Excited to give a lecture to graduate students on touch and pain today! I took a pain course taught by David Julius and Allan Basbaum, which inspired me to study somatosensation development. Happy to pay it forward!🤗

The talent pool of international PhD applicants in bio is incredible🤯, but admissions are capped by funding. Private donors can make a huge impact in strengthening biomedical research by supporting international PhD students with fellowships.

Thank you!! I look forward to seeing your discoveries, too. I love your lab slogan, "no guts, no glory". I've been thinking about using "no pain, no gain" for my lab😂

Degraded sensory coding in a mouse model of Scn2a-related disorder and its rescue by CRISPRa gene activation Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in SCN2A , a sodium channel gene expressed in cortical pyramidal (PYR) cells, lead to a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by autism, intellectual disabi...

New preprint on sensory cortex dysfunction in Scn2a+/- mouse. Profoundly degraded sensory tuning and maps in S1--most dramatic of any ASD model. And rescued in post-critical period adults with CRISPRa.

Theoretically speaking, do you get infinite number of clusters if you sequence infinite number of cells? 🤔 Any thoughts would be welcomed

Really happy to share my career path at the Peking University biology alumni reunion. I attended the first reunion in 2009 at Hopkins and it was life changing to hear all the career stories. Happy to give back to the community!😊

Is any neuro PI willing to talk to me for 20 min and chat about NIH institutes and study sections for neuro research? Please DM me. Thank you!!

Who came up with the number 15% anyway?? It makes no sense and there is no justification on this number from NIH.

Differential encoding of mammalian proprioception by voltage-gated sodium channels Voltage-gated sodium channels differentially encode mammalian proprioception via distinct cellular localization patterns.

Thrilled to share the most recent pub from the Griffith Lab! We show that sodium channels play unique roles in proprioceptive encoding. We also found some really cool effects on skeletal muscle, and a dev dependent role for Nav1.6 in proprioceptive spinal circuits www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
