Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 20/08/2026We have parallel efforts focused on forebrain development and cortical circuits. Happy to share more. 001
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 20/08/2026We’re recruiting a postdoc to follow up on an astonishing number of mutants with craniofacial phenotypes from our ENU mutagenesis screen. Great opportunity for someone interested in developmental genetics, craniofacial biology, mouse genetics & gene discovery. Please share! 146
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Congratulations to Rebekah Rushforth on a masterful defense of her dissertation last week! Lucky for us she will stay on as a postdoctoral fellow for a bit after graduation in December. 000
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Always a pleasure to participate for a couple of days in the legendary Cold Spring Harbor "Mouse Course." Thanks to Matt A, Katie F, Danelle D and Loydie J-M for the invite. Hope to do it again. Best of luck to the great young scholars i met this week. 000
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Key finding: despite acting in the same pathway, loss of Piga causes major defects in cortical organization, myelination, and cerebellar development, while Pgap2 deletion has surprisingly mild effects. Great work by first author Jennifer Watts and co-author Jesus Leal! #Genetics #RareDisease 120
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Excited to share our latest paper in @iscience.bsky.social! We used conditional mouse genetics to dissect the roles of two GPI-anchor biosynthesis genes, Piga and Pgap2, during brain development. 110
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 28/05/2026For anyone revising/resubmitting right now: if you believe in the idea, keep going. Resilience matters. Now it’s time to put another poker in the fire and start the next project. 000
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Total time from first submission to award: 1,033 days (~3 years). Huge thanks to NIH Program Staff, collaborators, trainees, and lab members who helped improve the science every step of the way. 100
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Very excited and grateful to receive a new NIH Notice of Award for a 5-year project. 🎉 This one was a reminder that science rewards persistence. Submission journey: • A0 (7/2023): 27% • A1 (3/2024): Not Discussed 😬 • New A0 (10/2024): 22% • A1 (7/2025): 2% • NOA (5/2026) 100

Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Really nice to be back in Cincinnati yesterday for the CCRF Research Seminar Series. Great conversations, great science, and fun to reconnect with colleagues. Thanks to Kenny Campbell for the invite! 000
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Big thanks to Andrea Miller, Ivan Martinez Duncker, and the CDG CARE team for an outstanding Scientific & Family Weekend in Orlando. Hearing directly from PIGA families and clinicians was humbling and motivating. Strong energy around advancing gene replacement therapy for PIGA and other CDGs. Onward 020
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Heading to my first CDG (Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation) Scientific & Family Conference this week in Orlando (CDG-CARE). Looking forward to reconnecting with colleagues and sharing our latest work on Piga gene replacement therapy—led by Jennifer Watts, Ph.D. 000

Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 21/07/2025This is awful. 2 per cycle for an established research program is not a tall order if you are a 100% research PI and the whole lab is supposed to be NIH covered. given score compression it can take multiple rounds to advance from a score to single digits. 000
Stottmann Lab @stottmannlab.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Great to see a crowd at Columbus Stand Up for Science! Stay the course and CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES! 022
