Lab publication! 02/2021 - First lab publication is out at Dev cell. A real team effort between our team and collaborators at Wash U's Developmental Biology and Wash U's Center of Regenerative Medicine. Thanks all! Accepted! 01/2021 - First publication from the Mokalled lab is formally accepted at Dev cell. Time for a virtual celebration. New lab member 08/2020 - Excited to welcome Dan Gibson to the Team. Dan will be leading our efforts to reprogram regenerative human glia to promote neural repair! New lab members 06/2020 - Dylan Stahl and Hunter Yamada join us for (virtual) summer research. 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 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. More Lab News |
