🧠 Today on #WorldParkinsonsDay, we honor those living with Parkinson’s and the scientists advancing our understanding of #neurodegeneration, from alpha-synuclein to inflammation. Every insight brings us closer to breakthroughs.

Our team receives continued ASAP funding! Excited to investigate the progressive synaptic and network changes impacting cognition in Parkinson’s disease. Looking forward to our joint efforts with Mike Higley and Elena Gracheva at Yale, Laura Volpicelli-Daley at UAB, and Mike Henderson at Van Andel.

April is #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth, an opportunity to highlight why I study this disorder. With support from the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s Initiative #asapresearch.bsky.social, our team investigates cortical aberrations relevant to cognitive impairments patients can experience over time.

We're excited that Dayana Pérez-Acuña joins our group as a postdoc to study cortical aberrations in Parkinson's disease. Her curiosity about synapse biology makes for a perfect start. Celebrating her arrival from Seoul in New Haven style over pizza.

Excited about our lab move to the Yale Neuroscience Institute! We've always been multidisciplinary in our research, and it will be great to learn from our colleagues and work with each other. Kudos to everyone in the lab to organize this move and make it smooth.
