Please check out our new preprint! Using single cell analysis paired with HCR to visualize transcript localization we have identified cell and tissue-specific expression of various genes encoding tubulins, kifs, and dyneins during neural crest development!

Excited to share this collaborative work with @sarathomasy.bsky.social- spearheaded by Raneesh Ramarapu and William Stoehr- where we visualized the unique spatial localization of tubulin isotopes in neural crest-derived corneal tissues during development. 🀩

Sometimes I think students assume I’m always at my desk waiting for them to send me documents to edit or to request letters of rec that are due in a day. I don’t know if they realize I’m a human that has a life and doesn’t really like to drop everything I’m doing to do these things last minute.

Last weekend, the Bronner Lab alumni, current mentees, and friends/collaborators got together at #BronnerFest2026 to celebrate science and a storied and inspirational 30 years @caltech.edu for Dr. Marianne Bronner. It was amazing and the community that she has built is πŸ”₯! Hope to see you all soon!
