The lab welcomes Lauren Duan, new MD-PhD student
Lauren is an MSTP student interested in the intersection of myelin with neurodegenerative disease. Welcome, Lauren!
Brad gives a seminar at the University of Bergen, Norway
Thanks to Prof. Petri Kursula for the invitation and kind hosting!
New Funding: Grant from the Ludwig Family Foundation
The lab received this grant to begin exploring the role of myelin dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease.
New Funding: Sanofi iAward
The lab received this grant to begin translating some of our work on myelin dysfunction into therapeutic targets for disease.
Professor Husniye Kantarci!!!
(First Z-lab Postdoc) Husniye Kantarci accepted a tenure-track faculty job in Neurobiology at UT-Austin. She will start her lab in January, 2024, focusing on glial-neuron interactions that control neuronal excitability. Congrats Husniye, and huge endorsement for her new lab!!
Brad is named the Covert-Matera Families Endowed Faculty Scholar
Thanks to the Stanford MCHRI and Covert-Matera Families for this honor.
New Funding: MPI R21 with Prof. Birgitt Schuele, from NIA
“Developing a cell-on-chip platform to study oligodendrocyte-neuron interactions in plasticity and neurodegeneration.” The project and collaboration with the Schuele lab was conceived of and written up by Mable Lam in the lab, so huge congrats to her!
Brad gives a talk at the ISN Bienal Myelin Meeting in Portugal
It was great catching up with myelin colleagues in the beautiful Douro River region of Portugal.
The lab welcomes Eduardo Chaparro Barriera, new postbac student and LSRP-1
Eduardo is a REACH Scholar at Stanford and will be working under the mentorship of Mable Lam. Welcome, Eduardo!
Teaching at MBL Woods Hole
Brad, joined by TA-extraordinaires Husniye Kantarci and Madeline Cooper, taught in the Neurobiology course at MBL, Woods Hole, where we worked on understanding cellular mechanisms of myelin dynamics and vulnerability with fantastic and hard-working students.
