New in @ScienceDirect: Dr. Sivak's latest collaborative study reveals how prostaglandin pathways shift during RGC degeneration. Key findings: 🧬 Human vs. mouse RGC receptor differences ⚠️ Topical NSAIDs exacerbated RGC loss in mice bit.ly/3vL9pXR #glaucoma

We are thrilled to announce our latest publication in JCI Insight! Our research reveals an unexpected mechanism behind how prostaglandin analogues work in #glaucoma patients: the induced production of lipoxins. Congrats to the whole team! Read more: lnkd.in/ekxe46Fm

📢 Calling all graduate students @utoronto.ca who are doing vision research. 🔬 The Vision Science Research Program (OSOTF Award) offers funding for graduate students who are asking novel questions in #visionscience. For more information and to apply >> bit.ly/41iXMkx @uhn.ca @uhnresearch.ca

Congratulations Nate on your well-deserved #TraineeTuesday feature @DKJEI_UHN Your hard work and dedication are truly shining through. Keep doing such great work and making a real impact!

Bittersweet farewell to our lab legend, Alessandra! 🧪 From PhD to Postdoc, you’ve been the heart of our team. Your brilliant leadership and kindness made our science shine brighter. 🌟 We’ll miss you so much! Wishing you success and good luck in your next chapter! @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social

Excited to share my new pub in @ Frontiers "In Vitro Retinal Ganglion Cell Differentiation & Enrichment: Do Subtypes Matter?" We review human RGC subtypes, markers, #glaucoma vulnerabilities & the need for subtype-specific #stemcell protocols for better therapies Link ⬇️ #science #organoids

Science has the power to transform lives & redefine what’s possible. This International Day of Women & Girls in Science, we asked our female researchers @kbi-uhn.bsky.social, @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social & @schroeder-uhn.bsky.social what inspires their commitment to scientific discovery > bit.ly/4tAmfPa

Thrilled to see this well-deserved recognition for Dr. Sivak! The passion and groundbreaking innovation fueling this work are truly inspiring every day. This grant will help advancing glaucoma research @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social and lead to new discoveries. Stay tuned!

Excited to see our PI Dr. Jeremy Sivak featured by @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social during #GlaucomaAwarenessMonth! Dive into his insights on glaucoma research and future breakthroughs. Proud to be advancing vision science at @sivaklab.bsky.social 👁️🔬🧫

We had an amazing time at our research lab's annual holiday party lunch! Wishing our entire institute and everyone out there a joyful holiday season filled with rest, inspiration, and breakthroughs in the new year. Happy holidays from all of us at the Sivak lab 🎄⛄❄️

We did it! Thrilled to announce our team crushed the institute's pumpkin carving contest with a glowing masterpiece that scared off the competition. Thanks for all the votes and spooky vibes! 🎃🏆

This #WorldSightDay, learn new facts about #vision and practice good #EyeHealth habits. Discover current #research and learn about common vision conditions >> uhn.ca/EyeInstitute @uhn.ca @uhnresearch.ca

Today, for #WorldSightDay, we're highlighting exciting research like the work underway in our lab! 🔬 We are focused on understanding the molecular processes of #glaucoma. This work will help protect and regenerate damaged nerves, ultimately preserving sight #visionresearch

The first lab meeting of the school year was filled with energy. Everyone is eager to get started. Looking forward to a year full of science, learning and new discoveries! @kbi-uhn.bsky.social @uhnresearch.ca @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social

Meet our summer students @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social! Sofia Cruz, from @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social, is a summer student in @sivaklab.bsky.social. This summer, she ran Western Blots to test newly synthesized drugs called PROTACs for their ability to degrade MNKs, hoping to address #glaucoma (1/2)

Today was all about bright ideas and bold research! #SummerStudentResearchDay brought together 25+ student presentations, with each student diving deep into discovery🔬🥼📚 Congrats to the winners! 🏆Eric Cheuk 🏆Tobi Oyedele 🏆Emma Twiss 🏆Chloe Baloh @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social @schroeder-uhn.bsky.social

Kudos to all the summer students who presented their research today!!

Proud of our summer student Sofia who did a great job presenting her project today at the Summer Student Research Day @kbi-uhn.bsky.social Keep up the amazing work Sofia!

“I really enjoy my brainstorming sessions with Jeremy. He's always willing to share his knowledge and discuss challenges I face in my project.” Meet Dr. Izhar Livne-Bar, a Scientific Associate in the Sivak lab @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social. Read in our newsletter >> bit.ly/4iE32p1 @uhn.ca @uhnresearch.ca

How much do we know about vision health? 🤔 💡Our scientists are dedicated to demystifying the #eye and its conditions and using research to improve current treatments and patient care. 📑This #VisionHealthMonth, read up on our latest research >> uhn.ca/EyeInstitute @uhn.ca @uhnresearch.ca

@ARVOinfo conference recap this afternoon discussing all the amazing talks and posters shared during the conference including feedback we received on our own work. That's a wrap hoping to meet everyone again next year in Denver! #ARVO #ARVO2025 #science #scicomm

Hello World! Welcome to the official page of the Sivak Lab!!!! @dkjei-uhn.bsky.social @kbi-uhn.bsky.social @uoft.bsky.social Stay tuned for updates on our current work!! #glaucoma #Neuroscience #retina #UHN #researcher #Science #visionresearch
