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
