Net result - two PhD thesis defenses in three weeks!
July 2024
Yet another thesis defense - Sheed Itaman, a Neuroscience program graduate student in our lab, had his PhD thesis defense on endogenous barcoding of neural stem cells. All went very well - congratulations, Dr. Itaman

Kennelia Mellanson, a graduate student in the lab, had her PhD thesis defense, excellent!
Congratulations, Dr. Mellanson!

A great way to kick off the year – we have been awarded another five-year R01 grant by the National Institute of Mental Health to investigate the impact of HIV1 infection, of the antiretroviral drugs used to suppress the virus, and of their combination, on the whole-brain neural circuitry. This will model both the infection (in humanized mice) and the pre-exposure prophylaxis. Surprisingly, very little is known about the effects of HIV1, ARVs, and HIV1/ARVs combination on the brain circuitry. The project will be carried out together with my longtime collaborators Michael Bukrinsky from George Washington University and Alex Koulakov from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Actively looking for postdocs and students!

December 2023
A nice Xmas present – we received a hefty grant from the newly launched SBU Aging Center to study the effects of prolonged exposure to senolytics on neurogenesis and neural circuity.
November 2023
Our image of neural stem cell nuclei in the Nestin-CFPnuc mice (the strip of blue dots), featured on the cover of the August issue of Journal of Neuroscience, was selected by the SfN for the 2023 meeting, so every couple of minutes there were dozens of copies of our motif on each banner and poster throughout the Washington DC convention center. An unexpected, even if slightly surreal, surprise.
