Starting a new lab in these times has been challenging but kickboxing has always been a part that’s helped deal with it! So, ofcourse I did a thing 🤓 a milestone I didn’t think I could achieve but HERE WE ARE! officially a @LesMills instructor. Let’s go!! 🥊

So proud of my amazing undergrads, who presented their summer research in the lab at UAB summer research expo! Big shoutout to our AHA SURE scholar Ashlyn! 🥼🔬

Super excited to have (e-)presented our work as an invited talk in “ A Blueprint of Complex 3D Brain Architectures” symposium at TERMIS-EU 2025 @eutermis.bsky.social in Germany! Huge thanks to the organizers for the invite! @uabneuro.bsky.social

End of semester lab social with this amazing bunch ❤️!! This semester was nothing short of a whirlwind but I’m so grateful for this group and so proud of all of their achievements! #weescaped

New brain aging study is out today in Nature The largest single-cell RNA seq dataset of mouse brain aging reveals incredible insights and could pave the way for future therapies to slow or manage the impacts of the aging process. 🧵 #studyBRAIN

My favorite #newPI thing is bragging on my trainees and I’m grateful to have so many opportunities to do so! Not only did Chiara present her amazing work at the Fall Expo, she WON the BEST POSTER for her first ever presentation!

New publication ⚠️This study was led by the✨Dr. Alexa Anderson✨, who graduated with her PhD back in 2023. Here she investigated the process of vasculogenesis (not sprouting angiogenesis) in #MAPgel. She did a very comprehensive an amazing job! 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Engineering the Microstructure and Spatial Bioactivity of MAP Scaffolds Instructs Vasculogenesis In Vitro and Modifies Vessel Formation In Vivo

Both the microstructure and the spatial presentation of bioactive cues are tunable properties in microporous annealed particle (MAP) scaffolds responsible for guiding cell responses. When optimized, ...

This was such a #proudPI moment! It is truly an honor to be part of @juhisamal.bsky.social 's mentoring team. It's the best to see great people become great PIs. It's not enough to be a great scientist.

Post a photo of yourself from a different era - my 'rocking the bangs' days 🫣Look at the newbie in her first month of grad school! Still a huge fan of retro-chic though 😆

Here's a great opportunity for undergrads to apply for a summer internship at the NIH! Applications are due Jan. 8th. Follow link for more details and to apply: www.nibib.nih.gov/labs-at-nibi...

One of my favorite parts of this semester was being nominated for junior female faculty leadership program at UAB Medicine! It was an amazing opportunity to develop our leadership skills but more importantly, finding this community of badass medicine faculty at UAB was invaluable! #SAILgraduate2024

Starter pack for those working/interested in the drug delivery space. I fought the app for several hours trying to put together the list of people. I likely missed many of you! Please share and let me know if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/L11HkZ3

First official introduction post here! Starting over to stay in touch my lovely academia peeps 💕 Here is Glycans for Regeneration lab at an early end of semester lab outing! Despite the sweaty pic, fun was had 😏😎
