I’m overjoyed to announce that I will join the Department of Neuroscience at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis as an assistant professor in Feb 2023! We will use voltage imaging and computational modeling to decipher how fruit fly learns and makes decisions.
Great new work from the Yi Lab and colleagues dissecting the functional effects of UBE3A mutations! A tour-de-force going from functional effects of mutations, to structural insights, to impacts in vivo! Congrats!
Welcome new #RareAsOne grantees! We’re excited to have you join the @ChanZuckerberg community support your efforts to find treatments and cures for rare diseases czi.co/3CMTMeg
Congratulations to Sabin Nettles @NettlesSabin, who receives this year's Next Generation Award from @SfNtweets! Read about Nettles' work in outreach and scicomm and her graduate research in Dr. Harrison Gabel's lab @Gabel_Lab.
