Proud mentor moment as Shruti passes her Ph.D. qualifiers 🎉 Congratulations, Shruti!

Reactivation of mammalian regeneration by turning on an evolutionarily disabled genetic switch | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

It was fun presenting our work at the Ishino Satoshi-ASN conference last week. Manasi Agrawal, Ph.D. meghal Shruti Ghumra

Super cool results from the Vande Velde lab. TDP-43 pathology triggers SRRM4-dependent cryptic splicing of G3BP1 in ALS/FTD biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Meghal and Shruti received the BHI travel award. Congratulations both! brainhealthinstitute.rutgers.edu/2025/09/22/con…

Thrilled to share our new work in Nature Neuroscience! Together with amazing collaborators and led by Ariel Ionescu, we discovered that muscle-derived miR-126 controls local axonal TDP-43 synthesis and protects neuromuscular junctions in ALS. nature.com/articles/s4159…
