LAB NEWS New lab members 06/2020 - Dylan Stahl and Hunter Yamada join us for (virtual) summer research with Vishnu and Dana as their 'bench' mentors. Extremely proud of everybody's dedication to research and discovery in these unprecedented times! Fellowship award 05/2020 - Dana Shaw was awarded a W.M. Keck Fellowship to support her postdoctoral training. Congrats! PI award 01/2020 - Mayssa Mokalled was selected as the 2020 recipient of the H.W. Mossman Early Stage Investigator Award in Developmental Biology from the American Association for Anatomy. Honored PI and happy lab! Double Congrats 01/2020 - Update - Dana Shaw attended the International Symposium for Neural Regeneration and received a Poster Award for her studies on glial bridging and spinal cord repair! Congratulations 01/2020 - Dana Shaw received a travel award to attend the International Symposium for Neural Regeneration. She is super excited to present her SCI work for the first time! New lab member 01/2020 - Vishnu Saraswathy, PhD joins the lab. Vishnu is bringing in his zebrafish and programming expertise to elucidate mechanisms of spinal cord regeneration at the single cell level. 'Tis the season! 12/2019 - Happy Holidays from all of us in the Mokalled Lab to all of you! First cell culture experiment 11/2019 - Our goal - Reprogramming zebrafish-like human glia to neural repair! Hunter at SFN 10/2019 - Undergraduate student Hunter Yamada is all ready to tackle SFN. Poster ready! New lab member 09/2019 - Dana Klatt Shaw, PhD joins the lab. Dana plans to perform a genetic screen for glial bridging factors in zebrafish. Bonus - Dana is ready to generate new lines and showed up with her own injection needles!! Happy PI! 09/2019 - We are officially NIH-NINDS funded! We have been awarded a 5 year grant to study mechanisms of glial bridging and neurogenesis during spinal cord regeneration in zebrafish. New lab member 09/2018 - Brooke Burris joins the lab as a Research Technician. Brooke wants to analyze some of our new mutant phenotypes. Summer research 07/2019 - Hunter Yamada, an undergraduate student from Brown University, joins the lab this summer as part of the ENDURE program. It is already August and we are saying bye to Hunter... Looking forward to another great summer next year. Grant award. 06/2019 - We have been awarded a 1 year grant from the McDonnell Center for Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology at WUSM to study adult neurogenesis in zebrafish. Grant award. 04/2019 - We have been awarded a JIT grant from the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences to elucidate bridging glial mechanisms. New lab member 09/2018 - Joel Brown, PhD joins the lab. Joel plans to elucidate neurogenesis mechanisms after spinal cord injury. New lab member 06/2018 - Lili Zhou, MD, PhD joins the lab. Lili plans to map glial cell fates after spinal cord injury. Grant award. 05/2018 - We have been awarded our first grant by the Missouri Spinal Cord Injury / Disease Research program. New lab member 01/2018 - Ryan McAdow joins the lab as a staff scientist. Ryan is our new zebrafish expert. Happy PI! 11/2017 - Our lab is fully furnished and our fish are growing fast. The Mokalled Lab is open. 08/2017 - Thanks for the warm welcome from Wash U's Dev Bio. |
