Congratulations to Marc Benoit for successfully defending his PhD thesis. Dr. Benoit has conducted his thesis study in the Yan lab by investigating the cell autonomous and non-autonomous role of the C-terminal fragment of CX3CL1 by utilizing unbiased single nucleus RNA sequencing approach.  Marc has also published his study on identifying defects in maturation of […]

Sarah Palko, neuroscience graduate student, is studying age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in the Mohan lab. Their work has shown in multiple models of retinal degeneration that the enzyme peptidyl arginine deiminase-4 (PAD4) drives a pathological process known as citrullination (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2121875119). Sarah has now extended her study by validating a critical role for PAD4 driven hypercitrullination […]
