) celebrate the most recent poster award for @Natashahesketh from the lab. Many congratulations, Natasha - now only seven more needed for a free coffee…

Excited to share our latest preprint, our first foray into oligodendrocyte biology and (dys)#myelination, and the result of an ongoing, fruitful collaboration with our colleague Dr Shin Kang. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@DR_SSFS Why do you think it's so green, though...?

Returned from @BiochemSoc meeting tinyurl.com/Lipidation23 to find that @NatashaHesketh had been recognized with a(nother…!) poster award at @templemedschool's Dawn Marks Research Day. Congratulations Natasha!

Just back from very enjoyable @BiochemSoc Insights into Lipidation in Cell Biology meeting. Big thanks to @DrDDOM, @Thioesterase and @DR_SSFS for all their efforts! tinyurl.com/Lipidation23

It’s been a fantastic week in Liverpool for New Insights into Lipidation in Cell Biology! A big thank you to our Programme Coordinators, @DrDDOM, @DR_SSFS and @Thioesterase. #BiochemEvent

@DR_SSFS @neuropalm @CIHR_IRSC Huge congrats to @DR_SSFS and all @neuropalm lab members - very well deserved!!!

Greatly looking forward to this week’s Shriners - Temple symposium. In-person again (at last!) with keynote Paola Arlotta @harvardstemcell, several other great speakers, and posters with exciting, unpublished work from @natashahesketh, Xiaotian Zhang and many more!

@jenkins_paul @rkuruvi1 Thanks @jenkins_paul and @rkuruvi1 - likewise +1 on the elegant work from both your labs. Also congrats on your recent award Paul - very well deserved!

Just returned from #Neurotrophic Mechanisms GRC – terrific science, great to reestablish connections & make new ones, & the first public presentation of exciting work by Xiaotian Zhang from the lab. Many thanks to @rkuruvi1 & Lizzie Coulson for all their efforts! We’ll be back…!

Today we celebrated graduate student Xiaotian Zhang obtaining joint-highest score in her class for her Independent Research Proposal. A fitting reward for all her hard work! Many thanks also to Xiaotian’s IRP facilitator Gianluca Gallo!

@CuendaAna @DipdeBadajoz @IgualdadUEx @Junta_Ex Many congratulations on this Ana – very well deserved! I also apologize for not recognizing this sooner – only saw it on the Dundee MRC webpage today.

Ayer fue un día muy especial para mi y mi familia. GRACIAS Torremayor Badajoz por este reconocimiento. Gracias al Ayuntamiento de Torremayor por visibilizar a la Mujer Extremeña Científica. Todo un ejemplo 👏🏻👏🏻 ⁦@DipdeBadajoz⁩ ⁦@IgualdadUEx⁩⁦⁩ ⁦@Junta_Ex⁩

@TUNeuralScience is excited to host today's seminar speaker @ErikaHolzbaur, who was invited by our graduate students and postdocs. We really look forward to Dr. Holzbaur's visit and seminar. #autophagy #neurodegeneration

Greatly looking forward to today’s @TUNeuralScience seminar from graduate student/postdoc invitee @ErikaHolzbaur – a fantastic scientist and a truly impressive role model and advocate for science!

@TUNeuralScience @templemedschool Thanks @TUNeuralSciences - I am humbled and honored. Also a big shout out to 1st place oral presentation winner Noelle Sterling from Seonhee Kim's lab - an impressive day all around for the Dept!

Well done, Natasha. Also a big congratulations to Gareth Thomas @_ThomasLab for being selected by the students for the Dawn Marks Faculty Award! A well-deserved honor for his support and dedication to our students.@templemedschool

@EstarasLab @LizBAbraham Congratulations Liz!

Congratulations to Elizabeth, 3rd year graduate student in our lab! She won the best poster presentation at the Dawn Marks Research Day at Temple! Way to go Liz!🙌

Really impressive presentations at today’s @templemedschool Dawn Marks Research Day and big congratulations to @_ThomasLab graduate student @natashahesketh for her Poster Award! Glad all those acting classes paid off, too... #strikeapose

@FullerLabGlas @_alicemain Many congratulations Dr @_alicemain!

It’s viva day in the Fuller Lab, and big congratulations to Dr Alice Main @_alicemain on the successful defence of her thesis! Big thanks to the examining team for making it such a positive experience

We have liftoff! Great overviews of the official launch of the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI). Large-scale, NIH-funded resource of genetically-engineered isogenic iPSC lines harboring neurodegeneration-related mutations. nia.nih.gov/news/new-web-p…
