We have parallel efforts focused on forebrain development and cortical circuits. Happy to share more.

We’re recruiting a postdoc to follow up on an astonishing number of mutants with craniofacial phenotypes from our ENU mutagenesis screen. Great opportunity for someone interested in developmental genetics, craniofacial biology, mouse genetics & gene discovery. Please share!

Always a pleasure to participate for a couple of days in the legendary Cold Spring Harbor "Mouse Course." Thanks to Matt A, Katie F, Danelle D and Loydie J-M for the invite. Hope to do it again. Best of luck to the great young scholars i met this week.

A striking difference for two genes in the same GPI-anchor biosynthesis pathway. Congrats Jennifer Watts and Jesus Leal! #Neuroscience #Genetics

New paper in @iScience_CP! We show that Piga is essential for forebrain, oligodendrocyte, and cerebellar development, while Pgap2 is surprisingly dispensable in these contexts.

Excited and grateful for a new NIH NOA for a 5-year project. 🎉 A reminder that persistence is key A0 (7/2023): 27% A1 (3/2024): ND 😬 A0 (10/2024): 22% A1 (7/2025): 2% NOA (5/2026) 1,033 days from first submission to funding. If you believe in the idea, keep going.

Grateful to Andrea Miller, Ivan Martinez Duncker and the CDG CARE team for a fantastic 2026 Scientific & Family Weekend in Orlando. Inspiring to connect with clinicians and PIGA families -- real momentum behind gene replacement therapy for PIGA and other CDGs.

Heading to my first CDG (Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation) Scientific & Family Conference this week in Orlando (CDG-CARE). Looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues and sharing our latest work on Piga gene replacement therapy—led by @jennwatts11 .

As part of a larger effort to sequence patients with micrognathia and cleft palate, Andrew M. Vontell et al. identified candidate pathogenic variants in dmx-like 1 (DMXL1). Read the open access article in Differentiation to learn more: doi.org/10.1016/j.diff.2025.… @Paul_Iyyanar

Happy to share my first paper from the @StottmannLab, on Cse1l neural crest function just got accepted for publication in @Dev_Bio_Journal sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Rebekah Niewoehner, @StottmannLab & co showed that mutations in Ttc21b contribute to human primary #microcephaly, and that the severe microcephaly in homozygous #mouse mutants arises from impaired neural progenitor proliferation and differentiation. Read doi.org/10.1242/dmm.052392

Replying to @JasonSynaptic
this is a ridiculous threshold. 100% effort research PI can write 6 good grants in a year without AI - especially if moving grants from scored to fundable over multiple rounds of review. there is a lot of room betwee 40 grants in one cycle and 6 in a whole year.

yeah, this is just not what it used to be. will leave the account up for now but going looking for some blue skies (from now on???)
