It was fun to contribute to the symposium “Synaptic Modulators, Circuit Interactions, and Behavioral Outcomes in Health and Disease” chaired by Jinye Dai (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) at the Winter Conference of Brain Research in Big Sky, Montana, USA. Huge thanks to all the speakers!
So grateful for a January highlighted by ACNP and Winter Brain. It was a privilege to learn from incredible colleagues, exchange ideas, and connect with so many amazing people. Thank you to @kundakoviclab.bsky.social and Jinye Dai for organizing amazing panels and inviting me to share our work!
I’m delighted to announce that I’ve been awarded a #MargueriteMarieDelacroix research grant to continue studying ASD-related biological mechanisms in a new mouse model. I’m deeply grateful for the renewed support and looking forward to starting this new project. Stay tuned for the results!
