& a great time to share a life update! (better late than never) I’ve recently started as a Postdoc in the Wills lab at University of Washington where I’ll be studying the role of fibroblasts during regeneration in Xenopus 🐸🧠 On my way to becoming a frog wrangler @frogwranglers.bsky.social
Congrats to Hannah @hejcell.bsky.social on the last of FOUR 1st author papers from her thesis work & short postdoc in the @siegenthalerlab.bsky.social - excited for all your future discoveries in the Wills Lab! 🐸 🧠

Thrilled to share this last little bit of my thesis work w/ @siegenthalerlab.bsky.social! 🐭🧠 Generating the PDGFRa cKO line we use in this paper was no trivial task, spanning multiple years (& a pandemic!) We were extremely excited to see this phenotype & even more excited to share it with everyone!
Our work out in @devbiol.bsky.social, PDGFra is needed for 🧠 perivascular fibroblast development... ⬇️ perivascular fibroblast = ⬇️ perivascular macrophage...cross-talk? 👀
Led by Hannah Jones @hejcell.bsky.social w/ Kelsey Abrams, Sophia Kim, excited for more projects w/ @fantauzzolab.bsky.social!
