In our last Front Row lecture, Associate Professor Giordano Lippi (@LippiLab) explored how tiny molecules called microRNAs help control production of the right proteins at the right place and time to build complex networks that drive thought, learning and behavior.

The Lippi lab is hiring a postdoctoral associate! We built new technologies to study post-transcriptional regulation in the healthy and diseased brain. We are recruiting motivated and talented scientists who will use these tools to discover new biology and new therapies.

How fitting that the Preview of our Neuron paper was written by the one and only Roy Sillitoe @SillitoeLab. I saw him giving a talk at the 2018 Neural Development GRC, and his incredible data, storytelling, and enthusiasm convinced me to use Purkinje Cells as a model system.

Delighted to see our paper finally out in @NeuroCellPress! Together with Ian MacRae, we developed a new toolbox to study microRNAs and used it to find new mechanisms of Purkinje cell development. Please see the tweetorial from researcher extraordinaire @norjin_z for details.
✨So happy to see part of my PhD work with @lippilab out today in @NeuroCellPress! ✨ We developed new tools to study microRNA-target networks with greater spatial and temporal resolution and found neuronal subtype- and developmental stage-specific roles: cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

My favorite part is finding cell type-specific post-transcriptional mechanisms that drive morphological diversification among neurons. For example, strong repression in Purkinje cells of genes expressed also in pyramidal neurons is necessary for exuberant arborization! 🤯
