Great opportunity to work with a fantastic scientist and mentor!.
I am looking for a technician to work in my lab in beautiful Sioux Falls. We have really exciting projects related to embryonic brain development and neurodegeneration. We use: mouse models, CRISPR, microscopy and omics analyses. Send me a DM or reply to the ad in 🧵. Please RT.

I am thrilled to share our new publication!! Using mice, organoids, live imaging and biochemistry, we show the RNA binding protein EIF4A3 directly binds and controls microtubules to promote axon growth. Thanks to super talented @alsina_fc and an outstanding team of collaborators!.
Happy to share our work about how neurons re-utilize gene expression regulators to directly control cytoskeletal dynamics. We found that the nucleating component of the Exon Junction Complex, EIF4A3, acts non-canonically as a microtubule-binding protein to regulate axonal growth.

Congrats Lola! Amazing opportunity to work with an excellent scientist!! Check it out.
I'm thrilled to announce that the Irala lab is now open at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital @StJudeResearch! We'll investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of astrocyte-neuron communication and how synaptic balance is achieved and maintained during brain development

Exciting news and opportunity to work with a fantastic scientist and mentor!! It was wonderful to have you in my lab these past years and I am so excited for all the future discoveries from the Alsina lab!.
I am thrilled to share that I have joined @StJudeResearch as a faculty member. The Alsina lab is now open and studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms of brain development in health and disease, with focus on RNA and cytoskeleton regulation.

We then use mouse genetics to demonstrate the functional consequences of impairing RNA stability in vivo. Our discoveries reveal essential roles for the CCR4-NOT complex in cortical development 3/.

We use Slam-seq to define a new landscape of RNA stability across cortical development. We discover new relationships between stability and gene expression and new cis elements governing RNA stability. 2/.

I am excited to share our most recent story led by our fantastic postdoc Lucas Serdar. How is steady state gene expression of the developing cerebral cortex controlled? The answer lies beyond transcription. 1/.

Thank you so much for sharing your exciting science and especially to @Shinkeikairoke1 for lots of fun science discussions, for being an incredible host in the beautiful cities of Kyoto and Tokyo, and many delicious meals! I am so grateful for an amazing visit!.
Today I had a wonderful opportunity to discuss with Prof Debra Silver (@TheSilverLab )! She gave us impressing talk regarding her current projects, development and evolution of brain! Moreover, She gave me a lot of suggestions about my project. Thank you for coming!
