What a memorable day at the Connecticut Dystonia Zoo Day, hosted by the DMRF!
Our lab spent the morning with patients, families, advocates & physicians in support of the dystonia community.
Thank you to the @dmrf, the generous donors & everyone who came out!

Memory intact, but the molecular signature lingers. @YaleMBB's Andrew Miranker and team show that monkeys exposed to amyloid-beta oligomers carry Alzheimer's-like changes in their cerebrospinal fluid a year later.

We are recruiting two experimentalists with interests 1) in stem cells, organoids and/or immune cells, and/or 2) in protein and/or cell engineering, to work on mechanobiology projects and develop the next generation of force sensors and force transducers. forms.gle/zKLGsPzpJoLf6rqG9

Check out our latest paper: lnkd.in/eysHipYd. We built a chemical + genetic screening platform to find modulators of biomolecular condensates. Our screen points straight at genes that build the developing brain, hinting at shared condensate-driven disease mechanisms.

Very much looking forward to Julie Pfeiffer's (@jkpfeiff) visit for our upcoming Brett Lindenbach Lecture — save the date: [Oct 16]!
MB&B is excited to announce that Christian Schlieker (@Schliekerlab) will serve as MB&B’s next chair! A member of the department since 2009 and current Director of Undergraduate Studies, he will begin a three-year term on July 1, succeeding Ronald Breaker.
