I'm happy to share that the final version of our retinal electrical synapse proteome is out. We used proximity biotinylation techniques to capture proteins associated with Cx36 in mouse retina and Cx35.1 in zebrafish retina. elifesciences.org/articles/105...

Forget grants or papers; the happiest moment in the life of a lab is the successful defense of a PhD thesis. Congratulations Eyad Shihabeddin @eshihabeddin.bsky.social on the successful defense of your thesis after some years of work and some truly great science.
