I get a lot of questions on the #NIH #K99 #postdoc to faculty transition award. Decided to pen my thoughts and experiences towards receiving the K99/R00 - hoping it would be helpful for the community. Please find article link at - debosardarlab.org/blog

⭐Christmas highlight in Cell Research! @sjo09.bsky.social and I address the idea that learning-associated astrocytes become essential members of a memory engram ensemble, shifting the neuron-centric view of memory function. Big shoutout to @m-r-williamson.bsky.social! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Do you think you’ve conquered the enigma of the memory engram? News flash: You’re only scratching the surface. :) In our latest work (led by @Clement), we dissected the engram to uncover what information is processed during encoding and becomes the essence of the recalled memory.

For my first post here: excited to share our new work out in Nature! Learning-associated astrocyte ensembles regulate memory recall www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Congrats to the team! Here we directly image and quantify cerebral #angiogenesis and pruning in vivo. Found interesting regional differences and dependence on #notch signalling. Where you look does matter! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

xcited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire Sylvie Lesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
