New paper from our Lab! where Dr Pelzel shows how the use of an FDA designated orphan drug Silmitasertib can ameliorate HD-like symptoms in a mouse model of HD even when testing at symptomatic stages. This is a very promising potential treatment.

US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.

CMND study section was supposed to meet Feb 24-25. Does anyone know if this meeting happened? Researchers are completely kept in the dark about what is going on.
Today we had a fantastic GPN (@UMNeurosci) and former Gomez-pastor lab grad student @zaratekarate28 visiting the UMN and giving an inspiring talk to the Med school graduate students about her career trajectory at the Graduate school PhD candidate celebration. Very proud of you!

What is this nonsense? I am waiting for scores on a new R01 I submitted in August, I just submitted all the docs for an R01 renewal, and 5 min later I am working on a new R01. Feeling exhausted 😩😩😩
Congratulations to Dr. @Taylor_G_Brown for an outstanding thesis defense. So proud of you!
I just came back from a wonderful visit at @Creighton. I met very talented students and faculty was amazing. Thanks Gwen for the invitation and thanks @cocacolaFroula for the connection.
The application for the UMN Go4brains neuroscience summer program for highschool students is open!!!!! sites.google.com/umn.edu/go4…
