A study out today in @natgenet.nature.com from Core Investigator Luke Gilbert, Haolong Li, & others identifies PTGES3 as a critical regulator of androgen receptor (AR) protein levels in prostate cancer, revealing a potential new target for tumors that become treatment-resistant.

The genetic code is full of synonymous codons that, for decades, were assumed to be interchangeable. Today, with NVIDIA, co-led by @genophoria.bsky.social, we announce CodonFM, a family of open-source AI models that reveal the grammar underlying codon choice: developer.nvidia.com/blog/introdu...

Welcome to our 9th Core Investigator and first physician-scientist, John Pluvinage. His team investigates the hidden overlap between autoimmunity and neurodegeneration, developing targeted treatments for mysterious neurological cases and common dementias.

(7/8) Thanks to @deisseroth.bsky.social‬, @mishaahrens.bsky.social & Chris Harvey for their contributions, and to @kempnerinstitute.bsky.social & @harvardmed.bsky.social‬ for supporting computational neuroscience research. Read the paper here: arxiv.org/abs/2506.14957

Book launch day is here 🚀 How to Change a Memory, in physical and audio form: www.amazon.com/How-Change-M... and here's a preview of one of the book's central themes: memories change and, as a result, we change too🧠. www.statnews.com/2025/11/04/a...

What does "Human-centered neural engineering and AI" mean? It means prioritizing the patient across the entire pipeline: Discovery, Design, and Delivery of neuro-engineering treatments for psychiatric disorders. Join me to discuss at @embs.org #NER25 hosted by @onemindaccelerator.bsky.social

How mood states shift in the brain remains one of psychiatry’s biggest mysteries. With generous support from @bipolardiscoveries.org, our @sinaibrain.bsky.social team will apply cutting-edge techniques to map these transitions—aiming to build the most precise understanding of bipolar disorder yet.

One important part of The Dunn Lab culture is to spend time together outside the lab! It was so refreshing to be able to host a recent lab lunch for us to reconnect & share ideas in a different setting - always great for creativity ✨🧪

Looking forward to my CONNECT seminar on December 3, 2025! I’ll share my path from MIT PhD to founding @stellatecomms.bsky.social, and show how we use research, strategy & design to tell science stories ✨👩🏻‍🔬🧪 Learn more about the series, other speakers + register here: cnlm.uci.edu/connect/

Must-read #NYBCI25 coverage by @neurotechnology.substack.com in @forbes.com. My key takeaway on cognitive BCI: Our biggest limiting factor isn't tech—it's fundamental scientific understanding. We can’t advance the tech until we define the disorder. Basic research must lead the way!

A quick thread of some great Purdue representation sharing our amazing science at @ispg.bsky.social annual conference #WCPG2025! 🧬 🧠 🧪 First up: @ktnthompson.bsky.social presented work investigating whether family acceptance & belonging mitigate depression risk 👪

Published today in @natureportfolio.nature.com Biotechnology, Laine Goudy, Luke Gilbert, Alex Marson, & colleagues report an epigenetic editing platform that safely reprograms multiple genes in human T cells without many of the challenges & risks associated with traditional gene editing approaches.

⚗️ @stellatecomms.bsky.social began with the idea that science deserves to be shared, understood & celebrated. This month we celebrate 5 years of Stellate! To my team: thank you for believing in this dream as much as I do. You’re the magic behind it all✨ www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU5P...

Happy to share that our Comprehensive Adolescent Rehabilitation and Education Service (CARES) is now in a new location where we're better equipped to help youth facing mental health and substance use challenges. Congratulations to the team, and special shout out to CARES Director, Shilpa Taufique 🎉

For decades, human genome editing has been limited to small, localized modifications. Today, in a new paper published in @science.org , researchers from Arc's Hsu lab show that bridge recombinase technology is capable of large-scale genomic rearrangements in human cells.

So excited for this! Can't wait to see everyone there!

With plans to make Germinal freely available, the team is lowering the barrier for antibody discovery and opening new doors for both basic research and potential therapies. Learn more in the full preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In another preprint from the @brianhie.bsky.social Lab and @synbiogaolab.bsky.social, they introduce Germinal, a generative AI system for de novo antibody design. Germinal produces functional nanobodies in just dozens of tests, making custom antibody design more accessible than ever before.

Geminii Health had a great discussion with Senator Joni Ernst during her Small Business & Entrepreneurs Expo, where we shared our work using wireless signals to improve health⚡ Grateful for the strong backing from the State of Iowa where we’re proud to be one of the top state-supported investments!
