Happy to collaborate with @CGAlmeidaG on this paper where we studied bin1 in a context of alzheimer disease
🧠 What if Alzheimer’s risk starts at the synapse?
In our new study led by Mariana Barata, we show that BIN1, a key AD risk gene, regulates inhibitory synapses—loss of BIN1 → hyperexcitability before Aβ.

MAGIC aims to develop effective treatments for people with rare #MuscularDystrophy.
These rare conditions affect the muscles and can impact walking, eating, sleeping and breathing.
By bringing together leading experts we will push research forwards, faster.🧑🔬

We are delighted to lead @EU_Commission-funded BIOMICS (coordinated by Nuno and managed by Diana) and partner with @embl (as well as with @CRGenomica and @ETH_en) in advancing biomedical data science and fostering critical thinking. Stay tuned: official launch in January!
EMBL and its partners have received funding from the European Commission for two new Twinning Projects – BIOMICS and FORGENOM II – which will build expertise and research capacity in its member states Portugal and Slovakia, respectively.

My lab at UCSF (hsiunglab.org) is looking to recruit multiple postdocs across the spectrum of wet/dry lab interests to contribute to our research in synthetic gene regulation, combinatorial genetics, and tissue biology (including liver biology and immuno-oncology). We esp. welcome individuals who add to our capabilities and perspectives in computation or specific biological domains in tissue biology. Where appropriate there would be exceptional opportunities to work collaboratively with the help of junior specialists in the lab, as well as with other UCSF labs with complementary expertise.

ALT Figure 1A: Myofiber growth and myonuclear positioning during late embryonic and early postnatal development. (A) Representative images of cross-sectioned gastrocnemius muscle from E17.5, P1, P3, P5, P7 and P20 mice, stained for syntrophin to label the sarcolemma (white) and for DAPI to label nuclei (cyan). Magnifications corresponding to the yellow squares are shown on the right of each image. Individual channels of the magnified views are shown in Fig. S2. Scale bars: 50 µm.
