TITLE: "Biologist, Know Thy Cells - A Colorful Barcoding Method to ID Cell Types, their Fate, and Decode Brainwide Communication" ABSTRACT: A major challenge in biological imaging is resolving cell identities. These are necessary for determining cell-specific protein expression and function, the effect of transcription factors on cell fate, and the contribution of individual neurons to […]

TITLE: "Symmetry breaking during morphogenesis of a mechanosensory organ" ABSTRACT: The development of mechanosensory epithelia, such as those of the auditory and vestibular systems, results in the precise orientation of mechanosensory hair cells and consequently directional sensitivity. After division of a precursor cell in the zebrafish lateral line, the daughter hair cells differentiate with opposite mechanical […]

TITLE: "Merging Experimental and Computational Approaches to Study Neurodegenerative Disease Dynamics" ABSTRACT: Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's affect millions of people around the world and are a growing health concern in aging populations. A major roadblock in developing effective treatments involve the diverse etiology and progression rates, combined with a lack of clear […]
