Excited to share the first preprint from my PhD work! We hope that this work will be illuminating both for the treatment of lysosomal storage disorders and for our understanding of microglial biology in homeostasis.

Hell yeah, check out this pivotal paper from the queen Kate Tsourmas 👸🏻 on using microglia replacement as a strategy for treating Sandhoff disease, a lysosomal storage disorder. I’m proud to have contributed to this paper- check out the in vitro work, that was me hehe 🧠
Congratulations @KTsoNeuro! Functional recovery and rescue of many disease phenotypes in #Sandhoff mice using combined bone marrow transplant and CSF1R inhibitor-induced repopulation to replace #myeloid Hexb-deficient cells with Hexb-sufficent cells
Can’t think of many awards that would mean more to me than this one—I was the graduate student selected for distinguished mentoring of undergraduate research for @UCIBioSci this year!
Getting to guide incredibly talented students through their first research experiences is one of my favorite parts of grad school. Felt very proud seeing Zach, one of my mentees, give his first ever poster presentation at @UciUrop Undergraduate Research Symposium today!
Check out our new exciting @CellStemCell paper that shows microglia replacement can restore Trem2 function in a mouse AD model. Congratulations Yongjin @yongjinyoo and the other contributors from the lab!

So proud to be a part of QTABS—I loved seeing the impressive work that queer scientists are doing at UCI while also having open conversations about identity and navigating STEM. It’s so refreshing to have a space like this to celebrate science & queerness simultaneously 🙇🏼♀️
Today, @QTABS_UCI, a student-led collective of LGBTQIA+ biological and biomedical graduate students had their 2nd annual Community Symposium!
Guest speakers & #UCI faculty presented on panels about non-academia tracks and LGBTQIA+ perspectives in #STEM.🌈🧬

Been off my twitter game, but last month I had the opportunity to attend & give my first conference talk at the @KeystoneSymp Neuroimmune Interactions symposium in Whistler, BC. This conference was truly the highlight of grad school thus far—never learned so much in so few days!
Other highlights from an eventful spring: putting on a v fun @ucicnlm Adult Outreach Committee workshop at @SantaAnaCollege, advancing to candidacy (!!), and receiving a John Haycock graduate student award 💙💛 so grateful for the supportive community I’ve found here at UCI!
