Thank you Philomathia foundation for supporting this work with my colleague and collaborator Kranthi Mandadapu!

New preprint from the group on the evolution of retinal cell types. Check the summary by Dario @dariotommasini.bsky.social !

Vision Science makes the front page of NYT!! featuring work from @neurofishh.bsky.social and @denilsson.bsky.social with comments from Berkeley's own @karthikshekhar.bsky.social #visionscience www.nytimes.com/2026/02/23/s...

Honored to receive the Faculty Award for excellence in Postdoctoral mentoring from UC Berkeley, and share it with my friend and colleague Kranthi Mandadapu

A new study, led by Kushal (Berkeley), Nicole&Victoria (UCSF) in full collaboration with @karthikshekhar.bsky.social, "Molecular and spatial analysis of ganglion cells on retinal flatmounts identifies perivascular neurons resilient to glaucoma" sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #retina #MERFISH

My first Bluesky post is to announce a Tenure-Track Faculty Search at the Jules Stein Eye Institute of UCLA. We are considering applications at the Assistant and Associate professor levels. Apply here: recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10092. DM or email me with any questions. Please distribute!

This was a fun project led by the hugely talented postdoc Rachana Somaiya and graduate student Matthew Po together in collaboration with @mfeller.bsky.social !

New preprint! A wonderful collaboration of our @FellerMarla lab with Matthew Po, and @shekharlab. Here, we dive into the impact of spontaneous activity on the transcriptome of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), the sole output neurons of the retina. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

As my first post here, I am really excited to share a new manuscript with @ralitsamadsen.bsky.social on this platform. We looked how non-equilibrium thermodynamics helps ligand discrimination in signaling networks: t.co/ZA6NteUmaS

Beautiful work. Congrats @michelcayouette.bsky.social and team!
