The Butler and @NovitchLab labs turned out for the @UCLA_BRI end of year celebration to honor the equally beloved Felix Schweizer (outgoing director) and @doctorpoe (new director)! @UCLA #Neuroscience is in excellent hands. #tacos

New paper alert from the Butler lab! We have used pseudotime analyses of scRNA-Seq in vivo and in vitro datasets to examine the lineage trajectories in the developing dorsal spinal cord to identify novel regulators of dorsal neural fates. 🧵journals.biologists.com/dev/…

The Varadarajan Lab is hiring at all levels (research technicians, grad students, postdocs)!
Learn more about us at varadarajanlab.org/
If you are interested in working with us and are at SfN later this week, email me and let's meet at #SfN23 .

My heart in seeing all the devastation on Maui 💔. I was very young, but I remember visiting beautiful Lahaina as a child, passing through to visit other family on the island. Lahaina has given so much of itself to the world, please give back if you can. 🌺🌴❤️
HOW CAN YOU HELP the people of Maui?
Donations: Hawai‘i Community Foundation, this fund is currently being used to support communities affected by the wildfires on Maui: hawaiicommunityfoundation.or…

Our lab is recruiting a postdoc or technician to perform calcium imaging and optogenetics for high throughput functional screening in cultured human neurons with loss of function mutations from neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. email me [email protected]

I am superrr excited to announce that I have officially accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at @UCLA in the Neurobiology Department @dgsomucla . My lab will investigate the neural populations and synaptic properties associated with depressive-like behaviors.

Sign up to attend the @UCLAstemcell Symposium - it's an amazing lineup, AND the poster features a beautiful image of stem-cell derived dorsal spinal interneurons from @Sandeep04998190.

This workshop on Neural Development on March 6-9th, 2023 has everything! It's affordable (~$300 + travel costs), on a beautiful tropical island (Okinawa @OISTedu), and has a fantastic line up of speakers, see groups.oist.jp/nsa for details. Please RT to spread the news!

An image of mESC-derived spinal interneurons from the Butler lab (credit: @Sandeep04998190) was chosen by @Nature as one of July's best science images! Thanks also to @UCLAstemcell for getting the word out. nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

Our recent studies in @CellReports have described an atlas for the complete complement of vitro-derived spinal sensory interneurons. Here’s a summary of the paper: cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… 1/7

Scientists @UCLAstemcell have created a roadmap revealing how stem cells become sensory interneurons, the cells that enable sensations like touch, pain and itch. 🧵(1/3) bit.ly/3Pj2fMs

Want some authentic sensory interneurons for your studies? Learn how to make them from stem cells!
Check out our paper in Cell Reports today! It was super fun to collaborate across the aisle! @Butlerlab_UCLA @NovitchLab
