Come and hear about how the synaptic protein, SV2a, is not always found at synapses. To find out where else it is, come and see our group's poster #384 today. #AAIC25

Pleased to play a small part in this study. Congrats to everyone involved!
Very excited to share our latest publication in @NatureGenet! Our manuscript shows how Mendelian Randomization (MR) isolates putatively causal links between cell-type specific gene expression & brain phenotypes.

Why do 95% of new drugs fail? Often, it's the wrong drug target.
Researchers from @imperialbrains.bsky.social mapped how genes worked in 2.3M+ brain cells. The result? Dozens of promising new drug targets for brain conditions like #Alzheimers and #Parkinsons.

Women faculty are more likely to leave their jobs than men, most often due to workplace climate, rather than work-life balance.
