Congrats Jacob!

New @AudibleBleeding episode out! Inside VSORT: Building the Next Generation of Vascular Surgery Researchers. I sit down with @FA_VascularMD and @ahsanzileali to explore how Penn State built a high-output, collaborative outcomes research program.

👁️ Towards Vision Restoration

Soucy et al. present a powerful strategy to improve the survival & integration of stem cell-derived retinal ganglion cells (RGCs): a big step forward for cell-based therapies for glaucoma & optic neuropathies.

Using the MaxOne HD-MEA system, the team showed that co-delivery with slow-release neurotrophic factors:
🔹Enhanced functional maturation of stem cell-derived RGCs
🔹Increased human RGC survival 15-fold after transplantation in mice

👏 Congrats to @jrsoucy, Julia Oswald, @BNV_Vision & the team at @MassEyeAndEar + @harvardmed!

@MBTA Is there a faq? How will they check if fairs are paid? Getting on at union sq, sometimes those validation tickets never print despite tapping my card. I have a monthly pass, so is validating even necessary? What if the kiosks are down?

[Jon Soucy @jrsoucy]

@AnushChP Thank you! Excited to hear where you end up!

[Jon Soucy @jrsoucy]

We’re moving to Wisconsin! 🧀 I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining @UWMadison_BME as an Assistant Professor in Summer 2026. My lab will focus on developing organ-on-chip models of the visual system and advancing retinal neuron transplantation to restore vision. 👁️

[Jon Soucy @jrsoucy]

Huge thanks to my mentors, Drs. Petr Baranov (@BNV_Vision), Pat D’Amore, Ryan Koppes (@RKoppes), and Abby Koppes, for their guidance and to my amazing wife, Alissa (@Alissa_OS), for her love and support. Excited for the next chapter in Madison! 🦡

[Jon Soucy @jrsoucy]

Until then, I’m honored to be supported by an @NatEyeInstitute K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award, where I’m investigating how neural activity can improve donor neuron integration in the retina. ⚡️@HMSeye @BaranovLab

@MBTA over 30min delay at union sq today 😩

[Jon Soucy @jrsoucy]

@MBTA fyi, green line trains at Union sq are delayed 25min, it just arrived

@MBTA Is there going to be increased service on the 86 & 91 buses? Would be nice to include a shuttle bus stop by Ricky’s

[Jon Soucy @jrsoucy]

@MBTA @MBTA_CR Why no shuttle busses for Union sq? The recommend bus routes are very infrequent. Could at least include a stop by Ricky’s

@cpane94 @BMESociety Amazing! 🐂

[Johns Hopkins BME @JHUBME]

The 2024 Rising Stars in Engineering in Health workshop was held in Boston. Faculty from co-host institutions, #HopkinsBME, @ColumbiaBME, @CornellBME, & @BostonU_BME, helped prepare participants for the job market through mock interviews, panels, networking receptions, & more.

[Boston University Biomedical Engineering @BostonU_BME]

Check out our 2O distinguished scholars and winners of the 2024 #RisingStars Workshop, a collaborative effort between Boston University, Cornell University, Johns Hopkins University, and Columbia University, hosted at @BostonU_BME.

@JohnAWhitePhD @BostonU_BME @ColumbiaBME @JHUBME @CornellBME It was great meeting you too! Thanks for hosting us!

[Jon Soucy @jrsoucy]

Honored to be a part of this year’s cohort Rising Stars! Thank you @BostonU_BME @ColumbiaBME @JHUBME @CornellBME for organizing such an amazing event!

[Boston University Biomedical Engineering @BostonU_BME]

Welcome to our 20 Rising Stars on the first day of the workshop!

Working with mice, @harvardmed researchers have identified a potential new strategy for replacing retinal ganglion cells to treat glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide.

Beautiful new paper: methods for getting stem-cell derived retinal ganglion cells to integrate into the retina (mouse). Cells were capable of migrating & surviving.
