So excited to see this announcement. Gary’s lab was right next door to my grad lab, and he chaired all my advisory committees throughout grad school.
BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
Delighted to share that Sydney's (@sciencey_syd) paper has been accepted! Celebrating as a lab.

“Twisting dendrites” by Dale Chihuly. Of course I had to go see it. Made my neurobiology nerd + art nerd heart happy. #cshlneurocon at Cold Spring Harbor Labs

Check out our surprising finding in nuclear invagination's function: regulating ribosome biogenesis. Nuclear tunnels = more ribosomes! I am proud of my talented student @YinyinZhuang, and inspiring collaborators @wtzhaolab, @ChrisEMiles, and @razorenovalab!

New paper from @ThompsonPeerLab in my department (Developmental and Cell Biology) @UCIBioSci . Congrats Vini, Vicky, Dario and Katie!
I'm delighted to share my grad student Vini's publication! doi.org/10.1016/j.pneurobio.… (open access to all) One of the first major publications to come from my lab.
He started off with a very basic question: how do neurons **sense** injury to their dendrites?
Big thanks to our home @UCIrvine in the School of BioSci @UCIBioSci, and the support we've received from @NINDSfunding, the @ucicnlm, the @obc_uci, @ucleads, and @UciUrop .
