We're very proud of our (very soon to be) graduates! Congratulations, Miranda, Joseph, and Olivia! #UCDavisCommencement
Join us for a conversation with our new Chair, Dr. Wendy Campana!
#ARVO2026 was apparently so massive that we missed some of our own presentations. So we held a post-ARVO poster fest to finally see each other’s work. Yay #visionscience.
🚨 New paper alert!!
Anna La Torre@latorrelab.bsky.social · 3mo agoExcited to share our new paper! This work explores how Sonic hedgehog signaling helps coordinate retinal patterning and neurogenesis, including regulation of both cell cycle exit and progenitor competence during mammalian eye development journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...
🚨 New Paper Alert! Important new work from @stemcells.bsky.social lab on how mutant H3.3 reshapes the epigenetic and chromatin landscape in diffuse midline glioma (DMG). A fascinating look at how histone mutations can rewire chromatin architecture in cancer 🧬
Paul Knoepfler@stemcells.bsky.social · 3mo agoExcited about my lab's new paper: Evidence for coordinate CTCF and histone H3.3 activities in K27M diffuse midline gliomas link.springer.com/article/10.1... Aiming for targetable epigenomic dependencies of this fatal childhood brain tumors #DIPG
Our new paper is out! 🎉 Let-7 doesn’t act through a single pathway: it controls neocortical neuron fate and migration via distinct downstream mechanisms, with RBX2 dedicated to migration. A new layer of post-transcriptional control shaping cortical development www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We're hosting Dr. Yimin Zou from UC San Diego for our iBIO seminar series! We're ready to learn about axon guidance and synapse formation #Science!
Fantastic presentation from Dr. Qizhi Gong's lab for our Research in Progress Seminar Series!! This was a compelling look at immune responses of the olfactory epithelium 👃🏻
Science AND love: the Artemis 2 crew named a lunar crater “Carroll”
Astronomy 🔭@astronomy.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe Artemis 2 crew name a new crater on the moon after Reid Wiseman's wife Carroll. One of the most beautiful videos you’ll ever see 🥹
