So excited to finally share this story!!
Thrilled to share our work led by @panshelei on region-specific CSF circulation in the developing brain - out today in @NatureComms. This has implications for neuron-CSF interactions and cognitive outcomes in #hydrocephalus @WashUNeurosurg @WUSTLmed go.nature.com/3JlD4IM

These ten students are spending their summer diving into research that advances the understanding, treatment and prevention of neurological disorders. From day one, this program has been about investing in what’s next for our field and setting the stage for the next generation of neurosurgical innovation: ow.ly/cMWY50Zgkxv #MedEd #FutureNeurosurgeon #NREF

WashU Neurosurgery had a strong showing at #CNS2025. Medical students earned Best Poster awards in Spine and Data Science. Faculty led talks, panels, and debates driving progress in the field.
Proud to be at the forefront of neurosurgical research and education.
Had a great time at #CNS2025 presenting our work on intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus!! @strahleMD @Gracehalupnik

I'm excited to announce that Jennifer Lawrence's thesis work is now out! Check it out here:

✅it out! Immune cells (#microglia) shape angiogenesis in the developing brain 🧠 and with infection, can lead to #germinalmatrixhemorrhage. Proud of lead author @JiapeiChen @UCSFGradDiv who drove this story from the start and I got to watch her grow.

Jennifer Strahle, MD, (@strahleMD) & PGY6 Resident Benjamin Plog, MD, PhD presented at the @GlymphaticConf in Lund, Sweden this week.
Incoming @WUSTLmed student Shelei Pan (@PanShelei) took part in a poster presentation. The team posed with organizer Dr. Iben Lundgaard. #gls2024

One of my favorite pieces I’ve worked on during my time in the @strahleMD lab. A very fulfilling process of pulling information from the past several decades of iron research and discussing avenues for (much needed) future investigation!!

Excited to share a multi-year collaborative effort reviewing iron and blood breakdown product transporters in the neonatal brain. Many opportunities to further our understanding of iron handling after neonatal IVH! @panshelei @andrewthale3 @dhvanii_raval frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Including @kenzieL6 here too! Thank you for your contributions!

In healthy embryonic mice, apocrine secretion releases a host of proteins w/ developmental signaling roles 🚦into CSF, activating neural progenitor cells in the ventricular zone. So what happens during pregnancy if maternal exposures overstimulate this secretion? 4/

🚨Preprint alert - @ScienceYael leads work revealing that various maternal exposures, like illness 🤒 or psychedelics 🍄, cause excessive apocrine secretion from embryonic choroid plexus epithelial cells into CSF w/ life-long brain & behavioral impact! 1/

Excellent podium presentations on CSF-Brain interactions and post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus from Peter Yang and @Gracehalupnik at the @PedsSection annual meeting. @WashUNeurosurg @PeterHYangMD @EmreKiziltug @KahleKristopher
Congrats @avkondepudi!!
My all-star MD/PhD student Akhil presenting his work from @mlins_lab at @NeuroOnc meeting! He crushed it.
