7 years ago, I met a junior fellow named @JD_Buenrostro who blew me away with a vision of futuristic genomic technologies Today, we (@ajaylabade31, @carolinecomenho) are excited to share our first steps into that future: Expansion in situ genome sequencing 1/

QBI researchers have discovered a DNA mechanism that controls how disease-causing mutations are inherited. Dr. Anne Hahn and A/Professor Steven Zuryn believe this could lead to therapies that prevent heritable and age-related diseases. Read: bit.ly/3Mhm5Yu @ZurynLab

We present oblique plane microscopy with adaptive optics (AO): biorxiv.org/content/10.110… One deformable mirror corrects both the light-sheet and the fluorescence detection. Movie shows cancer cells in a zebrafish xenograft model, before and after application of AO.

Excited to share @EliasScheer's thesis work from my lab, in a paper that explores how animal decision-making is coupled to behavioral state changes over minute-long and second-long timescales. elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr…

🪱"All genes are created equal, but some are more equal than others" Happy to share our recent work dissecting a parent-of-origin effect in worms, which could have important implications for our understanding of the evolution of imprinting @IMBA_Vienna doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

Want to hear me discuss philosophy of neuroscience, causality, logic etc in german? Zoomposium just did a really fun discussion with me: youtube.com/watch?v=lLHg9f…

"Cognitive function requires the coordination of neural activity across many scales, from neurons and circuits to large-scale networks. As such, it is unlikely that an explanatory framework focused on any single scale will yield a comprehensive theory..." doi.org/10.1523/ENEURO…

Our fourteen-year-old work is out in Nature Metabolism! Using zinc dye to image hundreds of insulin secretions within the intact islet, we reveal only a portion of islet b-cells exocytosis upon glucose stimulation (readily releasable b-cells). rdcu.be/dwYTW

How are neural circuits reconfigured during infection to induce sickness behaviors? We show that neuromodulatory systems that control stress and satiety in C.elegans are recruited upon infection to induce sickness behaviors. From Flavell Lab @MIT_Picower biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My collaborations/interactions with PONTE postdoctoral fellows @IGCiencia have been great so far! Encourage your "quantitative" friends to apply!

First connectome of an animal's early visual system announced: simonsfoundation.org/2023/09/28/res… but hold on, what about c elegans? Are they arguing it does not have a "visual system"? pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33674494/
