It’s been a long journey🚢, with about 1 & 1/2 year since posting on bioRxiv and of course even longer since the project started, but our paper has finally been published in @NatureNeuro 🌠
Congrats @BrandonDLe @jmvalone4 @jsteinlab and all co-authors !

Dr. Jason Stein's lab (@jsteinlab) at @UNC determined the cross-site reproducibility of human cortical #organoid 🧫 (hCO) differentiation using three independent research groups to assay hCOs in multiple differentiation replicates.

The lightsheet has landed! 🔬🤩🎉
After a lot of preparation and a full week of install, we were thrilled to see some images of distinct nuclei in dense regions of cleared mouse brains and are excited to welcome the @ASIImaging ct-dSPIM to the @UNC_NMC!

GWAS in a dish!
GWAS of neural progenitor cell proliferation on lithium treatment (n=80) identified a locus on chr 3, a known risk locus for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and intelligence. Beautiful!
