My second paper as a postdoc in the lab of @tiffmschmidt.bsky.social is out!
In this work, we developed a novel behavioral paradigm to study how light shapes long-term threat avoidance 🐭🦅 through a retina–thalamic–limbic circuit 👁️🧠
Excited to share it! 🙌🏼

Really cool! Congrats Ruchi, Samer and all the team!!!
Finally out! We studied the retinas of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark, and found that the retinas remain remarkably healthy in animals around 150 years old. What is the mechanism? It may be a highly efficient DNA repair system. Enjoy!

Fantastic symposium at an incredible institute!✨
My job: studying how light shapes behavior.
His job: saving the world.

Really looking forward to it! 🔜🇪🇸
Known as “Tero”. One of most elegant and territorial birds in my hometown 🇦🇷
Delighted to share our latest preprint. It's been a long time coming. Thanks to all the authors for their unique contribution and for for their patience. We show how the visual thalamus deals with active and passive head motion in freely moving animals: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
This is really cool, congrats!
Thank you for the invitation @weillcornell.bsky.social! Fantastic discussions and inspiring colleagues!
We’re hiring! Join the Sivyer Lab at The University of Sydney as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Neurodegeneration within the Snow Vision Accelerator, a $50M initiative tackling glaucoma and optic nerve disease. iPSCs, electrophysiology, drug discovery, and gene therapy.
Excited to share our paper now published in Cell!

Yay! Congrats Chiara and team 🎉
Two new papers to... er... skeet? Blurt? Bluert?
First is that our paper on the transcription factor Adnp and the ChAHP chromatin remodelling complex is now out.
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
I already blurted the paper here: bsky.app/profile/pier...
Our latest paper is out! While the circadian photoentrainment circuit has been extensively studied, the mechanisms regulating its development remain poorly understood. Here we show that retinal Müller glia play a key role in this process. Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
£250 Visual Art Prize Competition!
We're looking for art work to represent our research on sleep & mental health. Deadline: 31st December!

#Circadian #medicine tests if treatment timing can improve patient outcomes. This paper by @mariafelicita.bsky.social @oliviawalch.bsky.social et al considers #chronodiagnostics ...how the outcome of a standard test for glioblastoma differs with time of biopsy. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
For your enjoyment (by @jagarikin)
Our department @ucdavisvetmed.bsky.social @ucdavis.bsky.social is hiring! We welcome research that diversifies or complements existing strengths in gastrointestinal, neuroimmune, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory
systems and/or developmental biology. @socdevbio.bsky.social @ascbiology.bsky.social
Nice to find my research images decorating the department offices 🙂
Teresa Puthussery, a UC Berkeley vision scientist whose insights into the retina could one day help those with vision loss regain their sight, has been named a 2025 MacArthur “genius” Fellow. news.berkeley.edu/2025/10/08/v...
Introducing CellTransformer, a new AI tool developed with UCSF that makes it easier to explore massive neuroscience datasets and identify important subregions of the brain. 🧵
🚨 New preprint out from our lab!

Finally, we demonstrate that these genetic programs are essential for ipRGC-driven behaviors, linking molecular identity to function ☀️/🌛👁️🌈
BRN3B also shapes the morphological features that distinguish ipRGC subtypes!
