My lab’s major NIH grant was among those blocked in the attack on UCLA. Because our lab website discusses inclusivity? Because this grant had a diversity-based supplement? Simply because I work at UCLA? Who knows. Feeling a strange mix of unsurprised, furious, and numb.

Glia folks, I will be presenting a poster tomorrow (07/10/25) at Euroglia in Marseille for the #GLIA2025!
I will talk about how lysosomal status can regulate microglia phenotypes during aging.
Stop by poster T05-089C and say hi!

New preprint alert! 🚨
Excited to share a piece of my postdoctoral work from Lindsay De Biase lab in collaboration with Laura DeNardo lab showing that microglia regulate nucleus accumbens synaptic development and circuit function underlying threat avoidance behaviors.

Some news about last week: I am deeply honored to receive the 2024 Waxman Family Drive Award from the Waxman Family to initiate groundbreaking research on Alzheimer’s Disease.
And coming from a family impacted by AD, it means a lot.

Freshly joined this platform and I love what I see here. I’ll be sharing some of my works about microglia! Stay tuned!
