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!

Grant funding from Rettsyndrome.org

We are very excited that our proposal to Rettsyndrome.org has been funded! This project focuses on inhibition of the NF-kB pathway as a potential therapeutic avenue for Rett syndrome, and examines the underlying cellular targets. We are looking forward to expanding this work!

Welcome Back!

We would like to welcome May back from Austria where she was attending the 2nd Biannual ISN Flagship School. This week long program focused on the “Construction and reconstruction of brain circuits: Normal and pathological axon guidance”. We look forward to hearing about what she learned!

Lab Departures

Sadly, we had to wish farewell to Seth Moore and Karla Quintana, who are off to bigger and brighter things. Best of luck with your MD/PhD Seth! And congratulations to Karla on your graduation! The lab won’t be the same without you both!

Congrats May!

Congratulations to May who recently passed her Qualification Exams. Officially a PhD Candidate now!

Congrats Camerin!

Congratulations to Camerin who was awarded a Summer Support Research Award from the Department of Biology, and was accepted to the Syracuse University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Research Program. Great to have you in the lab full-time this summer!
