The Lippi lab is hiring a postdoctoral associate! We built new technologies to study post-transcriptional regulation in the healthy and diseased brain. We are recruiting motivated and talented scientists who will use these tools to discover new biology and new therapies.
Love seeing who my 2025 classmates are and all the amazing science they are doing. Shout to out @juanbonifacino.bsky.social and @dattalab.bsky.social, hope we can share a🍸at the ceremony. Congrats to everyone!

Some very nice 50 year old immunostaining that showed for the first time that Substance P was in sensory neurons and their central terminals. Only three pictures, published in Science! www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Sort of last minute but my group is looking to recruit a a recent college grad as postbac to start this summer and work on PIEZO channels. Project involves cell based assays, patch clamp recording, and imaging. Info on the NIH program can be found here: www.training.nih.gov/research-tra...

The last 2 weeks have been a blur, but sadly I'm no longer at the NIH. Working for #painresearch at the NIH was a great honor and the best job of my life. As part of this amazing team, I'm proud to have worked on the HEAL 2025 Annual Report - pls share! heal.nih.gov/about/nih-he...

Touch, Our Most Complex Sense, Is a Landscape of Cellular Sensors | Quanta Magazine
Every soft caress of wind, searing burn and seismic rumble is detected by our skin’s tangle of touch sensors. David Ginty has spent his career cataloging the neurons beneath everyday sensations.

Happy “May the 4th” or as I like to call it “Piezo Day”.
Here’s just the most recent of the many NCCIH studies of #pain (from colleague @alexchesler.bsky.social published last week in Nature). Nearly 50% of NCCIH funding goes to studying pain, with a focus on nonpharmacological treatments and mechanisms. The proposed budget eliminates NCCIH.

An example of what we in the NIH Intramural program can accomplish. Excited to share our latest paper in close collaboration with Nick Ryba's group. We examined how inflammation transforms representation in somatosensory neurons to cause pain. Lots of surprises here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Huge congratulations to the always amazing, truly brilliant @clairelepichon.bsky.social who just received TENURE from our NIH intramural program.
Turns out, two of pain’s most famous messengers — Substance P and CGRPα — might not be so essential after all. Mice missing both still felt pain just fine, challenging decades of assumptions about how pain signals travel. buff.ly/ypISrtx
