November 23, 2024: Exciting news: Lucia Gancedo López is joining the lab! A recent graduate from Ave Maria University with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and a minor in Biology, Lucia brings her enthusiasm and dedication to exploring neuron-glia interactions. Welcome aboard, Lucia!
September 17, 2024: Jiaxing’s work featuring a single OPC earned 3rd place in the 2024 Nikon’s Small World in Motion Competition!
August 17-21, 2024: Jiaxing gave an oral presentation at the 18th International Zebrafish Conference in Japan. Great chatting about science and meeting friends!
July 27, 2024: Led by a talented technician in the Monk lab, Emma J. Brennan, we provide in vivo evidence distinguishing Gephyrin’s synaptic role from its enzymatic role. The viable zebrafish gephyrin mutant we generated can be great resource to the field as the mouse mutant dies at birth. Very proud of Emma and fortunate to work with her and Kelly on this project! “A zebrafish gephyrinb mutant distinguishes synaptic and enzymatic functions of Gephyrin“
April 14-18, 2024: Jiaxing gave an oral presentation at the 54th Annual American Society for Neurochemistry Meeting (ASN 2024) in Portland, OR. It was a fun time discussing research and future plans in unusually nice weather.
