Finally out! Check our new resource of neuropeptide-GPCR interactions in C. elegans. We identify 461 peptide-GPCR pairs that allow mapping peptidergic circuits. See also this application on the worm's peptide connectome doi.org/10.1101/2022.1β¦ Resource: doi.org/10.1101/2022.1β¦ π§΅

We are thrilled that Hailey McKillop, an Neuroscience at Assumption University student, represented both the Michele Lemons lab and our lab at Society for Neuroscience Events in San Diego! Amazing job! #SfN22


We are thrilled that Stephanie M Ortiz Espaillat, a UPR student, presented her summer work from our lab at Society for Neuroscience Events ! Great to see you again and best wishes on your future endeavors! UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology #SfN22


Way to go Samuel Liu ! Great to see UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology represented!

Congratulations Dr. Alexander!Fantastic defense talk! @KellianneAlexa1 UMass Chan Medical School UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences


Excited to share that Samuel Liu officially received the prestigious NRSA F31 award from NINDSfunding!!! Congrats Sam! UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology UMass Chan Medical School Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

Celebrating @KellianneAlexa1 last day! We are so proud and wish you good luck in your new postdoc position Brigham and Womenβs Research!


Congratulations to our former lab member Dr.@KellianneAlexa1 , for her accepted manuscript to Nature Communications ! We are very proud! Check back here soon for a link to the published article! UMMS Neuroscience UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology UMass Chan Medical School

A new position is available in our department! UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology UMMS Neuroscience Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences UMass Chan Medical School Come join us!

Our labβs new publication in Nature Communications by Jacob Stillmam UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology UMass Chan Medical School Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and Francisco Mendes Lopes. A great joint effort to show how lipofuscin-like autofluorescence can confound microglial engulfment analyses. nature.com/articles/s4146β¦

Started Day 2 at #SfN23 with a talk from Ailsa from the Lodato Lab UMass Chan Medical School Morningside Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences


Go checkout our senior graduate student, Kasturi Biswas, thesis project at SFN PSTR394 BOARD D68! Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Society for Neuroscience Events UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology UMass Chan Medical School UMMS Neuroscience

Excited to share our new paper that defines a synapse elimination program during circuit remodeling directed by the homeodomain transcriptional regulator, DVE-1. Out in Nature Communications! Fantastic work @KellianneAlexa1 UMass Chan Medical School UMMS Neuroscience UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology nature.com/articles/s4146β¦

π¬ The Francis Lab (Michael Francis Lab) at UMass Chan Medical School defines an unappreciated role for DVE-1 in directing #synapse elimination during circuit remodeling, likely through transcriptional regulation of protein degradation processes. Nature Communications | bit.ly/3RhmI7T


Well done Kasturi Biswas on a fantastic #3minutethesis presentation! Stress Wars: Neurons Strike Back



Congrats to our PREP student Caroline Moore on a great final presentation to the whole PREP program! UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology #UMassChanPREP


Another terrific #ceneuro24 topics meeting in the books! Highlights included: Session keynote from Mike Poster from Samuel Liu Catching up with old friends Alison Philbrook Navonil Banerjee
