Major paper I've been working on is out today! We found genetics has a strong influence on skeletal response to immobilization. This is the first evidence showing changes in bone volume, quality and gene expression from immobilization are heritable.

The 2024 THRIVE Cohort, accompanied by PI Dr. Rhonda Prisby and DEIA Chair @HolguinLab, participated in the @NIDDKgov NMRI Workshop last week! It was an enriching experience with insightful research and dynamic sessions. Anticipating more opportunities and growth next year!

Check out or new paper examining how genetic variation affects skeletal muscles exposed to simulated microgravity: nature.com/articles/s41526-0…
We found that genetics caused some mice to be protected from muscle loss. Transcriptomic response also varied based on genetic background.

I asked ChatGPT to respond like Donald Trump to help me understand what my RNAseq results mean. ... it's tremendous!

I posted a job opening for a undergrad research assistant in our lab, and more people applied than we can hire 😳. What are some good interview questions I should ask?

Our latest paper examining how genetics affects the response to hindlimb unloading is out now in @JOrthopRes! We found bone loss from hindlimb unloading varied by mouse strain in the founder strains of the Diversity Outbred mouse population.

We have future manuscripts examining how skeletal muscle was affected in these mice and another manuscript analyzing the transcriptomic (RNAseq) response to unloading in the C57BL/6J mice used here.
