Dr. Christopher Piggott visited our lab. Chris was a PhD student when Ked did a postdoctoral training in the Jin lab. He brought Ken's favorite beer, Sculpin IPA of Ballast Point Brewing Company!
2024.12.31 Our paper is published in PNAS!
Our paper is published in PNAS! We addressed the neuronal mechanism of age-dependent behavioral decline in C. elegans and found that hyperactive neurons inhibit normal behavior in aged animals. We were surprised that killing these hyperactive neurons ameliorated the age-dependent behavioral decline.
2024.12.13 Suhong gave a talk!
Dr. Suhong Xu visited Nagoya University and gave a fantastic talk entitled "Strategies for plasma membrane repair". Ken and Suhong did their postdoc training in the Jin/Chisholm lab together at UCSD. They are happy to drink together after a while!
2024.9.24-28 Rikuou presented a poster at CSHL!
Rikuou presented a poster at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Meeting on the Mechanism of Aging. He was brave enough to insist on two big shots, Drs. Cynthia Kenyon and Coleen Murphy, to look at his poster during a mixer.
