Abby Kindberg is a postdoc in the Bush lab @jeffbush.bsky.social, joint with the Klein lab, who is working to generate new models of RASopathies, a family of craniofacial syndromes that results from deregulated Ras signaling. #ucsfNPAW #UCSFpostdocs

Gail was a luminary at ucsf and I was lucky to overlap with her briefly. She was one of the most supportive and encouraging faculty mentors I had.

@xsciteng.bsky.social et al. of the @jeffbush.bsky.social lab @ctbatucsf.bsky.social reveal cellular mechanisms of tissue fusion in the developing face. They demonstrate that actomyosin-generated forces drive tissue fusion, necessitating an elevated cadherin threshold. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Super interesting study identifying gene responsible for heart defects in Down syndrome www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Myocardial reprogramming by HMGN1 underlies heart defects in trisomy 21 - Nature
Studies using human pluripotent stem cells and a mouse model of Down syndrome identify HMGN1 as a key contributor to congenital heart defects in individuals with Down syndrome.

Karin Shamardani, DDS/PhD candidate, is working with Jeff Bush @jeffbush.bsky.social to study how Efnb1 and the understudied actin-regulator gene Shrm4 interact to control palatal outgrowth and mesenchymal organization during craniofacial development.

I'm thrilled to announce that my lab is opening this August in the Department of Cell & Tissue Biology @ UCSF! We will study airway stem cells and explore how they generate multiciliated cells (my favorite!) to keep pathogens and debris out of the lung. Check out choksilab.org for more!

CTB welcomes new Assistant Professor Semil Choksi @semilc.bsky.social to the department! The Choksi Lab will study how airway stem cells generate multiciliated cells - and how this process goes wrong in respiratory disease. His lab is opening this August. Visit choksilab.org to learn more!

To my friends and colleagues at UAB, IU, UF, FSU, UL, WashU, OSU, CWRU, etc, etc. Call both your senators and your representative. They listen. Emphasize the direct economic impact of NIH research, and the indirect impacts on pharmaceutical/biotech. Underscore its relevance to national security.
