Hey y’all 👋 I need a little repost magic. 🔥
The Solecki lab is recruiting MULTIPLE postdocs for a chromatin imaging project at St. Jude.
This work sits at the intersection of live-cell imaging, neuronal cell biology, chromatin regulation, and quantitative image analysis — and the eye-popping video below shows exactly why it’s so exciting.
This may be for you if you are:
• A neurobiologist who wants to become DANGEROUS in cell biology 🧠
• A chromatin biologist who wants to ditch endpoint molecular biology and actually watch nuclear states unfold in living cells 🧬
• An imaging scientist or biophysicist who wants to get messy in real cells, not idealized samples 🔬
A quantitative mindset is required. Prior experience in every area is not.
If you ever imagined touring the nucleus like nuclear render and our Pol II biosensor below… reach out because WE can do it.
Tag a scientist who needs to see this + RT to help us find them! 🚀 Let’s make chromatin biology history.

Joseph Buxbaum was initially unconvinced. When early hints of a connection between autism and Alzheimer’s began to appear in the medical literature a few years ago, they struck him as implausible.

Key biomarkers for ADNP syndrome.
Biomarkers are essential for clinical trials because they provide measurable, objective data on biological processes, enabling researchers to establish baselines to select appropriate patients and track drug efficacy.

🆕 window into Down syndrome therapeutics ⚠️ RNA editing is a natural process that fine-tunes how proteins function in neurons.
💥Findings: RNA editing occurs earlier & more extensively in trisomy 21. Shift may influence brain circuit formation from start.

Thrilled to see our PNAS paper featured in @GiacomoI commentary. A fantastic recognition of how biologically grounded cortical microcircuits can accelerate the next generation of NeuroAI—and a meaningful step connecting it to neuroscience pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25…

When chemistry meets neurons! Just dropped in @PNASNews Our game-changing paper on multifunctional fluorescent ligands for intracellular labeling. Luke Lavis and Pratik Kumar @prat_i_k built the epic tools; we got to unleash them! @JasonVevea & team nailed biotin-HaloTag for mitochondrial magic. My lab rocked the JQ1 version to shuffle chromatin in LIVE cells. First collab win for our Neuronal Cell Biology Division with Janelia—more to come! #Science #Neuroscience #ChemBio #scicomm #Fluorescence #HaloTag

A hidden #NIH freeze
A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter.
