Our newest review article is now out in Neurochemistry International! This is part of a special issue on Epigenetics in Nervous System Development and Function that I am working on as a guest editor. Check out the paper with the link below and stay tuned for the link to the completed special issue!
Congratulations Alaba!
Congratulations to Alaba who was awarded the top poster prize in Biology at the Syracuse University Undergraduate Research Day! And even bigger congrats on being selected as a University Scholar, the highest achievement for graduating students at SU! Best of luck in medical school and we hope to win you back to research some day!!!
Welcome to new lab members!
A big welcome to our new research associate Angelica Kowalchuk, and rotating graduate student Clementine Harvey! We are also happy to say that CJ Arnell is no longer a rotating grad student is now a member of the MacDonald Lab. We are glad to have you all on board!
Welcome CJ, Jiali, and Ashis!
It’s a busy time in the MacDonald lab – a big welcome to postdoctoral fellow Ashis Sinha and our two new rotating graduate students, CJ Arnell and Jiali He.
