Kate Inman Tsourmas

Neuro PhD candidate studying microglial replacement therapy in the Green Lab at UC Irvine 🍉

[Kate Inman Tsourmas @KTsoNeuro]

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.

@clairebutler17 Couldn’t have done it without you!

[Dr. Claire Butler @clairebutler17]

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 🧠

@destinyinneuro 🥹 thank you Destiny!

@LHohsfield Thank you Lindsay!

[Lindsay Hohsfield @LHohsfield]

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

[Lindsay Hohsfield @LHohsfield]

A lot of thought went into choosing Cst7 as the target for disease associated #microglia. And it payed off. Great work from @CadeNeuro

@DanielaCossio96 Thank you! ❤️❤️

[Kate Inman Tsourmas @KTsoNeuro]

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!

[Kate Inman Tsourmas @KTsoNeuro]

@VusumuziHove @UCIBioSci Thank you! ☺️

[Kate Inman Tsourmas @KTsoNeuro]

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!

@clairebutler17 I’m here for u boo!

[QTABS UCI @QTABS_UCI]

Heyyy QTABS community! Here are the events we have planned for this quarter 🌟 can’t wait to see you all there! #qtabsuci

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 🙇🏼‍♀️

[UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences @UCIBioSci]

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.🌈🧬

[Kate Inman Tsourmas @KTsoNeuro]

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!

[Kate Inman Tsourmas @KTsoNeuro]

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!
