In our first pitch session, Ryan Shenvi, PhD, @lippilab.bsky.social, PhD, and Li Ye, PhD, will each share their approach to understanding the brain—from neuroactive compound synthesis, to microRNAs in circuit development, to brain energetics—and will take questions after each of their pitches.

How fitting that the Preview of our Neuron paper was written by the one and only Roy Sillitoe. 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.

Rooted in regulation: MicroRNAs as gardeners of the Purkinje cell dendritic arbor
Zolboot et al.1 developed tools to manipulate and map microRNA function in cerebellar
Purkinje cells with temporal precision, revealing key roles in dendritic development
and circuit connectivity. The...

The Lipp Lab (@lippilab.bsky.social) has uncovered how microRNAs guide the development of Purkinje cells—rare neurons tied to movement and autism.
Published in Neuron, a @cellpress.bsky.social journal, the study maps how precise timing and gene regulation shape these cells’ identity and structure.

Delighted to see our paper finally out in @cp-neuron.bsky.social! 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.bsky.social for details.
✨So happy to see part of my PhD work with @lippilab.bsky.social out today in @cp-neuron.bsky.social! ✨
We developed new tools to study microRNA-target networks with greater spatial and temporal resolution and found neuronal subtype- and developmental stage-specific roles:

Congratulations Dr. Du! The second student of the Lippi lab to successfully defend her PhD. Very proud PI. And of course, we celebrate in style.
