Dual effects of ARX poly-alanine mutations in human cortical and interneuron development biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Great news to end the week: after 2.5 years, this paper is finally accepted for publication. Kudos to Joanne for her resilience and the team for generous support. Congratulations to all authors!

Dear colleagues – we have an opening for a postdoctoral associate in the lab to study the molecular machinery of synaptic transmission and mechanisms by which neuronal subtypes differentially control synaptic strength. If you know of someone interested, have them email me. Thanks

For life sciences faculty: does your institution accept @elife reviewed preprints as publications in consideration for tenure and promotion?

Celebrating #EBF3 HADDS Awareness month! Grateful for the generous collaboration & support from the family community & EBF3 HADDS Foundation to advance research. In February, join us in raising awareness for EBF3 conditions, such as HADDS, 10q26-deletion syndrome, ataxia, & autism.

1/2 Rare Disease Day is here! We've been working on this short animation to raise awareness of our rare disease on this special day. It was created in collaboration with Professor Kutsche who was instrumental in discovering CASK mutations as pathogenic. Pls share and retweet!

Proud PI moment -:) Congratulations, Kevin!

Good news! We just got approved for another adult clinical neurophysiology fellowship position BCM Neurology starting as early as July 1, 2024. If anyone is interested, please reach out ASAP! More info here: bcm.edu/departments/ne…

Promising data at #ASGCT2024 from Wu Chen From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine, and Capsida Biotherapeutics on CAP-002 gene therapy for #STXBP1! Dose dependent response in mice, broad brain biodistribution in NHP after IV delivery. Capsida Biotherapeutics in IND-enabling studies w goal of clinical trials starting H1 2025

Dr. Wu Chen led the study and presented the latest progress on #STXBP1 gene therapy, one step closer to stxbp1 .

Join us 6/12 at 12 pm CT for an NAF Science Showcase! Dr. Maimuna Sali Paul, a past NAF grant awardee, will present the research study, "Molecular and cellular mechanisms in EBF3-related cerebellar ataxias and neurodevelopmental disorders." Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
