AARF/Leon Levy Fellow in @klannlab & @NYU_CNS studying translation in neurodegeneration. Interested in science, photography, politics and adorable cats
A huge thank you to all the researchers and funding bodies who helped contribute to this work. Special mention most go to my wonderful co-first author, @tongil_ko! Without his expertise in synthetic chemistry and patience for us biologists, this work would not have been possible
Hot off the press: our latest work detailing a novel method for the light-inducible, cell-type specific labelling of newly synthesized proteins. This work is the fruit of a wonderful collaboration between the @KlannLab and @DirkTrauner labs! https://t.co/iulSB5W9H6
In this paper, we demonstrate how photocaged versions of de novo protein tags, such as ANL, can be used to enable the light-dependent labelling of newly synthesized proteins in specific cell types, such as hippocampal excitatory neurons in mouse brain slices.
@liviugbodea@QldBrainInst Looking forward to it! Thanks goes to @AustraliaGoetz and @liviugbodea for the invite.
Iโll be discussing how pathogenic tau blocks long-term memory induced protein synthesis by altering ribosomal function
Iโm very grateful to be #ALZFunded. The @alzassociation is an extremely supportive and generous funding partner. I would encourage anyone working in the #Alzheimers field to work with them!
Presenting at @SfNtweets 2023 tomorrow. Come learn about how we use FUNCAT labeling to visualize precise windows of #proteinsynthesis during #memory formation
Check out @Mauricio_Neuroโs latest amazing work!
Here, he identifies GADD34 as a novel player in the intricate dance that is the regulation of mRNA translation in memory and characterizes its role
Really excited to share @Mauricio_Neuro's latest work, where he describes a novel mechanism for eIF2alpha dephosphorylation in response to plasticity-inducing stimulation, answering a long-standing question in the field of neuronal translation. Congrats! https://t.co/D6VRtU3eYI
@stcoakley@KlannLab@alzassociation@RCFNeuro NYU violet and UQ purple is nearly the exact same hex code. That, along with the Alzheimerโs Association funding and I realized I can only work in purple places
Very proud of our PhD student Sri who co-presented our work on impaired translation in tauopathies at #SfN22. Thank you to the rest of the @KlannLab , as well as The Leon Levy Foundation, @alzassociation and @RCFNeuro for their support
Scientists have developed tattoos that change color in response to glucose, albumin, and pH levels. The new tech could let people with diabetes or kidney disease track and control their health without having to take frequent blood samples. https://t.co/WTuwxRWudm
Yesterday I was thrilled and extremely grateful to find out that I had been awarded the @alzassociation
Research Fellowship. This funding will support my work within the @KlannLab exploring how impairments in protein synthesis contribute to various forms of dementia. #ENDALZ
