Associate Professor studying post-transcriptional mechanisms of brain development and function at Scripps Research. The postings on this site are my own.
I rarely post personal stuff here but this one is special. This chap came to say hi on the line up yesterday. I’m the one with the shorter board. Beautiful not-so-juvenile great white, close to 10ft
Scripps Research is awarded a landmark $2.3 million grant from the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative. Prof. Giordano Lippi and collaborators will advance a system to map the brain’s “translatome” – the full collection of mRNAs – to better understand disease scripps.edu/news-and-event…@LippiLab
Love microRNAs but feel like the field has been a bit stagnant? Then do we have the preprint for you! The mammalian brain is a prominent site for miRNA function, but cell type- or developmental stage-specific functions are largely understudied due to technical limitations. 🧵
Chuffed to join the @czi awesome scientific network with my good friend @euforna! Can't wait to meet everyone in July, a lot of RNA black belts including @lucksmith and @SchrattL . Worth waiting a week for the announcement, so that I can share the limelight with @_chrisgparker_
Congrats to @_chrisgparker_ and @LippiLab for their @ChanZuckerberg (CZI) awards in aging and #Alzheimers research. Parker's work in RNA metabolic networks and Lippi's research on non-coding RNA in neurodegeneration contribute significantly to the field.

Congratulations @ardemp! A visionary scientist, the best colleague, and a great friend. Looking like a million bucks in this picture. Quite literally after today...
What a fantastic Cortical Development meeting! Learned a lot, built connections and wow the views! @corticaldev2022 @NeuronCruz @SilviaM_Velasco@TheSilverLab
Delighted to see our microRNA-218 (miR-218) paper published in @eLife today. This project started in my mentor's (Darwin Berg, UCSD) lab led by postdoc extraordinaire Seth Taylor, now faculty at Brigham Young University. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Very proud PI today. Nori was awarded a Predoctoral Fellowship from Autism Speaks @autismspeaks. autismspeaks.org/press-release/…
Here is a picture of Nori dressed as a motor neuron for Halloween. 1/2
Hail the Whitehall Foundation Twins! No better way of celebrating 1 year lab-niversary that being awarded a grant. And the fact that @liye_yeti got one too makes it even sweeter! @scrippsresearch
Terrific Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience GRC conference! Icing on the cake is that @fedezampa won a best poster award. And got many PIs to sign their figures on the latest Liqun Luo’s textbook (the award) #NeuroGRC2022
