Neuroscience: the scientific study of the nervous system. The scope of neuroscience has broadened over time to include different approaches used to study the molecular, cellular, developmental, structural, functional, evolutionary, computational, psychosocial and medical aspects of the nervous system. The study of the nervous system can be done at multiple levels, ranging from the molecular and cellular levels to the systems and cognitive levels.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited pieces of cells that are released from the plasma membrane as "ectosomes" and from the endosomal system as "exosomes.&...
Extracellular ligands bind to receptors on the cell surface leading to receptor internalization. Once internalized into small vesicles, the vesicles fuse with an organelle known as the sorti...
Intestinal organoids are self-organizing, 3D structures derived from either pluripotent stem cells or from primary tissues with the abiltiy to recapitulate some of the spatial architecture a...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized vesicles containing active proteins, lipids, and different types of genetic material such as non coding RNA species, related to the characteristics...
Cell culture continues to be a critical tool for most life science research and applications. From HeLa to iPSCs and 3D to organoids, culture methods have become more advanced and techniques...
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs whose expression is altered in several types of human cancers. Recent evidence supports their inter-cellular transfer through extracellular vesicle...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health threat, affecting 11-15% of the U.S. population alone. Currently, there are no effective therapies to cure CKD. Drug therapies are not p...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health threat, affecting over 10% of the world population, including an estimated 37 million Americans. Importantly, glomerular diseases account for...
Extracellular vesicles (EV) from many cell types have demonstrated therapeutic potential against many different diseases. Inhibiting progress in this area is the capability to produce EVs in...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand methods of isolating and enriching exosomes along with their pros/cons of the different techniques 2. What do we mean when we talk about subtyping, and wha...
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a three-dimensional structure that provides physical support for tissues/organs and biochemical/biomechanical cues for tissue morphogenesis, differentiation...
GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiling Technology! The GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) is a novel platform developed by NanoString. This leading digital technology offers multiplexed measureme...
I will present our new computer vision algorithm, ST-Net, which can computationally synthesize spatially resolved transcriptomics directly from H&E histology images (He et al. Nature Bio...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are well-known for their detrimental effects leading to oxidative stress, cell death, aging, and degenerative disorders. However, there is increasing evidence t...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development, detect emerging viral strains and monitor transmission patterns. Enhanced...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) became a tool to diagnose infectious d...
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is caused by the immune system’s inability to respond appropriately to an infection. How sepsis can change the gut microbiome in ways that a...

During this seminar I will present details of my path from Beckman Scholar to MD-PhD, advanced training as a neurologist, then a neurointensivist, and the interleaving of additional research...
In this presentation, I will discuss my experiences leading to my current position as a scientist and team leader, focused on chemical biology and drug discovery in the pharmaceutical indust...
In the adult mammalian hippocampus, neurogenesis (in which new neurons are generated and integrated into the CNS) is believed to underlie learning and memory. Within the hippocampus, numerou...
The rodent visual system has attracted great interest in recent years, owing to its experimental tractability, but the fundamental mechanisms used by the mouse to represent the visual world...
Many experimental approaches rely on controlling gene expression in select subsets of cells within an individual animal. However, reproducibly targeting transgene expression to specific frac...
