Looking forward to their future discoveries! Double Congrats to our postdocs! 05/2022 - Vishnu Saraswathy wins the Best Poster Award at the Dev Bio Retreat & Dana Shaw wins the Best Talk Award at the Hope Center retreat. Grateful for their hard work and proud of their well-deserved successes! Congratulations! 04/2022 - Brooke Burris is off to graduate School! A bittersweet celebration of her last day in the Lab, but excited to watch her continued success and discoveries. New grant! 03/2022 - Celebrating a new NOA! We have been awarded a new 5 year grant from the NIH/NINDS to delve into the glial cell responses that promote spinal cord regeneration in zebrafish. Lab publication 11/2021 - Lab publication is out in JoVE, in which Brooke Burris and Nick Jensen describe our methods to assess swim endurance and swim behavior in adult zebrafish. Stay tuned for the video. PI award 10/2021 - Mayssa Mokalled received the 2021 Junior Faculty Award for Excellence from the Zebrafish Disease Modeling Society. Honored and proud of our Team! Fellowship award 09/2021 - Dana Shaw was awarded an NRSA fellowship to support her postdoctoral training. Congrats!

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 zebrafish and programming expertise to elucidate mechanisms of spinal cord regeneration at the single cell level. 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 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.
