Brad and Seung-Yeon’s work is published in PNAS
Brad and his colleague discovered a rare missense variant in GPR156 associated with a two-fold increase in the relative risk of Major Mood Disorder.
BrightFocus Alzheimer's Disease Research Foundation funded our proposal!
This award will support us to study how Alzheimer's disease affects our internal circadian clock and disrupts sleep. Sleep disruption is one of major symptoms and risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. This award will also allow us to test innovative approaches to reset the internal clock and promote healthy sleep and thereby reverse disease progression. We are hiring a postdoctoral scientist to work on this important project. If you know any talented postdoctoral candidates, please send them along!
Jae-eun gave a seminar at Mount Sinai.
I took a big trip crossing Central Park today to give a talk at Mount Sinai BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute. It was so nice meeting new people and learning about the cool imaging/recording tools.
Our research proposal for the Alzheimer's Association International Research Grant is funded!
This will fund our project investigating the functional breakdown in the entorhinal-hippocampal circuit (important brain area for learning and memory and early site that is affected by Alzheimer's disease) in Tauopathy. We are so excited about our new partnership with the Alzheimer's Association on this exciting and important work.
Healthy Aging Pilot Award Secured!
We received a 2024-2025 Healthy Aging Pilot Award! Our proposal will bring cutting-edge neuroscience approaches to aging research by directly imaging the master circadian clock rhythm in aging, directly resetting the circadian clock, and determining if this promotes healthy aging. This basic research is the foundation of next-generation treatments that modulate the circadian clock.
NIMH BRAINS R01 Award Received!
We received an NIMH BRAINS R01 grant to support our work on serotonin. Thanks to all our lab members that made this a success! We are now recruiting motivated postdocs.
Welcome to the lab, Miru Yun!
We are thrilled to have her join as a postdoc after completing a BA and a PhD at KAIST in Korea. Check out her work on the role of dorsal and ventral hippocampus on value and outcome processing.
Summer Kick-off Picnic!
Kang Miller Lab Summer Kick-off Picnic in Central Park. Looking forward to a great summer this year.
Welcome to the lab, Başak Akdoğan!
Her thesis was on relative and absolute representations of time guide behavior. We are thrilled to have her join as a postdoc after completing a PhD at Columbia University with Peter Balsam.
Interested in imaging deep brain regions? Check out our new methods paper.
We describe new approaches to correcting for high degrees of motion and correlation in deep brain nuclei. Congrats to first author Grace Paquelet.
Passing the baton from Hill to Fabliha.
Congratulations to our wonderful technician Hilledna Gregoire! She is leaving to start the MSTP at Mount Sinai. You will be missed. Welcome to the lab, Fabliha Hussain! We are thrilled to have you.
Welcome to the lab, Seung Yeon Ko!
We are thrilled to have her join as a postdoc after completing a PhD. Check out the link she made between TRPM2 channels and stress.
What activates serotonergic neurons?
Check out our paper published in Neuron today. Congrats to first author Grace Paquelet!
Congratulations to Grace Paquelet for defending her PhD thesis today at Columbia!
Stay tuned for her paper coming out next week with a new take on the serotonin system.
