Hi all, I am going on the job market, and I have made a website containing important information and documents. You can find that here: wamillsiii.com/
Please pass along to anyone who is hiring. Thank you!

Our new study, led by @JoonHyukLee3 , is out today in @Nature! We discovered a population of CD40+MHC-II+ astrocytes that present antigens to CD4+ T cells, enhancing pathogenic Th17 responses and promoting CNS autoimmunity.

Fifteen years after microglia were first implicated in synaptic pruning, this new study now implicates B cells originating from the skull bone marrow in synaptic pruning. So much for the "immune privileged" brain 😉 Cool findings from @soyonhonglab's group science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

🧠New NIH-funded research has uncovered an aspect of human brain aging that reshapes our approach to age-related cognitive decline and dementia risk.
This knowledge will be critical as we work toward developing earlier detection methods and more effective treatments.

Please email me at [email protected] if you know of any opportunities. I'd like to thank Dr. Ukpong Eyo, Dr. Brant Isakson, my committee members including Dr. John Lukens, Dr. Norbert Leitinger, Dr. Shayn Peirce-Cottler, Dr. Fran Quintana, and Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray.

"While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: reduced blood flow.
Building upon this foundational understanding, a team at Penn State recently found that a rare neuron that is extremely vulnerable to anxiety-induced stress appears to be responsible for regulating blood flow and coordinating neural activity in mice."

I am very happy to report that our manuscript describing the requirement of Rab7a to degrade select BBB junctional proteins during acute BBB breakdown after stroke is accepted at Acta Neuropathologica Communications! The final paper will be available soon

My first journal cover :)

@NatureNeuro @LehtinenLab
ALT Cover of the July 2025 issue of Nature Neuroscience (Vol. 28 No. 7), featuring a high-resolution confocal microscopy image of the embryonic mouse fourth ventricle choroid plexus, highlighted in cyan and magenta on a black background. The title reads: “Choroid plexus secretion reshapes brain development.”
ALT Screenshot of a webpage from nature.com describing the cover story of the July 2025 issue of Nature Neuroscience. The text explains that the cover image shows the choroid plexus of an E16.5 mouse stained for AQP1, revealing how apocrine secretion influences CSF composition and brain development. Technical details include the use of a Zeiss LSM 710 microscope with AI-based denoising and image processing. The image is credited to Ya’el Courtney, Boston Children’s Hospital, and the cover design to Marina Spence.

I love this article in Science. I keep telling this to my students but they keep comparing themselves to their peers. Getting a PhD is an individual endurance journey that can lead to personal and scientific growth and resilience.

Hi friends- if you're interested in what I've been doing for the last 6+ years, I'm defending my dissertation on July 11th at 11am! Come tune in on zoom (message me for the link!) to hear about why we think matrix structures called #perineuronalnets are important in seizing mice.

Thrilled to be here!
Delighted to announce that Amy Gleichman, Ph.D., (@amy_gleichman) has joined @NeurosurgeryOSU and the @OSUGeneTherapy. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania and post doctoral training at @UCLA. She brings incredible expertise that will further expand our gene therapy program for stroke and vascular dementia treatment.
