Kampmann Lab postdoc Dr. Avi Samelson received an NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award for his research on mechanisms driving pathological states of tau in Alzheimers and related dementias, which will provide funding for the remainder of his postdoctoral fellowship, and for the first years of…
Kampmann Lab postdoc Dr. Steven Boggess received the Alzheimer's Association Research Fellowship for his research on mechanisms driving hyperexcitability in Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias.
Congratulations, Steven!
Kampmann Lab student Olivia Teter was selected as a finalist for the 2023 UCSF GradSlam and won the 3rd prize for her 3-minute presentation of her research on the mechanisms of synaptic pruning by microglia.
Watch a video of her presentation here.
Congratulations, Olivia!
Kampmann Lab Postdoctoral Fellow and Neuropathology fellow Dr. Biswarathan (Biswa) Ramani received the UCSF Department of Pathology grant for Experimental Neuropathology for his research on mechanisms controlling aggregation and toxicity of polyglutamine proteins in neurodegenerative…
Astrocytes are a support cell type in the brain. In disease and injury, astrocytes become reactive. In our new publication, we establish a CRISPR-based genetic screening platform in human iPSC-derived astrocytes and use it to uncover regulators of reactive states. Using single cell RNA-sequencing,…
