The Blackmore lab discovers novel molecular mechanisms that control nerve regeneration, and uses that information to promote repair after spinal cord injury.

This is very exciting! Thanks to @SpinalResearch for supporting this critical effort to get the science out to the people that need it.
We’re proud to announce that we’ve co-founded SCI Ventures, the first venture philanthropy fund focused on innovative therapies for people living with spinal cord injury.

See our latest preprint! Sometimes it's what DOESN'T happen that matters most. Meaning - in the Mysterious Case of the Axons That Won't Regenerate, there is a dog that didn't bark. Great collab with @Ishwariya13 @FreglisPlethon

This is a great lab in a great environment, spread the word
Interested in understanding how gastro-intestinal complications occur after spinal cord injury? We're hiring! Join the lab and help us study this major health complication for people living with a spinal injury! linkedin.com/jobs/view/32366…
And now the companion paper to elifesciences.org/articles/7…. The Elife paper mapped the supraspinal anatomy, now we provide corresponding transcription by snRNA-Seq. Marker genes for all your favorite descending cell types! @FreglisPlethon

Very proud to share the final version of work with @FreglisPlethon, mapping the supraspinal connectome in mice before and after injury. elifesciences.org/articles/7…
Also check out 3dmousebrain.com for interactive 3D data!
I can’t emphasize enough how great @brain_globe is, both the tools themselves and the open science in action.

More collaboration with @FreglisPlethon! We present a resource to visualize and count tens of thousands of supraspinal neurons across the mouse brain. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. Website here: 3dmousebrain.com/ The thread explains why I think we need this!
But now with bright viral label, tissue clearing, automated cell detection, and digital registration, it is practical – I emphasize practical – to see and measure all supraspinal populations in one shot, in replicate animals after injury and treatment.

I have shied away from Twitter given the bleak COVID news in India but this news cuts through the gloom, even if just a bit. My paper with @Blackmorelab “Co-occupancy identifies transcription factor cooperation for axon growth” is live at @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
A really nice paper! Read the discussion carefully, you can see where they are headed, and it sounds pretty interesting...
Thrilled to share our latest study hinting at limb specific axon growth regulators - more to come! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
nature.com/articles/s41467-0… I am happy to share our latest - new gene combinations for axon growth in the CNS, a joint project with @Ishwariya13 . Also a good time to mention we are hiring a postdoc! The next big discovery could be yours! More at blackmorelab.com
Wow - an international SCI platform and this is the 3rd talk in 4 weeks to originate from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Yup, Milwaukee. Trainees and PIs looking for positions, take note! Something right is happening here @KajanaSatkune @buddemd
It's Friday! That means it's time to get excited for Tuesday! Why? Because @buddemd will be giving our #IOSCIRS seminar, moderated by Dr. Sathyamurthy. The talk will go go live on our YouTube channel (link in bio) at 2pm ET/11am PT.
RT and we'll see you there!
I'm happy to share the results of a fantastic collaboration with @ishwariya13. Her bioinformatics worked (!), led us straight to novel factors with strong pro-regeneration effects in vivo. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Yes! Just plain smart
Reeve Foundation to invest in paralysis-treatment companies, as more nonprofits act like VCs. buff.ly/2LS9Im4
I am very excited about this! I see a fresh approach and new potential. Let’s officially welcome Ethan to the SCI domain!
So excited to announce my next patient-inspired adventure as Chief Scientific Officer @ReeveFoundation!! prnewswire.com/news-releases…
It’s time to retire the wheelchair. I can’t wait to help translate basic science into new treatments and ultimately a cure for spinal cord injury!
