I’m extremely honored to be a recipient of the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award!

Congratulations Ishmail!

UMass Chan scientists show how the non-neuronal brain cells communicate to coordinate rewiring of brain A study by Dorothy P. Schafer, PhD, and Travis E. Faust, PhD, explains how two different cell types in the brain communicate in response to changes in sensory input.

Congratulations!

Thrilled to announce that I will be joining the @mountsinaicvri.bsky.social at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as an Assistant Professor in January! My laboratory will focus on nutrient transport and cellular metabolism in physiology and disease.

Happy to share our new paper in @nature.com led by staff scientist Xuejing Liu. We report identification of a UCP1-independent pathway of brown fat thermogenesis involving ATP-consuming metabolism of BCFA in peroxisomes. #Obesity #T2D

Thrilled to share our new paper @cp-cell.bsky.social:
“Microglia–astrocyte crosstalk regulates synapse remodeling via Wnt signaling.”

This work demonstrates the necessity of glia–glia communication and coordination during synapse remodeling.

Congratulations to you & Dori. She had mentioned about the story when I was hosting her at Iowa state earlier this year!

Neutral lipid processing in glia is sexually dimorphic and promotes sleep through diacylglycerol catabolism https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.09.10.674993v1

Amazing video!

You’re welcome Rory. Great to hear from you! :) best wishes & good luck for your new beginnings, you’ll be great! 👌🏻😄

Congratulations Rory! ✨

Congratulations Jaeda!

Very cute dog Annika!

It was inspiring to attend the Changing brain conference. Some brilliant science across the field of neuroscience was on display.Fortunate to have presented my research and discuss it some of the best neuroscientists in USA & Europe. Thanks for the travel support from the organising committee.

A phenomenal talk and a fantastic kickstart to our fall gcdb seminar series by @mariadelapax.bsky.social this afternoon!

👏🏽🎉

Thank you Shefali. He is just amazing, equally excited. 😄✨

For those in Iowa State and in the area, we have a fantastic start to the GDCB departmental seminar for Fall 2025 as we host Prof. Alejandro Sanchez Alvarado @planaria1.bsky.social from the Stowers Institute @stowersinstitute.bsky.social. It is an honor & privilege to host him. ✨

We are still accepting applications for the #postdoc opportunity in the lab 🕵‍♀️ 🧠
