I am absolutely humbled and honored to have been selected as a new HHMI Investigator. A huge shout-out to all of my brilliant lab members (past and present), outstanding collaborators and incredible mentors along the way who made this a possibility!!
HHMI News: We are proud to announce our 33 new #HHMIInvestigators. These individuals have the potential to make transformative discoveries over time and we look forward to seeing where their ideas lead them. https://t.co/HziK6G5Q6y
dopaminylation in humans and mice. A huge step forward for understanding the biology of parenthood, and the broader role of monoaminylation in the brain.
Enormous congratulations to Jen and thanks to all our incredible collaborators and reviewers. Hope you all enjoy!
So excited to highlight our new work led by @chanjeneration, a postdoc in my lab recently awarded a K01 and BWF award (and on the job market!), out in @Nature!
This project identifies a novel role for dopamine in permanently remodeling the maternal brain through histone H3
Thrilled to share my main postdoctoral work out @Nature! This project tackles a fundamental question: how do pregnancy and postpartum experiences promote lifelong changes to the brain? https://t.co/BLnGSXzCHO
April is #GraduateStudentAwareness Month and we are proud to highlight Rasika Iyer, a PhD student @themazelab !👏Beyond the lab, as Co-President of @SinaiNeuro & a leader at Mount Sinai’s GEMS, Rasika is a dedicated advocate for science outreach & education in #NYC! WOW!💯
Scientific publishing needs to change. In a new preprint, HHMI President Erin O'Shea and Bodo Stern argue that the incentives are misaligned. Researchers should be evaluated on what they choose to share, not what journals select. I’m proud that @hhmi_science is leading the way. Read the preprint here: https://t.co/CV1iiwgIvY
an autonomous chromatin signaling axis whereby H3Q5ser is read by the Quinone reductase enzyme 2 (QR2) to support human neuronal gene expression and cellular maturation. Happy reading, everyone!
Interested in histone H3 serotonylation? Then check out our brand new preprint out today! This work was spearheaded by Instructor extraordinaire, Dr. Min Chen of the Maze Lab, and represents another great collaboration with the labs of Drs. Haitao Li, @MuirLab, David Li, Samuele
Marro, and many others! Since H3 serotonylation occurs at Gln5, we (and others) have previously focused much of our attention on the mark's interactions with adjacent H3K4me3 in guiding permissive gene expression in the brain and beyond. Here, however, we have identified

CONGRATULATIONS to @IcahnMountSinai's Dr. Ian Maze on being endowed as a Mount Sinai Professor. This well-deserved recognition is the highest academic distinction a university can bestow upon a faculty member. Incredibly proud to have Dr. Maze as a colleague & mentor!👏
🎉CONGRATULATIONS to the #MazeLab's @BenjaminWeekley who has received an @NIH F32 this year from @NIMHgov to study "Mechanisms of Histone Serotonylation and MLL5 in Coordinating the #Epigenome during #Neurodevelopment". Learn More about Dr. Weekley's work👉https://t.co/i8mQIw4jqx
The One Mind Rising Star Awards were created to fuel bold ideas that improve lives, and 2017 Awardee Ian Maze, PhD, is a powerful example of that vision in action. Congratulations to Dr. @ian_maze2 on receiving the ACNP Daniel H. Efron Research Award for his groundbreaking work that's reshaping how we understand the brain & mental health.
When Dr. Maze received his Rising Star Award, One Mind invested in his pioneering effort to develop a simple blood test that could identify who is most vulnerable to stress, who may develop major depression, & who is most likely to benefit from certain antidepressant medications. This kind of test could transform mental health care by helping people get the right support & the right treatments faster.
That early support helped accelerate discoveries that have continued to push the field forward. Today, Dr. Maze is a Professor & Director of the Center for Neural Epigenome Engineering at @IcahnMountSinai & one of the youngest Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators.
His career reflects exactly why the Rising Star Awards matter: identifying exceptional scientists early & giving them the platform to make breakthroughs that improve lives.

So excited my doctorate work (and this excellent Preview by Yuhui Cui) is finally out @Neuron!
We used human MDD profiling + mouse manipulation studies to identify an epigenetic regulator linking OFC astrocyte reactivity -> neuronal hyperexcitability -> stress susceptibility.
