Distinct cell typeāspecific mechanisms underlie cognitive dysfunction during persistent integrated stress response activation | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25ā¦
Exciting news. Our new preprint is up on bioRxiv. Our collaboration with @JeeyunC lab found neuronal LDās dynamic behavior upon activation. Huge thanks to everyone involved for their dedication to pushing this project forward.
What do lipid droplets do in neurons? Thrilled to share the š1st preprint from my lab, led by Eleni Katafygiotou, showing activity-dependent formation of neuronal LDs in vitro and in vivo, and the impact of LD modulation on neuronal function and behavior.

New paper in Nature Neuro! We found dopamine is severely impaired in the lateral entorhinal cortex of Alzheimerās mice. Optogenetic stimulation of entorhinal dopamine and LEVODOPA treatment restored their memory ā dopamine treatment may be a future treatment for AD patients!

My postdoctoral work is finally published in Nature Neuroscience after six years!
We show that dopamine signaling in the lateral entorhinal cortex, previously identified as being involved in memory, is disrupted in an Alzheimerās disease mouse model.

Proximity-specific ribosome profiling using LOV-BirA reveals two distinct strategies for mitochondrially-localized translation: one for long coding sequences and one for short. It was a pleasure to contribute to this beautiful work from Jonathan Weissman @JswLabĀ and @JingchuanLuo

We are hiring a new lab manager! Our wonderful lab manager Albert is headed off to grad school and we are looking to fill his position this summer. Ā This is a great opportunity for a new graduate to spend a couple years immersed in research before applying to PhD or MD programs. 50% of the job is keeping the lab running (being a lab manager), and 50% is for original research related to protein engineering, technology development, etc ā there are many project possibilities!
Seeking passionate, motivated, creative, and detail-oriented majors in chemical biology, molecular biology or related subjects with at least 1 year of prior wetlab research experience. Must be a US citizen or have a valid work visa.
