And a warm welcome to our incoming MS students as well - including Lily Corrice who is joining @ShresthaLab for her MS thesis!
Warm welcome to our incoming PhD students—especially our former lab manager, Andrew Gallagher, and rotation student, Pat Wertimer! Until this summer, Pat was a lab technician in the Heintz lab @RockefellerUniv, where I completed my PhD. In a way, a full circle moment. :)

Our talented undergraduate RA, Amber Wilson, was awarded the Frances Velay Women in Science Fellowship this summer to investigate the neural mechanisms of avoidance learning and memory in the medial prefrontal cortex. Check out her interview here! youtube.com/watch?v=BYcvW8…
Another fantastic news: Our postdoc, Javed Iqbal, has also been awarded the TPDA travel award from SfN. Please look out for their posters at @SfNtweets this November!! 🎇
We have updated the News section of our lab website to highlight recent developments since June 2024. Updates include new publications, awards, presentations, and other accomplishments by our team. Check them out! shresthalab.org/news
Congratulations to our PhD student, Saheed Lawal, on receiving the Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) from the Society for Neuroscience (SfN)! 🎉 Way to go, @@Lawdex01! 🙌✨
Such a pleasure to host @RangarajuVidhya, who gave a *terrific* talk today on molecular mechanisms that provide spatially-restricted energy supply to fuel local synaptic plasticity!

Our undergraduate student, Amber Wilson (Simons STEM scholar), did a fabulous job presenting her work over the summer at the URECA symposium today! 🎉
Join us in congratulating Saheed Lawal @Lawdex01 in the @ShresthaLab on being selected as a fellow in the Scholars in Biomedical Sciences program! This exciting program provides translational medicine training to integrate basic and clinical research. Congrats Saheed!
Thrilled to share our new work on the neural mechanisms underlying pathological anxiety in Tuberous Sclerosis complex. Great teamwork from @neuro_living, @Lawdex01, @RodrigoTrianaD2, @ksanagustinr, @Mauricio_Neuro +others in @ShresthaLab & @KlannLab. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/n)
Our work and our lab members have been featured here in this nice article by Daniel Dunaief: tbrnewsmedia.com/sbus-prerana-s…
Quick repost: We have an open NIH-funded postdoc position for studying the role of circuit-defined protein synthesis in consolidating emotional memories. Experience with molecular/cellular OR systems/behavior neuroscience is preferred. Apply here: stonybrooku.taleo.net/careersection/…
I am very proud of our brilliant Postdoc @SunghoonKim0825 for securing a coveted faculty job in S Korea (details to come soon). Bittersweet moments of bidding farewell to our star researcher who is soon heading his own lab- look out for great science from the Kim Lab! 🎉
This @stonybrooku assistant professor is using her #SUNYResearch to make advancements in mental health.👏🏼 Thanks to a $2.2M grant from @nimh, Dr. Prerana Shrestha will explore how protein synthesis in areas of the brain leads to PTSD memories. 🔗newsday.com/news/health/pt…
My recent R01 from NIMH for studying the neural mechanisms underlying emotional memories, relevant for PTSD, has been featured in a press release by @stonybrooku. Immensely grateful for my team at Stony Brook who carry out the hard work, [1/2] news.stonybrook.edu/newsroom/neuro…
