Allan-Hermann Pool

Spinal cell types are intensely studied yet poorly understood.

TOMORROW at #SfN25 - Join us for a minisymposium on efforts to characterize & annotate spinal cellular diversity & therapeutically address spinal neural classes.

Swing by the @allanhpool.bsky.social lab posters this morning. Satoshi Ishishita and Liliana Cano Gomez are sharing our latest work on characterizing and dissecting the spinal cord ascending projectome.

Finally - it was an absolute pleasure to co-organize this with Trygve Bakken from the Allen Institute!

Looking forward to your talks: Michael J. Leone, Trygve Bakken, Denise Ramirez, Cindy van Velthoven and Myung Chul (Sam) Noh!

We have a great line-up of speakers from the @alleninstitute.org , @rpseal.bsky.social and Andreas Pfenning's labs and UTSW reporting the latest updates from the Brain Initiative BICAN network and beyond.

Join us on Wednesday afternoon for an @sfn.org minisymposium on the Cellular Structure of the Spinal Cord. We have updates from cell-type annotation and new anatomical atlases,
to cell-type resolved projectomes, pan-mammalian nomenclatures and emerging cell-type targeted therapeutic avenues.

Special shoutout to Satoshi Ishishita and Helen Poldsam from the Pool lab for their contributions.

Exciting collaboration with @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social lab and lead authors Katherin Gabriel and @oliviadavis.bsky.social! First description of sexually dimorphic glial cell classes in the human spinal cord, deep dive into genes driving cross-species cellular differences and much more.

Thank you, Sebastian! Indeed, we have nice critical mass in Dallas.

Thank you, Ishmail!
