Happy to collaborate with @CGAlmeidaG on this paper where we studied bin1 in a context of alzheimer disease
17 Jul 2025
š§ What if Alzheimerās risk starts at the synapse?
In our new study led by Mariana Barata, we show that BIN1, a key AD risk gene, regulates inhibitory synapsesāloss of BIN1 ā hyperexcitability before AĪ².

MAGIC aims to develop effective treatments for people with rare #MuscularDystrophy.
These rare conditions affect the muscles and can impact walking, eating, sleeping and breathing.
By bringing together leading experts we will push research forwards, faster.š§āš¬

My lab at UCSF (hsiunglab.org) is looking to recruit multiple postdocs across the spectrum of wet/dry lab interests to contribute to our research in synthetic gene regulation, combinatorial genetics, and tissue biology (including liver biology and immuno-oncology). We esp. welcome individuals who add to our capabilities and perspectives in computation or specific biological domains in tissue biology. Where appropriate there would be exceptional opportunities to work collaboratively with the help of junior specialists in the lab, as well as with other UCSF labs with complementary expertise.

ALT Figure 1A: Myofiber growth and myonuclear positioning during late embryonic and early postnatal development. (A) Representative images of cross-sectioned gastrocnemius muscle from E17.5, P1, P3, P5, P7 and P20 mice, stained for syntrophin to label the sarcolemma (white) and for DAPI to label nuclei (cyan). Magnifications corresponding to the yellow squares are shown on the right of each image. Individual channels of the magnified views are shown in Fig. S2. Scale bars: 50ā Āµm.
