My really great friend @RBarZiv’s postdoc work from Dillin Lab is finally out! Details how glial cells can sense and signal mitochondrial stress to promote neuronal health and longevity in Science Advances. Great job team! science.org/doi/full/10.11…

So honored to win the John S. Spice Distinguished Research Scientist Award at the Larry L. Hillblom Scientific Meeting! Truly spectacular science happening thanks to this foundation and am so humbled to be part of this network of amazing scientists.

Tri-lab party with Dr. Derrick J. Morton and Peter Mullen labs! The best part about my job is the incredible people. Thanks for making every day so amazing!

There are so many things I love about my job USC and our fierce leader Carol Folt is no exception. Her beautiful words, the vibrant energy and spirit, and of course the stunning wardrobe are just a few reasons why I will always stand beside her!

The Sanabria Lab is officially R01 funded! So thankful to my amazing lab that made this possible! Sharing my experience so that other junior faculty NEVER GIVE UP! R01, R35, R01, R35, DP2, R35, all failed (plus 31 non-NIH grants), then R01-A1 got funded.

Hot off the press GeroScience: we USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology studied mitochondrial inhibitors from marine sponges for their anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. Major congrats to amazing postdoc Naibedya Dutta who led this study with the Johnson lab at DUC. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

So insanely proud of my undergraduate student Maria Oorloff USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology who won first place at the undergraduate research symposium for her presentation. So proud of all her insanely hard work and major accomplishments! Truly incredible!

Major congrats to my graduate student Adam Hruby for being awarded the NSF GRFP! This is so well deserved for an insanely hard-working and creative young scientist who is definitely going to change the world of biology! Couldn't be prouder. gero.usc.edu/2024/04/16/usc…

So blessed to be surrounded by the most amazing people. Words cannot describe how much I truly love my lab! Honestly the best part of my job is the people. Thank you all for filling my life with so much joy! Don’t know what I did to deserve y’all. 🥰

So proud of my undergraduate student Maria Oorloff who won the Discovery Scholar Award (and so many others!) USC! Beautiful article about her amazing transformation from a "shy and terrified" student to a multi-"award winning scientist" USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. gero.usc.edu/2024/05/09/men…
