Grubb Lab

Our lab is interested in brain development, especially those processes of neuronal maturation which are shaped by electrical activity.

[Grubb Lab @GrubbLab]

When axons regrow after injury, how do they get their presynaptic terminals working again?

Answer is: really quickly!

Out now from us in @CellReports, led by the structure-function DreamTeam that is @LorcanBrowne & @ACrespoVieira ⤵️

Very excited to announce that the lab has a website!

Check it out for information about the type of work we plan to do and the type of lab we plan to be.

The Brave Little Neuron was formed by a group of friends who wanted to share their scientific #research and make #neuroscience accessible for everyone.

Look out for their workshop @EinsteinsGarden @GreenManFest on Friday.

I'm thrilled to share our preprint from the Fleischmann lab!

We find molecular signatures of ancestral cortical neurons in the mammalian olfactory cortex.

@JamesDanckert @Dick_retired 🙋
Without Dick's Brain and Behaviour tutorials at @OxExpPsy in the late 90s there's no way I'd be a scientist now.
Still, I haven't done anything to (directly) improve human health and happiness yet, either...

[Emily Winson-Bushby @emily_winson]

Keep an eye out for @pheereynolds @fmferreira_ @JuchaMoore, me and more in @EinsteinsGarden! #BraveLittleNeuron #SciComm

[Grubb Lab @GrubbLab]

Yes! This is going to be a fantastic adventure, with @NeuroBender and @neuronJoy along for the ride too!

[Аnа Dorrego Rivas @adorrego_r]

Had to read the email 4 times at least…but it’s official! I’ve just got a Wellcome Trust Early Career Award to work on axodendritic interactions during development, a dream coming true!

That also means that @GrubbLab and I will be working together for a looooong time 😁

[Grubb Lab @GrubbLab]

@chriskelly151 @AbScentUK Hmmm, quick look suggests evidence for infected 'neurons' in the OB is unconvincing here. No neuron-specific colabel.

[Grubb Lab @GrubbLab]

Amazing job! And all achieved in the face of sustained PI laboratory 'assistance'...

[Аnа Dorrego Rivas @adorrego_r]

Amazing first week of our @in2scienceUK students: first experiment, first successful staining!

[Аnа Dorrego Rivas @adorrego_r]

Great paper, yet another proof that the fixation you use for your staining can make a huge difference: just look at figures 2 and 7!

Fantastic 'Impaired Airs' meeting @KingsCollegeLon today, superbly organised and chaired by @rowanrobo as part of the @AnosmiaHistory project. Thanks to all who participated, including @SAHowardSmith, @WillTullett, @chriskelly151 and many talented others - I learnt so much!

[Lewis MacKenzie @LEMacKz]

A #NewPI, will I ever be able to recruit an overseas postdoc? First BREXIT, then visa fees going even more insane!

99.9% of the people in my sub-field do not have a British passport!

[Carlos Ribeiro @RibeiroCarlitos]

The efforts and cost required for a lab member to get a visa to visit collaborators in the UK has been crazy. And it is also supremely humiliating for the applicant. Good luck with remaining competitive with such conditions.

As an academic writing coach, here are the 7 mistakes I see supervisors and PIs make in the process of co-writing a paper with their PhD students or mentees.

📣Fully funded postdoc position available in my lab @dev_neuro at King’s College London!
This is a very exciting project focused on the development and regenerative potential of human choroid plexus using organoids!🧠 (Please RT🙏)

Just getting started in #patchclamp #electrophysiology? Then our latest #Neurowire article '10 common patching problems and how to fix them - a guide for beginners' by @emily_winson, @GrubbLab will help!

Synaptic elimination is essential for neural development. Our new study in mitral cells explains how neurons prune all but one type of synaptic input through synaptic competition. Open access in @Dev_Cell https://t.co/SvXO4Pmb2D (1/7)

🔥 new position open now!

[Dr Soraya M 🦋(SorayaM) @DrSorayaM]

So finally my first ever (!!!) first author is out into the world of BioRxiv summarising my PhD work - Synaptic alterations associated with disrupted sensory encoding in a mouse model of tauopathy.
