Olga and Karla got exciting results in the pilot experiment using the multi-electrode array. They found synchronous burst network activity in our iPSC-derived neuronal cultures. (Courtesy to Axion Biosystems)
Yunyao presented a poster entitled “A CRISPR/Cas9-generated isogenic iPSC model reveals a neuronal subtype-specific mechanism of SCN1A epilepsy” at the Annual Meeting of Society for Neuroscience, San Diego, CA.
October, 2018
Alexa was elected as a graduate representative in our department. Congrats!
