Congrats to Mike and Nico -- their paper "RNA methylation influences TDP43 binding and disease pathogenesis in models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia" was just accepted at Molecular Cell!

We came packing to the 9th annual symposium of the Protein Folding Diseases Initiative. Megan, Josephine, Genesis, Aditya, Corey, Raquel and Anika all presented posters.

​Quantity AND quality.

Congratulations to Jason and Christina on the birth of their daughter, Evelyn Alice Chua! 

Jason's paper on MTMR5 and neuronal autophagy was just accepted at Current Biology — congrats Jason!!

Sadly, they don't accept memes as graphical abstracts.

Check out the final version via ScienceDirect (until July 5th).

Congrats to Jason Chua, who was recently appointed as an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins University! We will miss Jason, probably just as much as we will miss his memes and incredibly detailed video representations of the complex intersection between biology, socioeconomical factors, modern epidemiology and career development. 

Quinlan Doctrove, a UM PREP student who made up part of the Magnificent Matrin Monopoly, will be attending the Neuroscience Graduate Program at UM. Congrats Quinn!
