🔬 News Summary: Marina K. Holz, Ph.D., M.P.H., Dean of the School of Graduate Studies in Biomedical Sciences and Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy at New York Medical College, is spearheading crucial research on Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), a rare lung disease predominantly affecting women of childbearing age. Beyond her laboratory work, Holz is committed to advancing women's careers in the sciences, engaging in focus groups with LAM patients to better understand their needs and enhance their quality of life. 🧬 How do you think inclusion and support for women in science can change the future of medical research?

Meet Sam Chunte Peng, one of Broad's new core members. Hear from Peng as he describes his lab's work developing novel probes and microscopy techniques that enable long-term imaging in living systems. Peng talks about his multidisciplinary approach to research, and the opportunity his lab's probes offer for improved understanding of how molecules interact in disease. #BroadInstitute #Science #Research

🔬A preprint of our article entitled “PARK7/DJ-1 deficiency impairs microglial activation in response to LPS-induced inflammation” is now available online 👇 We found that microglia from DJ-1 KO mice display a distinct phenotype related to type II interferon and a diminished response to LPS-induced inflammation compared to wildtype microglia. These transcriptional changes were also found in human DJ-1 deficient iPSC-derived microglia. Furthermore, distinct morphological changes were found in the cortex of DJ-1 KO mice, collectively showing that the lack of DJ-1 affects microglial neuroinflammatory responses, which may play a causative role in PD onset and progression. This was a joint effort between researchers from University of Luxembourg Luxembourg Institute of Health and Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) - University of Luxembourg https://lnkd.in/eWAiKZMJ

"Impressive science that will make a difference in the future" — a conclusion drawn by a participant reflecting on the content at CNAPS 2024 last week. And we couldn't agree more. This academic conference brought together a notable number of prominent scientists and figures from the field of liquid biopsies. The substantial amount of unpublished data reflected a sharing culture and collaborative spirit among this community. Moreover, it underscores our common commitment to tackling unmet medical needs through collaborative research. As we summarize the content, we can confirm that ultrasensitive analysis of ctDNA is undeniably a crucial piece in this puzzle. 🔥

We are thrilled to introduce new mentor Michael Gallagher! Mike is a #postdoctoralfellow at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research studying #epigenetics in #neurologicaldisorders "Id like to be one of those people who can help others who are uncertain about how academia works, how best to approach it, what the likelihood of various markers of "success" are, and what to prioritize depending on your career goals and personality." https://lnkd.in/eEVw2jNG

I am interested in hiring two postdoctoral associates in my lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to join projects in collaboration with Jeff Lichtman’s lab at Harvard University. We are looking for people who are knowledgeable in transcriptomics and/or connectomics to join ongoing projects related to multisensory systems and neurogenesis in sea slugs. See https://lnkd.in/gF68NRBQ for more information. #transcriptomics #connectomics #postdoc #postdocposition #umassamherst
