After 16 wonderful years @WCMSurgery , I’m deeply honored to share that I will join @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla as Chair of Molecular & Medical Pharmacology in March 2027. Excited for this new chapter of science, innovation, and collaboration!

📣 We are hiring! 📣
Since our NIH R01 on functionally engineered pericytes for Alzheimer's disease got funded, I am now looking for new people to join the lab at different levels (e.g., research tech, grad student, postdoc).
A little bit of background: Pericytes keep the blood-brain barrier intact, and are lost early in Alzheimer's disease. We will engineer human iPSC-derived pericytes and test whether they can replace the lost cells and restore vascular and behavioral function.
Great to have experience in (some of those) iPSC differentiation, cell engineering, AD mouse models, BBB biology or single-cell omics. But I highly value independent, creative and self-motivated scientists who are also great team players!
We are located at the health science campus at USC in Los Angeles. If this sounds like you, email me at [email protected] with a short message and your CV.
This is a really cool project and I truly believe it has the potential to generate the next-generation of cell therapies for Alzheimer's 🙂 As a little motivator I am attaching a human iPSC-pericyte homing to mouse vessels!
❗ Please share with anyone who might be a good fit❗

Cool, its finally out. Base editing in human embryos! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Excited to share our new paper in @Nature.
We found that aberrant ERBB4 expression in excitatory neurons can drive a broad range of Alzheimer’s disease pathologies, including synapse loss, gliosis, amyloid pathology, and cognitive decline.
Check it out!

IBS is recruiting Early Career Directors—scientists, typically in their late 30s–early 40s, who are already creating a scientific direction of their own.
The scale is unusual: roughly US$1M/year at the early-career level, with start-up/equipment support.
