Aug 04, 2023 - Julia heads to grad school
Julia Kravchenko, one of the lab's founding members, has "graduated" from being a technician in the lab and is starting a PhD in the Neuroscience Graduate Program at the University of Michigan! She'll be greatly missed, but we're excited for her (and glad she'll still be nearby). Best wishes, Julia!
Jun 15, 2023 - The Mattis lab turns 1!
It's hard to believe that our doors opened just one year ago. So proud of the lab and team we've built, and looking forward to the year ahead!
Jun 12, 2023 - Kamie joins the lab for summer 2023
We are very excited to welcome Kamie, a rising sophomore at Johns Hopkins, to the lab for the summer. Kamie is studying biomedical engineering and has previously worked as a research assistant in Dr. Lisa Larkin’s Skeletal Tissue Engineering Laboratory at UMich.
Jun 12, 2023 - Shahriar joins the lab for summer 2023
We are very excited to welcome Shahriar, a rising senior at Kalamazoo College, as an undergraduate student researcher for the summer of 2023. Shahriar is majoring in Computer Science with a Neuroscience concentration and a minor in Psychology. He received an Internship Stipend Award as well as the competitive Hough Foundation Grant from Kalamazoo College in support of his summer research. Congratulations and welcome, Shahriar!
Jun 12, 2023 - Meiling joins the lab
We are thrilled to welcome Meiling to the Mattis lab as our second postdoc! Meiling completed her PhD in the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, along with a dual master's degree in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics, both at the University of Michigan. Working in Sam Kwon's lab, she uncovered neuronal mechanisms of impaired perceptual learning associated with neurodevelopmental disorders using a mouse model of Synaptic Ras-GTPase-activating protein (SynGAP), behavioral testing, and in vivo two-photon calcium imaging.
