Calcium plays an essential role in early-stage dendrite injury detecti... sciencedirect.com/science/articl… New paper from Katie Thompson-Peer in my department (Developmental and Cell Biology) UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences . Congrats Vini, Vicky, Dario and Katie!

Check out our surprising finding in nuclear invagination's function: regulating ribosome biogenesis. Nuclear tunnels = more ribosomes! I am proud of my talented student Yinyin Zhuang, and inspiring collaborators Wenting ZHAO, Chris Miles, and Olga Razorenova!

My lab threw me a surprise belated birthday celebration today! They're all the bestest.

from the university of california, irvine ... ROSTY BRICHKO !! #cshldros24

I'm excited to share that our work was published at JCellBiol! We show that early embryonic mitoses achieve their fast pace and accuracy due to the interplay of two cyclin B isoforms. rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Cannot wait for Vini's PhD thesis defense tomorrow!

Huge congratulations to Dr. Vini Duarte who successfully defended his PhD dissertation today and to his advisor Dr. Katie Thompson-Peer (Katie Thompson-Peer) who successfully graduated her first PhD student! 🥳🎉👏 UCI CNLM UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences UC Irvine

Now introducing Dr Duarte! I could not be more proud.

The Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine UCI School of Medicine invites applications for a tenure track/tenured Assistant or Associate Professor, broadly on neuronal circuit function at the cellular to systems level. Please apply here: recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09237

Delighted to be here. #cshlneurocon

“Twisting dendrites” by Dale Chihuly. Of course I had to go see it. Made my neurobiology nerd + art nerd heart happy. #cshlneurocon at Cold Spring Harbor Labs
