@BiedererLab

We are a synapse biology lab. Our group investigates how synapses form and how synapse organization is disrupted in brain disorders.

Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year! We had fun celebrating our lab tradition of making Glühwein before the holidays. A great way of revisiting the past year in research and appreciating the good work everyone is doing.

Excited about our funding from ASAP! Our team investigates the synaptic and neuronal basis of cognitive impairments in Parkinson’s disease. Great to joint efforts with Mike Higley and Elena Gracheva at Yale, Laura Volpicelli-Daley at UAB, and Mike Henderson at Van Andel.

We're excited that Dayana Pérez-Acuña joins our group as a postdoc to study cortical aberrations in Parkinson's disease. Her curiosity about synapse biology makes for a perfect start. Celebrating her arrival from Seoul in New Haven style over pizza.

Congratulations to Dhrubajyoti Chowdhury on becoming a group leader! He's off to Hyderabad to return to his native India and lead his lab at the GITAM Institute. We wish you all the best! Dhruba's farewell dinner was a great time to celebrate his success.
Our dinner for Dhrubajyoti Chowdhury at the Barcelona Restaurant, Spanish tapas, a favorite of his after working in Spain

Excited we moved our lab into the new Neuroscience Institute! It's outstanding to be part of the dynamic community coming together. The beautiful new space, the comfortable interaction areas, and the rooftop garden add to the appeal. Kudos to everyone in the lab for organizing.

A big shoutout to Erica Israel and Nikita Patil from our Boston lab in the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging! Exciting contributions to the American Society for Nutrition meeting. Also great to see how much interest our session on Nutrition for the Aging Brain received.
Clockwise - Erica chairs her first session, a packed room for our session on Nutrition for the Aging Brain, relax at the Friedman School reception, great feedback at Nikita's and Erica's poster

Micronutrients and synapse biology are linked! Our results reveal that the human milk sugar myo-inositol promotes how nerve cells form connections, including human neurons. Our partners at Mead Johnson Nutrition/Reckitt provided the lead. See PNAS article doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2221413….
The image shows two human neurons treated with myo-inositol, and green and red puncta show synaptic markers.
