The Axon Degeneration Meeting is back! Save the date!

[Michael Coleman @Lab_Coleman]

The 2023 @Lab_Coleman retreat. How we got here and where we’re going, workplace culture and values, the uses, limitations and threats of AI in research, advice from the PhD classes of 1986-2020 to the class of 2023, forest walk, food, gin, M Phil celebration and haunted caves.

[Elisa Merlini @MerliniElisa]

Sharing this experience with my fellow lab members made it all more special. Very grateful to the PNS society for selecting my talk and to my mentors and colleagues for helping me in preparation to this event @Lab_Coleman.

[Elisa Merlini @MerliniElisa]

Had a wonderful time presenting my PhD research at the annual @PNSociety1 meeting in Copenhagen. As a first time attendee and Junior PNS member, I learned a lot about clinical perspectives of PNS research and how my findings fit into the landscape of toxic neuropathy. #PNS2023

As the first lab showing a neurotoxic effect of the NAD precursor NMN, we discuss links between NMN, other NAD precursors, SARM1 and anti-ageing supplements in our latest review on this controversial topic. @LabColeman

🚨New chemical tools for SARM1!🚨

Very excited to see our work published today in @PNASNews detailing the chemoproteomic discovery of stereoselective/site-specific allosteric #SARM1 inhibitors. Huge thanks to #LLJRC, @Andrea_Loreto1, and all co-authors! https://t.co/s3S0TkGs2O
