Excited to celebrate the graduation of our first PhD student--Dr. Alysa Kasen! @AlysaKasen
It’s been a busy year so far in the Henderson lab! We have several new lab members to welcome—Anika and Noah as new graduate students, Aastha as a new postdoc, Sydney as a new technician, and Giang, Kelsey, and @AbbeyZuzelski who are joining us as summer fellows! Lab is bustling!
Happy to welcome @_AnikaWeekes to the lab for a rotation!
Great Grand Challenges in Parkinson’s Disease conference @VAInstitute! @Alysa_Kasen_ and Tommy Goralski took home poster prizes. #proudpi
Great lab representation at the neurodegeneration GRC in Barcelona!
Congratulations to our grad student, Alysa, who was just awarded an F31 to study the role of tau structure in seeding capacity!
Fall has turned into spring and Ben has transitioned from a rotation student to graduate student in the lab! Welcome, Ben!
Fall has turned into spring and Ben has transitioned from a rotation student to graduate student in the lab! Welcome, Ben!
Findings from @HND_Lab, published in @NatureComms, identified a molecular “fingerprint” that marks brain cells vulnerable to Lewy bodies, key hallmarks of #Parkinsons & Lewy body dementia. The image depicts cells in yellow & pathology in magenta. vai.org/henderson-lewy…
