Combinatorial mechanisms specify cellular location and neurotransmitter identity during regeneration of planarian neurons During regenerative neurogenesis, neurons must be created in the right types and locations. Though regenerative neurogenesis is limited in humans, other animals use regenerative neurogenesis to faithf...

A bit of happy news. I'm very excited to share the newest from the R-G lab, a preprint focusing on regenerative neurogenesis in our favorite worms! Grad students @kendallbclay.bsky.social and @taylormlanier.bsky.social co-authored this awesome manuscript. 1/5

So if you know of anyone looking for a (super cool and passionate) postdoctoral trainee, in a lab with models for neurodegenerative diseases (bonus points for an ALS model), HIT ME UP! (4/4)

As a senior graduate student, I’m starting to identify potential postdoctoral opportunities. Though I love my worms, I’m excited to transition into a different model organism to ask questions about neurodegenerative diseases! (3/

I am collaborating with a colleague, Kendall Clay, to elucidate the genetic mechanisms required for regeneration and maintenance of dopaminergic neurons in planarians. My thesis work has focused on uncovering these mechanisms in the peripheral nervous system! (2/
