Happy to share a new pre-print from the lab. Here we use human stem cell models to explore how microglia modulate retinal ganglion cells in developmental and neuroinflammation, both directly and in concert with astrocytes. Amazing work from PhD student Jade Harkin!

Two days, and two impressive awards for PhD student Kaylee. Yesterday she was named among IU's "Elite 50" graduate and professional students, while today she received the Pao-Lo Yu award for the top graduating student in the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics. Proud PI moments!
