A great first poster presentation from our talented associate researcher Tova Lambert !!!

Two new preprints from the lab are out now! Both from our longstanding collaboration with Kristen Brennand lab, we explore 1) R loops in the developing brain and 2) chromosomal conformations in schizophrenia risk loci biorxiv.org/content/10.110… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…



As we recognize #FBIat15, read how our Friedman Brain Institute scientists contributed to technologies responsible for the current renaissance in neuroscience in our Specialty Report: mshs.co/3PGbS95 Panos Roussos Towfique Raj 迷えるMaze AkbarianLab


It's great to see work from our lab and Kristen Brennand featured on the cover of molecularpsychiatry this month! nature.com/mp/volumes/28/…

Mount Sinai Hospital AkbarianLab and UCLA Geschwind Lab @ UCLA are seeking postmortem brain tissue from patients with FGF14-GAA / SCA27B, RFC1 disease / CANVAS and FA (motor cortex and/or cerebellum). Contact: [email protected] Thank you!


Excited to present our new publication in JVirology Editors and honored to be the Editor's pick! Led by the talented Alice Min we show a new humanized mouse model of neuroHIV through very collaborative effort between our lab, Talia H. Swartz and Ben Chen labs. journals.asm.org/doi/epub/10.11…


We're so thrilled to see Alice Min amazing work on a humanized mouse model of neuroHIV as the top featured story on the monthly HIV News from NIDA letter! Talia H. Swartz JVirology Editors



Congratulations to @WahlNi Sergio Espeso-Gil and all co-authors on this collaborative work recently published in Molecular Cell !!!

Check out the new publication from Dr. Jennifer Blaze and Caleb Browne showing the importance of the tRNA epitranscriptome in opioid addiction!

#ThisWeekInNPP Work from Dr. Jennifer Blaze Caleb Browne Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD AkbarianLab & Vanna Zachariou shows that dynamic regulation of tRNA cytosine methylation is associated with opioid reward processing in the medial prefrontal cortex of rodents nature.com/articles/s4138…

Last day in the Akbarian lab for Tova Lambert , the baking, 10x and FACS expert, organizing extraordinaire! We will miss her (and according to her amazing cake, she will miss us too)! Best of luck to Tova as she begins her PhD at Albert Einstein College of Medicine - Official


After over 8 years at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai from postdoc to instructor to research assistant professor in AkbarianLab I will be joining a biotech startup in NYC in a few weeks. Leaving academia was a difficult decision, and I have a lot of mixed feelings about this career change 1/3
