Our team did an exceptional job at the #ARVO2024 @ARVOinfo @AvinashSoundar1 Avinash, @WTingWT Ting, #RodaPasteurin, & @AnushaShivasha1 Anusha presented their work and good good feedback. Truly happy to be mentoring such a fabulous group.

Ting you were extraordinary in the lab. @SabanLab Danny, your talk was amazing. Ting imbibed a lot of work ethics from the training in your lab. She went on to do well in my lab. Good luck to you, Ting.
Last ARVO during my PhD, and last time to present my SREBP story! Grateful for the incredible mentors I met in the US who guided me before and during my PhD @SabanLab @LabPadhu! ♥️Many congratulations to Dr.Saban for getting the prestigious Cogan Award, well deserved!🎉👍

Big day for the lab. Grad student Ting Wang @WTingWT will be defending her thesis. Highly productive and smart PhD will be minted this day. Can't wait for her to impress the committee and the audience. Huge shout out to @LabBhattacharya @tritocool @Underhill_UIUC & Jing Liu.

Great news for the lab. Received our 2nd R01 to study the control of de novo lipogenesis on ocular pressure regulation. Thanks to my grad student Ting @WTingWT for the heavy lifting & postdoc Avinash @AvinashSoundar1 for pushing the science in the lab. Thanks @NatEyeInstitute

A new preprint from our lab identifies clusterin, a secretory chaperone protein, help maintain actin mediated contractility and cell adhesive interactions by balancing the levels of g-proteins, tensins, SMAD3, and STATs in the trabecular meshwork.
Proteomic analysis uncovers clusterin-mediated disruption of actin-based contractile machinery in the trabecular meshwork to lower ... https://t.co/eQyZX2JwTg

Hyperlipidemia = risk factor for ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Statins = shown to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma progression. Yet the direct role of cholesterol on the cells of the trabecular meshwork (tissue that aids in maintaining IOP) is unknown.

Feel so lucky to join this great lab! ♥️ very supportive PI and nice lab members!
Four years up after I started my lab at Indiana University SOM @IUOphthalmology. It has been a very enriching experience. Greatly indebted to my postdoc @AvinashSoundar1 and graduate student @WTingWT and many others who came to the lab during these four years.
