Laura Desban

Postdoc in neurobiology at @uoregon studying the role of versatile chemosensory cells in host-microbial interactions! Even better, I do this in zebrafish :)

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

Apply! This is an amazing and supportive community that I am so grateful to be part of.

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

@NathalieJuYa @UniCologne So cool!

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

@JasonSynaptic @sigalalab @bomba_ewa @weinberz @IntMedAbel @amcdarnell @aaronjoinerphd Had such a great time, thank you again for organizing this symposium and inviting me. So much inspiring science!

[Ewa Bomba-Warczak @bomba_ewa]

I'm very excited and honored to be among these amazing postdocs! 🙌🏻Can't wait to visit Utah for the first time (@JasonSynaptic has raised the bar with his amazing photography👀), and also re-connect with @LeadingEdgeSymp family @weinberz @NicoleAPerry1 @DesbanLaura 💪🏻

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

@bunsen_B Aha, I got too excited for one sec! Thanks :)

Congratulations to @SconceMichelle and her fantastic team of co-authors on the publication of this Gnotobiotic Atlas that reveals the impacts of the microbiota on transcriptional programs across all tissues of a model vertebrate, the zebrafish: https://t.co/O6Qrv3HoBj

@DrSalinasLab Means a lot coming from you, Irene!
Hope to see / talk to you soon!

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

Thanks @ZebrafishRock ! So happy and proud to be part of the awesome zebrafish research community!

[Zebrafish Rock! @ZebrafishRock]

Our #SpotlightZebrafish this week is on Dr. Laura Desban @DesbanLaura a #postdoc with #EisenLab & @GuilleminLab @uoregon. She studies how interactions between microbes and chemosensory systems shape animal behavior– specifically in context of olfaction and social behavior (1/2)

[Cris Niell @cris_niell]

Interested in natural behavior and active vision in the mouse? Visual processing in the octopus? We are hiring! Postdoc and senior research associate positions available. And I'll be at #SfN2022 if you want to chat.

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

These roles will have the opportunity to expand on the work in our recent publication, and to explore your own interests in gut-brain signaling.

Interested in neurodevelopment, microbes, and zebrafish? The Eisen lab at the University of Oregon is hiring for a postdoc and/or laboratory technician! DM me if you know someone who might be interested! 🧵 #zebrafish #microbiome #neuroscience @ZebrafishRock @AcademicChatter

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

Check out the last paper of @jjbruckner from the Eisen and Washbourne labs! Really cool results showing how microbiota promotes social behavior in zebrafish through modeling of a neuronal subpopulation in the forebrain

[Dr. Joseph Bruckner @jjbruckner]

Our paper is out today in PLOS Biology, please RT and tell us what you think! We discovered that bacteria encourage zebrafish social behavior by promoting microglial remodeling of 'social neurons'.🧵

@JiaruiMi @wyartlab Looks like lmx1ba is enriched, from our dataset.

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

Interested in hair cell sensory functions? We just released on BioRxiv here https://t.co/aArXjXm9kt the second study of my PhD at @wyartlab in which we uncovered cool, novel chemosensory functions of lateral line hair cells and how they impact zebrafish navigation 1/7

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

@wyartlab Our results suggest that the lateral line system may work in combination with the olfactory system to pinpoint the source of chemicals in a plume and guide navigation

[Laura Desban @DesbanLaura]

@wyartlab Altogether, these findings highlight how the lateral line system can integrate chemical cues in the water to modulate zebrafish navigation
