Ok, friends! If you’re a Daniocell user, it’s now available again outside of the NIH. Very sorry for any inconvenience this posed for any of you and thanks for your patience. We’re taking additional steps to hopefully prevent similar outages in the future. Happy surfing 🎣

If you love Daniocell, but wish it could generate analyses specific to YOUR genes & cell types of interest, check out DaniocellDesktop - a new point-and-click app for Mac and Windows that enables reanalysis of the Daniocell data without programming: daniocell.nichd.nih.gov/desktop/ (1/4)

Honored that I was able to attend a seminar by Dr. Carolyn Bertozzi yesterday! I was absolutely inspired by both her science and career journey. 🧪 🥼

Grateful to have received a NICHD Career Development Award to create new optogenetic tools to manipulate signaling in zebrafish. Thanks to UDS (@katwrog.bsky.social) for supporting this project!!

Having a great time!!

Excited to be part of this story characterizing optogenetic tools!!

An advanced toolset to manipulate and monitor subcellular phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate. New study from Joshua Pemberton, John Burke, Tamas Balla (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) and colleagues: rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Applications are now open for the 2025 Leading Edge cohort! (Deadline Feb 3).

You do NOT need to be ready for the job market to apply.

Several from the #zebrafish community have joined Leading Edge Fellows 👩‍🔬 Highly recommend submitting an application, if you’re keen!

Optogenetic control of a GEF of RhoA uncovers a signaling switch from retraction to protrusion The ability of a single protein to trigger different functions is an assumed key feature of cell signaling, yet there are very few examples demonstrating it. Here, using an optogenetic tool to control...
