@pennbioeng PhD candidate | @TuftsUniversity 2018
Joined February 2020
In collaboration with @Harvard and #studyBRAIN Initiative partners, we recently unveiled the first complete cellular map of a mammalian brain. Learn more about MERFISH - one of the lab techniques behind the map: https://t.co/q3Lz6sk3P8

Did you know the Allen brain atlas (in red) is slightly tilted compared to the stereotactic atlas (in black) in the sagittal plane? (1/4)

🆕🧠📰🚨 So what makes a person more susceptible to a brain injury? Maybe they are postdocs (people with PhDs: Permanent Head Damage). 🙃 Check out this fresh paper, we probed how physical features of the brain and impact direction can holistically contribute to the risk.

Come see us at @Neurotrauma Poster Session A! @erinanderson371’s (P111) is on subconcussive preconditioning & neuroprotection, @rayfield_a’s (P115) is on in silico hippocampal injury, & Ana Georges’ (P305) is on genetic variability & blast injury susceptibility #Neurotrauma2022

A beautiful work led by Kryshawna Beard, done between my and @DFMeaneyLab's labs, looking at protein biomarkers (@QuanterixSimoa) for mild traumatic brain injury in (and not in) brain derived extracellular vesicles:

An update on fall semester plans regarding on-campus housing, tuition, and fees
penntoday.upenn.edu
With an abundance of caution, Penn’s fall semester will be conducted online, and students will not be living on campus, save for those seeking on-campus housing exceptions.

My *first* 1st author paper was published! We compared 2 strategies for concussion prediction: looking at strain in 1) regions that get hit hard (high strain) & 2) regions impt for information transfer in the brain (high change in global efficiency). (1/7)
