The Thomas Lab

Seeking to understand and prevent neurodegeneration and demyelination. You know, nothing too ambitious...

@DeshmukhLab Thanks Mohanish @DeshmukhLab for your kind words. We all really enjoyed your visit and talk - very exciting findings by some really talented people! We'll keep in touch!

Very happy to (belatedly – blame Covid…) celebrate the most recent poster award for @Natashahesketh from the lab. Many congratulations, Natasha - now only seven more needed for a free coffee…

Excited to share our latest preprint, our first foray into oligodendrocyte biology and (dys)#myelination, and the result of an ongoing, fruitful collaboration with our colleague Dr Shin Kang. https://t.co/nzA5zWnVtu

@DR_SSFS Why do you think it's so green, though...?

@jenkins_paul @rkuruvi1 Thanks @jenkins_paul and @rkuruvi1 - likewise +1 on the elegant work from both your labs. Also congrats on your recent award Paul - very well deserved!

[The Thomas Lab @_ThomasLab]

Just returned from #Neurotrophic Mechanisms GRC – terrific science, great to reestablish connections & make new ones, & the first public presentation of exciting work by Xiaotian Zhang from the lab. Many thanks to @rkuruvi1 & Lizzie Coulson for all their efforts! We’ll be back…!

[The Thomas Lab @_ThomasLab]

Today we celebrated graduate student Xiaotian Zhang obtaining joint-highest score in her class for her Independent Research Proposal. A fitting reward for all her hard work! Many thanks also to Xiaotian’s IRP facilitator Gianluca Gallo!

@CuendaAna @DipdeBadajoz @IgualdadUEx @Junta_Ex Many congratulations on this Ana – very well deserved! I also apologize for not recognizing this sooner – only saw it on the Dundee MRC webpage today.

[LKSOM Department of Neural Sciences at Temple Univ @TUNeuralScience]

@TUNeuralScience is excited to host today's seminar speaker @ErikaHolzbaur, who was invited by our graduate students and postdocs. We really look forward to Dr. Holzbaur's visit and seminar. #autophagy #neurodegeneration

[The Thomas Lab @_ThomasLab]

Greatly looking forward to today’s @TUNeuralScience seminar from graduate student/postdoc invitee @ErikaHolzbaur – a fantastic scientist and a truly impressive role model and advocate for science!

[The Thomas Lab @_ThomasLab]

@TUNeuralScience @templemedschool Thanks @TUNeuralSciences - I am humbled and honored. Also a big shout out to 1st place oral presentation winner Noelle Sterling from Seonhee Kim's lab - an impressive day all around for the Dept!

[The Thomas Lab @_ThomasLab]

@EstarasLab @LizBAbraham Congratulations Liz!

[The Thomas Lab @_ThomasLab]

Really impressive presentations at today’s @templemedschool Dawn Marks Research Day and big congratulations to @_ThomasLab graduate student @natashahesketh for her Poster Award! Glad all those acting classes paid off, too... #strikeapose

[The Thomas Lab @_ThomasLab]

@FullerLabGlas @_alicemain Many congratulations Dr @_alicemain!

We have liftoff! Great overviews of the official launch of the iPSC Neurodegenerative Disease Initiative (iNDI). Large-scale, NIH-funded resource of genetically-engineered isogenic iPSC lines harboring neurodegeneration-related mutations.
