In a recent @NatureNeuro article, a team led by @YifeiCai_ & @YaleMed's @JGrutzendler used protein tagging, mass spectrometry, & expansion microscopy🔬to explore how the protein composition🧬at the myelin-axon interface differs in #Alzheimers.

It's on Monday, see you there!.

Currently, Soraya is working toward launching her own lab 🥼and remains committed to developing spatially patterned brain organoids 🧫🔬 to contribute to both basic discovery & translational insights!.We can't wait to see what she does next!🙌 [5/5]

Soraya credits @Yale’s interdisciplinary and collaborative 🤝 environment, along with the support of her mentors & peers in the Vaccarino, Levchenko & Abyzov labs, as essential to inspiring and advancing her research.💡🔬 Her project was partially supported by @KavliAtYale [4/5].

Soraya found working on DuoMAPS incredibly rewarding and dedicated years to its development. Her hard work paid off, & this year, Soraya was given the honor of presenting her findings at the International Cortical Development from Stem Cells to Circuits conference in Italy [3/5]

Soraya’s earlier research focused on forebrain-patterned organoids 🧫 & resulted in one of the first comparative ⚖️ epigenomic-transcriptomic analyses against human fetal brain tissue 🧠👶.This work shaped Soraya's scientific vision, leading her to help develop DuoMAPS [2/5].

Meet this week's✨#TraineeTuesday: Soraya Scuderi, PhD!👩‍🔬✨.Soraya is an Associate Research Scientist in the Vaccarino Lab & recently published @CellStemCell introducing DuoMAPS —a revolutionary brain-on-a-chip platform🧠💻that better models neural tube regionalization. [1/5]

In a new @NatureMicrobiol study, @YaleMed researchers showed that contrary to popular belief, typhoid toxin (leading to typhoid fever) damages the blood-brain barrier endothelial cells —not neurons— paving the way for new therapies.

In a new @Nature study, @YaleMed scientists led by @tomomimyoshida, Andrew Wang, & @DavidHaflerMD found evidence of T cells in the brains of healthy mice and humans —not only as a response to infection— uncovering a new form of gut-brain communication.

In a new @PLOSONE study, a @YaleMed team led by Laura Manuelidis, MD, developed the first cellular model of a latent Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease infection —similar to mad cow disease— revealing how specific conditions can switch the infection on and off.

In a new @eLife study, @YaleMed’s Anthony Koleske, Amanda Jeng, and Yevheniia Ishchenko revealed how 3 variants of the gene TRIO 🧬 drive distinct neurodevelopmental disorders🧠by altering communication between neurons.

Join us THIS FRIDAY 🗓️, June 6, for @Yale's ✨NextGen in #STEM Conference✨ to learn from scientists who took different career trajectories, and connect with faculty and industry professionals. Organized by grad student and Kavli scholar @aprilnpruitt and faculty Ellen Hoffman.

In a new study, @Yale's Hirsch lab used neuroimaging & real-time eye contact 👁️ to study the social brain 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧠 and found that people with First Episode Psychosis showed comparatively less brain activity in a key area related to social cognition.

Mark your calendars 🗓️ for June 23 for a @KavliAtYale Awards Research in Progress!🧠. Hear from awardees @dbhaskar92, @LaShae_NeuroXp, @JJaimeMarti, @kevinschen13, @aaron_t_kuan, @JoergBewersdorf, @EnockTeefeMD_, & @hongyan_hao as they share exciting updates on their projects.

In a new study, a @NeurologyYale team led by Aya Khalaf & @HBlumenfeld analyzed fMRI data and found that multiple senses 👁️✋👂👅 activate the same two deep brain hubs that control consciousness 🧠—the midbrain reticular formation and central thalamus.
