Got that can-do attitude in 2026 ✨
Our students volunteered with Channel One Foodbank to package over 2000 cans of chickpeas! We're prioritizing community in the new year!
Congratulations Dr. Merve Atik on presenting #AAIC25 on genetics of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We need to understand CAA biology to address this key #Alzheimer’s co-pathology with relation to anti-amyloid treatment side effects. #NETanerLab@MayoClinicNeuro@MayoGradSchool
Congratulations @MayoGradSchool@MayoClinicNeuro#NETanerLab PhD student Wei Adelyn Tsai on presenting her work on deciphering risk pathways in cerebral amyloid angiopathy and blood brain barrier damage using omics. #AAIC25
So proud of our @MayoUrology@MayoGradSchool Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow and @UMengineering student Samiha Nasrin who presented her outstanding project on automating real-time stone measurement during ureteroscopy at Grand Rounds today. Real science, real impact! 👏👏👏
Truly grateful to receive the Travel Fellowship that supported me to attend #AAIC2025 and showcase my work on understanding the role of blood transcriptome in AD/MCI-related phenotyes. Huge thanks to @DrNErtekinTaner for mentorship!

Congratulations to Wei (Adelyn) Tsai from Mayo Ertekin-Taner on a wonderful presentation!!
AD/PD is an international conference with a focus on Alzheimer's, Parkinson's diseases, and related neurological disorders that took place in Vienna, Austria, in April this year.
Nothing like a little friendly competition to kick off the summer 🎳✨ Graduate students came together for a GSA-sponsored bowling night at Bowlocity in RST—an evening full of strikes, laughs, and community building!
I was excited to host Abhijeet @AbhijeetBarath PhD defense today @CNG_UTHealth@McGovernMed@MayoGradSchool What an effort to crack the challenging project on microglial SWELL1 in epilepsy! Abhijeet will start neurology residency @YaleMed in two weeks. Many congrats, Dr Barath!
One of the proudest moments of my life: officially earning my second doctorate — a PhD from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
Like my hometown Beirut — a city that continues to rise through hardship with quiet strength, like a Phoenix emerging from the ashes — this journey has been defined by resilience. From Lebanese University @LebaneseUni 🇱🇧 to AUBMC 🇱🇧@AUB_FM@AUBMC_Official , to the labs of Mayo 🇺🇸 @MayoClinicNeuro@MayoGradSchool , and now Johns Hopkins @HopkinsNsurg 🇺🇸 — this journey has been anything but easy. But every setback, every sleepless night, every moment of doubt…built the fire that forged me.
This experience taught me that true progress isn’t just about achievement — it’s about humility, gratitude, and the people who walk with you along the way.
To my mentors and family, thank you for your relentless support and belief.
And to every dreamer crossing oceans, climbing uphill battles, and daring to defy the odds: Stay tuned — the best is yet to come. Most importantly, find true mentors who push you, believe in you, and walk beside you before the world does.
This chapter closes, but the work and the learning continues…
Day 4 of Student Appreciation Week was all about connection and good vibes! Arizona students and faculty came together for Academic Aromas, while Rochester grads enjoyed pizza and dessert at the Grad School lunch. Thanks for making it a sweet one!
Congratulations to #PhF24 predoctoral awardee Xiyin Wang of @MayoGradSchool on winning travel awards to both the @ASPET Annual Meeting & @AACR Annual Meeting next month. It's his second year earning an AACR award! Learn more about Xiyin in this interview: https://t.co/XoDLGa4ysr
#PhF25 predoctoral awardee Anh T.Q. Cong @MayoGradSchool is investigating a potential new drug target that could prevent anthracycline #chemotherapy from damaging healthy heart cells while still effectively treating #cancer.

Check out our newly published work @ScienceAdvances on microglia-neuron interaction in led by talented PhD student @ShunyiZhao_@MayoGradSchool@CNG_UTHealth. Shunyi used in vivo 2p imaging to show that chemogenetic activation of Gi in microglia reduces neuronal synchronization.
Let's take a look at the day in the life of a Mayo Clinic Ph.D student! Join us as we watch Rylee go through her day in the Regenerative Science track!
