We are excited to share our lab’s latest study lead by our postdoctoral fellow, Baris Tosun (@BarisTosunMD)! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Last day in lab for our outstanding high school student, soon to be @MIT undergraduate, Katherine. We are so proud of her and cannot wait to see all that she accomplishes! 🥳🎓
Check out the newest publication from our lab! Here’s to more in 2025 🥳🎉 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Where’s Waldo?… but Krassi, our staff scientist, version. Happy Halloween from the Sando Lab! Can you point out Krassi??
We had the best time sharing our love for science with the kids at Brain Blast this weekend! We already can’t wait for next year 🔬🧠
I am excited to share our lab’s recent work on the CELSR/ADGRC adhesion GPCRs by @sbandeka in collaboration with @LabSando! (A thread) tinyurl.com/ADGRC1#CELSR #ADGRC (1/8)
Grateful for this constellation of people who make our lab what it is. Thankful for what we have accomplished together in 2023 and looking forward to making big things happen in 2024.
Super cool light sheet microscopy of synaptic connectivity by our graduate student, Shane!
The Sando Lab dressed up as The Magic School Bus characters this year! Happy Halloween! 🎃👻
@VandyPharm is hiring! The Pharm Department @VanderbiltU covers areas such as Neuroscience, Cancer, Drug Development, and others. jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/647494/fac…
We had so much fun at our lab retreat this past weekend! We hiked to a waterfall, went white water rafting, hung out in the lake, and much more. Looking forward to next year!
Injecting virus in two proximal but distinct regions in the hippocampus is difficult, but @ms_cassafrass is well on her way to mastering it!
Congratulations to Jaybree for passing her qualifying exam today! She is the first student from our lab to qual and become a PhD candidate. We are very proud of her! Now on to papers and thesis work.
The lab got together for lunch to say goodbye to our very first research assistant in the lab. Good luck in graduate school, Danielle!
Our first publication is officially live! The adhesion GPCRs CELSR1–3 and LPHN3 engage G proteins via distinct activation mechanisms: Cell Reports cell.com/cell-reports/f…
We’re growing! Thrilled to welcome our newest graduate students, @ms_cassafrass, @MorganOttley_ , Kelly, and James!
We’re so excited to introduce one of the newest members of the lab, Baris! He just moved to Nashville two months ago from Istanbul, Turkey. Baris has worked as a physician for 2 years and aspires to be a physician scientist!
Check out the newest study from our lab! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…
