Nanobinders for Synaptotagmin 1 enable the analysis of synaptic vesicle dynamics in rodent and human models. Synaptic neurotransmission is a critical hallmark of brain activity and one of the first processes to be affected in neural diseases. Monitoring this process, and in particular synaptic vesicle recycl...

Excited for our latest work! We developed nanobinders for the luminal domain of Synaptotagmin 1 (calcium sensor for synaptic vesicles). Thanks among others to @verstrekenlab.bsky.social @opazo.bsky.social @meunierlab.bsky.social @volkerhaucke-lab.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

CZI Neurodegeneration Challenge Network Projects We’re proud to support research that aims to advance the study of neurodegenerative disease and accelerate progress toward cures.

I am very excited and grateful to be one of the pairs of collaborators funded by the CZI Neurodegeneration Challenge Network, which will allow me to start a new project with one of my favorite scientists: Giordano Lippi at Scripps!
