May’s presentation at SFN
May gave a fantastic talk last week at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting in Chicago on her project “Vitamin D supplementation rescues aberrant NF-kB pathway activation and partially ameliorates Rett syndrome cortical phenotypes in Mecp2 mutant mice”.
Welcome Ketan!
Welcome to the newest member of our team, Research Associate Dr. Ketan Marballi.
Congrats Niko!
Congratulations to Niko who aced his qualification exams, and is now officially a PhD candidate!
Congrats to May!
Congratulations are in in order for May Ribeiro who was recently awarded a Research Excellence Doctoral Fellowship from Syracuse University!
Our NIH R01 has been funded!
Our R01 proposal “Restoration of Homeostasis of Downstream Targets of MeCP2 as a Potential Therapeutic Avenue for Rett Syndrome” has been funded by NINDS! Our first R01 was cause for some celebration – but now back to work!
