It’s been a long journey🚢, with about 1 & 1/2 year since posting on bioRxiv and of course even longer since the project started, but our paper has finally been published in @NatureNeuro 🌠 Congrats @BrandonDLe @jmvalone4 @jsteinlab and all co-authors ! nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Dr. Jason Stein's lab (@jsteinlab) at @UNC determined the cross-site reproducibility of human cortical #organoid 🧫 (hCO) differentiation using three independent research groups to assay hCOs in multiple differentiation replicates. @stemcellreports | bit.ly/4dDxaiJ

The authors of @AJHGNews' latest article identify cell-type-specific genetic regulation of RNA editing and alternative polyadenylation in human neurons and neural progenitor cells. Read the full article here: cell.com/ajhg/abstract/S0002… #ASHG @jsteinlab

Super excited to host @BrandonDLe from @jsteinlab next Tuesday at 3pm for the #neurogenomics seminars. Bran will present the lab's excellent recent work linking wnt pathway activation with context specific regulatory QTLs. DM/email for the zoom link

The lightsheet has landed! 🔬🤩🎉 After a lot of preparation and a full week of install, we were thrilled to see some images of distinct nuclei in dense regions of cleared mouse brains and are excited to welcome the @ASIImaging ct-dSPIM to the @UNC_NMC!

Check out our lab's recent work mapping response ca/eQTLs in the context of Wnt stimulation 🪄⚡️.
Excited to share our new preprint, where we investigated context-specific gene regulation and QTLs by stimulating 🪄⚡️ the Wnt pathway in human neural progenitor cells🧠 (co-led with two wonderful grad students @brandonDLe @jmvalone4 in @jsteinlab) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/🧵

GWAS in a dish! GWAS of neural progenitor cell proliferation on lithium treatment (n=80) identified a locus on chr 3, a known risk locus for bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and intelligence. Beautiful! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

🧬A GWAS study from @jsteinlab has found a common genetic variation that influences lithium-induced neural progenitor proliferation in cell culture. Nice approach to identifying context-specific effects of psychotropic drugs. 👇sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
