I’m excited to share my first first-authored paper from my #PhD work, out now in @FrontiersIn Cellular Neuroscience! We explored intrinsic properties of retinal ganglion cells which may contribute to their different responses in #vision: https://t.co/sqxiayPywC
Join us Tues 3/28 at 10am in 214 LH for Andrew Boal's @EyeBoal Dissertation Defense "Retinal Ganglion Cell Excitability and Adaptations to Ionic Stress in Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy" completed in Dr. David Calkins lab in the Neuro Grad Program @VanderbiltBrain and @VUMCEye!
Honored to receive notice that my F30 is being funded by the @NatEyeInstitute! I’m grateful for the support I’ve received from @VanderbiltMSTP and @VanderbiltBrain and excited to continue exploring the interaction of astrocytes and retinal ganglion cells in #glaucoma. #mdphd
These findings may offer insight into key physiologic differences that cause some RGCs to degenerate more quickly than others in #glaucoma and lay the groundwork for future targets for #neuroprotection

We found that sensitivity to potassium underlies differing excitability and action potential shapes in aON-S and aOFF-S RGCs. Interestingly, elevating potassium concentration shifts the responses of aON-S cells to resemble those of aOFF-S at baseline.
So proud of @EyeBoal who last-minute subbed in for Michael Risner @iserworld@_BrightFocus this afternoon! Andrew talked about human RGCs cultured in multiple conditions and how the morphology of their axon initial segments changes depending on their environment 🧫👀🐭🧠
Grateful to have the support of @_BrightFocus and @iserworld to present my research and learn from some of the best in the #glaucoma field! This meeting is a wonderful learning opportunity for a young scientist. Come see me at poster #5 tonight!
👏 Please join us in congratulating these @_BrightFocus and @iserworld travel grantees!
We are honored to invest in these awardees’ continued success in vision #research.
Thank you to our sponsors for making these awards possible.

You can officially call me Dr. Naguib now!!! Today I successfully defended my PhD in neuroscience after 4 years of hard work. I am so unbelievably thrilled to be done #PhDone#PhinallyDone
I’m looking forward to hosting the trivia night to cap off this excellent conference we have planned! Come for the science, mentorship, and networking opportunities #doubledocs#mdphd
It's true! Our next #MDPhD meeting is happening soon! Join us from anywhere for a day full of #science, interactive breakout sessions, and making connections! Registration ($5) is open now, full schedule here: https://t.co/2fogY9uNUv
