Thrilled to announce that our paper is now finally out! 🎉We combine scRNAseq, 2p imaging, ephys, and behavior to understand the role of lateral septal Nts neurons in opioid withdrawal. Curious about the septum and addiction? Give it a read👇

I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected as an A.P. Giannini Postdoctoral Fellow! 🥳 Feeling fortunate to have received funding for my work on neurodevelopment of the lateral septum

Incredibly thankful to have had an opportunity to work on this project. I learned so much from @SodenLab and had a great time picking apart the VTA! Check out this thread to learn more about input specific regulation of VTA cell types 👇

Excited to share that my graduate dissertation work is now finally live on bioarxiv! Take a look if you're interested in learning more about the lateral septum's role in opioid withdrawal: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited to finally share this preprint from a collaboration with Marta Soden here at UW! We combined optogenetics with snRNAseq to reveal input- and cell-type-specific activation patterns in the VTA 👇
