April 2020
Jacob McLennan successfully defended his undergraduate senior thesis in neuroscience via Zoom! Congratulations, Jacob!
March 2020
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Takesian Lab has gone virtual! Even though we cannot see each other (or our mice) in person, we’ve been working hard to stay connected with each other and curious for our science.
January 2020
Lucas Vattino, Ph.D., Christine Junhui Liu, and Ben Glickman gave great poster presentations at Association for Research in Otolaryngology in San Jose!
December 2019
Nick Schubert, a M.D./Ph.D. student in Sonja Pyott’s lab at the University Medical Center Groningen, joined the lab for a six-month research collaboration!
October 2019
Carolyn Sweeney, Ph.D., Angela Zhu, and Vivek Kanumuri, M.D. gave fantastic poster presentations at Advances and Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience and Society of Neuroscience in Chicago! Pictured, Carolyn was also among the five receipts for the prestigious APAN travel award!
October 2019
Christine Junhui Liu, a second year SHBT Ph.D. student, officially joined the Takesian lab for her dissertation research!
September 2019
Wisam Reid, a second year SHBT Ph.D. student joined the lab for his rotation!
September 2019
Maryse Thomas,Ph.D. joined our lab as a postdoctoral fellow. She received a prestigious award for postdoctoral funding from Fonds de recherche du Québec - Nature et technologies (FRQNT).
May 2019
Lucas Vattino, Ph.D. joined our lab as a postdoctoral fellow. He was named one of the ten 2019 Pew Latin American fellows. This prestigious fellowship supports exceptional fellows from Latin America to conduct research in biomedical sciences in the United States and to expand scientific expertise in their home countries. Lucas aims to explore the neural circuitry that allows the brain to interpret and respond appropriately to sound.
May 2019
Carolyn Sweeney, Ph.D. received an individual postdoctoral fellowship award (F32) funding from the NIDCD to pursue postdoctoral study on neuromodulatory signaling on cortical layer 1 interneurons.
January 2019
Christine Junhui Liu, a first year SHBT student joined our Lab for a rotation.
October 2018
Dr. Takesian was awarded the Jacob Young Scholar Award. This award funds a collaborative project with Drs. Aristizabal, Dunn, Srikanth, and Saul to establish bi-directional, translational models of dysregulated plasticity across development.
September 2018
Jacob Mclennan joined the lab as an undergraduate student after choosing Dr. Takesian as his Neuroscience concentration advisor.
September 2018
Angela Zhu, a University of Miami medical student and HHMI research fellow in the Lee/Brown lab joined the Takesian Lab to collaborate on the cortical activation by auditory brainstem implants.
September 2018
Dongqin Cai, Ph.D. joined the lab as a joint postdoctoral fellow with the Polley Lab. She is our first electrophysiologist focusing on the neurobiology of hyperexcitable brain circuits from synapses to perception.
July 2018
Carolyn Sweeney, Ph.D. joined as our first postdoctoral fellow after completing her Ph.D. at University of Massachusetts Medical School!
June 2018
Ben Glickman joined as a research technician in June 2018 to help launch the Takesian lab.
March 2018
Dr. Takesian received an Early Career Award by NIDCD that will fund an exciting project on an unexpected long-range projection from auditory cortex.
March 2018
Vivek Kanumuri, M.D., a resident-physician working with Dan Lee and Chris Brown has joined the team on a collaborative project to understand plasticity in the auditory cortex following brainstem or cochlear implants.
February 2018
Ana Castro and Emma He joined the laboratory after giving a fantastic presentation at ARO in San Diego!
