Dr. Ted Price was awarded nearly $800 thousand from the National Institute of Health (NIH) in conjunction with Thomas Jefferson University to study extracellular mechanisms regulating synaptic functions and pain plasticity. His research aims to determine the mechanism mediating the EphB-NDMAR interaction, characterize molecules and other tools to disrupt this interaction, and determine whether preventing …read more
In this talk show, Emily Lacy, Michael Karich, and Conor Wakeman discuss data management and share concerns, valuable tools, and best practices for working remotely.
This panel discussion provides practical tips and guidance on not only program development and writing, but what happens during the review process. The panelists include Drs. Kyle Fox, Yifei Lou, and Faruck Morcos, with Dr. Ravi Prakash participating as the moderator.
Congratulations to Dr. Bryan Black for his National Institute of Health (NIH) award for hiPSC-based DRG Tissue Mimics on Multi-well Microelectrode Arrays as a Tissue Chip Model of Acute and Chronic Nociception. The project seeks to develop an innovative 3D tissue-chip model of acute and chronic pain using human-derived sensory neurons, immunoreactive support cells, and …read more
