I’m very honoured to have been selected for a 2025 CAN-CIHR INMHA Brain Star Award among such an impressive group of researchers! There is truly remarkable neuroscience research happening across Canada 🇨🇦 and I’m grateful to my mentors, collaborators, and colleagues for being part of this journey!

Now online! Molecular features of human pathological tau distinguish tauopathy-associated dementias

Now online! CRISPR screens in iPSC-derived neurons reveal principles of tau proteostasis

Now online! Cell-type resolved protein atlas of brain lysosomes identifies SLC45A1-associated disease as a lysosomal disorder

New preprint on technologies to scale up CRISPR screens. We use them to map 665,856 pairwise genetic perturbations and outline a path to comprehensive interaction mapping in human cells. We also introduce an approach for cloning lentiviral libraries with billions of elements.

📣Excited to announce a new pre-print from the lab 📣 Led by my student @storiesofisobel.bsky.social in collab with Hemali Phatnani @nygenome.org We discovered a novel class of TDP-43 dependent cryptic gene-TE spliced transcripts: crypTEs #TEsky #RNAsky #ALS doi.org/10.64898/2026.01.09.698641

We’re happy to share that our labs first #ALS and #FTD study “A stress-dependent TDP-43 SUMOylation program preserves neuronal function” is now online at Molecular Neurodegeneration! doi.org/10.1186/s130...
