Serhat Turkmen and Ly Luu will present their work on the role of bacterial food sources and fatty acid metabolism on 🪱 development, physiology, and behavior (963C).

Ananya Theneti, in collaboration with Gabbi Prince, will present their work on establishing a model of early life stress in 🪱 and examining the role of neuronal communication in ELS's effect on neuronal maturation (782).

3 more posters on the last full day tomorrow (Tuesday). Molly Reynolds will present her work on the role of electrical neuro-communication, namely inx-19, in post-embryonic neuronal maturation (754C).

Shelby and Dalton will be serving double duty and present their optimization of the INTACT protocol, as an alternative to FACS/FANS, for fast and semi-automated nuclei isolation of specific cell types for bulk and single-nuclei gene expression and chromatin landscape analysis (501B).

HeeKyung Lee will present her work examining the role of chromatin modifiers/remodelers in learning and memory across development (504B).

Dalton Patterson will present his work on the role of alternative splicing in post-embryonic nervous system maturation (530B).

Prince Mosley, will present a second poster on behalf of #TeamCocaine, their efforts to establish a paradigm of chronic cocaine treatment in order to better understand cocaine/substance use disorder and possible inter-/transgenerational effects (713B).

First up, Shelby Lauzon and Audrey Gilbert will present on behalf of #TeamCocaine (also including Prince Mosley, Elizabeth Eason and Ian Shen) their work using 🪱 to understand conserved mechanisms of acute cocaine exposure (500B), in collaboration with @csybio.bsky.social

Later that night at the poster session, @amit25uab.bsky.social will present his work on using AlphaFold and Deep Learning approaches to predict and de-orphanize neuropeptide-GPCR pairs, inspired and building off of previous experimental validation work from Beets Lab (603A).

In parallel, Craig Peters will present work he started as an undergrad examining the role of cell-intrinsic timers, specifically LIN-41, in the maturation of the nervous system during the adolescence to adult transition (Genetics I, Conf. Center Ballroom) chaired by Brandon Carpenter and myself

First, Gabbi Prince will present her work on how cell-extrinsic factors, specifically chemical neurotransmission, regulate post-embryonic nervous system maturation (Neurobiology 1 Session, California Hall, 9:06AM). Check out all the other great talks in the session including @csybio.bsky.social

Before they officially leave the lab, you can catch the amazing work that they have done in the lab at #Worm25. More on that in the coming days!
