Very proud of this new study from the lab! 🌟We identified a novel lncRNA, FAM151B-DT, that is disrupted across neurodegenerative diseases. https://t.co/tbGEsA9BYs

Proud to share a new preprint from Farzané Mirfakhar using super resolution microscopy to understand how FTD-causing tau mutations disrupt lysosomal transport and tau degradation https://t.co/nJUFkgpzBx @WUADRC @FTDcwow

Microglia can make their own pathogenic tau, wrecking phagocytosis TREM2 signaling, and spewing a brew of neurotoxic molecules. @WUSTL https://t.co/bQ3ruFIXlK

My old lab AND my boyfriend celebrating without me!? FOMO to the max!! Congrats Kaelin and @caelagamoo on your new @ajpheartcirc article!

[Celeste Karch @karchlab]

Great day at Busch Stadium with the lab!! ⚾️🔬🧬🧪

[Samantha Swift, PhD @ScientistSwift]

Congrats to Abhi and team!! 🎉

[Celeste Karch @karchlab]

I’m super duper excited to share our latest preprint!!! Here, we used iPSC models to show that tau mutations cause broad defects in microglia. ⁦@WUADRC⁩ ⁦@RCFNeuro⁩ ⁦@CurePSP⁩ ⁦@wustlcrm⁩ ⁦@WashUONR⁩ ⁩ ⁦@cziscience⁩ https://t.co/kNm80DOjaa

I'm so excited to announce - The first ever Wisconsin-wide research conference for scientists at ALL career stages! Registration now open. Free for for all trainee scientists (undergrads onward)! Please share.

[Celeste Karch @karchlab]

Happy WashU Psychiatry Research Day to those who celebrate! I’m lucky to be part of a lab who makes incredible discoveries and shows up to support one another 🫶🧬🔬🧪 @washupsychres @WashUONR @wustlcrm @WUADRC

Images from Monday's eclipse! Glad to spend the time with @ScientistSwift and @anvithaaaa!

[Samantha Swift, PhD @ScientistSwift]

@chaiemoji I will give it a valiant effort 😆

[Samantha Swift, PhD @ScientistSwift]

@chaiemoji This thought occurs to me about once a year

[Samantha Swift, PhD @ScientistSwift]

@RouseJoey YASSSSS! I can't wait to celebrate you on the day you become a freaking doctor!!!! 😍

[Samantha Swift, PhD @ScientistSwift]

Proud partner moment. Congrats @jakeadelman1 on your paper and cover!

[Samantha Swift, PhD @ScientistSwift]

Personal testimony that the Patterson Lab/ MCW is an AMAZING place to do science.

[Michaela Patterson @caelagamoo]

The Patterson Lab is hiring! If you're interested in studying biological questions at the intersection of genetic variation, polyploidy, and heart physiology contact me.

@anvithaaaa Does the zero stand for zero joy?

[Jake Adelman🌹 @jakeadelman1]

Check out our recent publication where we looked at the potential for human neurons to become infected by Human Cytomegalovirus.
