Over the last century, research has helped improve the early detection and treatment of serious diseases. But future progress is at risk unless we continue federal funding for medical research. #AmericansForMedicalResearch

Super excited to share our newest story! We found that despite their well-known reliance on glucose, neutrophils also like lipids! Lipid uptake is induced by immune signals, and we think this is important in atherosclerosis and other lipotoxic metabolic diseases! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to be involved with this work driven by @dremilygoldberg.bsky.social and her team! Read the preprint now! "Neutrophil TLR2 signaling promotes lipid accumulation and vascular plaque growth"

I stood up for science! Shoutout to @astratman.bsky.social for the sign idea. #StandUpForScience #standupforscience2025

My colleague Dan beat me to the punch but I am so thankful that my hometown paper (and others) was willing to share this with the community.

Daniel Gorelick@danielgorelick.bsky.social · 2y ago

My colleague @rnareylab.bsky.social wrote this editorial for her hometown area newspaper. Well done & more please! www.heraldbanner.com/opinion/colu...

Exciting news! We are launching Applied Health Analytics for Delivery & Innovation (AHADI) led by Abdisalan Noor and @jalinegerardin.bsky.social. AHADI is an organization focused on Africa that works for countries on #SelfRelianceInHealthAnalytics Learn more here 👉🏾 shorturl.at/8XQVN.

Hello #Bluesky! We'd like to introduce ourselves... We are the WashU Ciliopathy Research Group - a multidisciplinary team of investigators at Washington University in St Louis that perform fundamental, translational, and clinical research on #ciliopathies. Follow us for updates from the group! 👇

NK: PIEZO1 p.Pro42Leu causes narrowed aorta in zebrafish, in work by @astratman.bsky.social lab #ASHG24

This one is a great collaboration with @astratman.bsky.social on characterization of U12-spliceosome gene ZCRB1, U12-intron splicing and its role in ciliogenesis and WNT-signaling. Halloween passed but we can still get headless zebrafish. #RNA #splicing #RNAbiology www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

*Tap tap tap* Is this thing on? New paper alert from the lab, featuring first author Dymonn Johnson and a whole host of collaborators who helped this paper come together. We couldn't have done this without the whole team! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our new paper on mural cell populations in the developing zebrafish! What transgenic marker should be used to see mural cells in different vascular beds over time? Read on to find out about Pdgfrb vs Tagln expression-with some new twists: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Go check this out! Fun to collaborate on work driven by the Nicoli Lab 🐟🧠🔬

🧪 3 tenure-track microbiome faculty job openings in Hawaii! 🌞 🏄🏽‍♀️ 🍄 🧫 🧬 🦃

Anthony Amend@fungaloha.bsky.social · 3y ago

Please spread the word about 3 tenure track, hard-money microbiome faculty positions. These are well-resourced, come with their own grants, few teaching requirements (but lots of opportunities), potential footprint in our marine lab. www.schooljobs.com/careers/hawa...

Super proud of this work! Still much to do, but excited to see where it takes us! thanks Hao for the feature! 😀

WashU CellBio is launching a new program called the RISE Fellows Program: cellbiology.wustl.edu/education/ri... This is a mentored-fellowship to tenure track faculty position open to defending PhD candidates/< 3rd year postdocs. All areas of cell biology considered. Reach out with any questions!

Congrats @teresaomeara.bsky.social on this beautiful work!!

New preprint from the lab! Gain and loss of CXCR3 activity in endothelial cells alters their vessel expansion and stabilization potential. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

One reason I got into science social media was a small project to highlight women whose work I admire in neural engineering & systems/comp neuro. Since X is dying, I'm migrating those posts here. To give folks their due, we'll go one post per day. Follow along to celebrate some amazing science!

Excited for postdoc Javier Abello's appointment to WashU's TriMED T32! Exciting working coming- stay tuned!
