Jul 01, 2026 - Lab expansion, part 2
The Mattis lab is expanding again! We are grateful for the opportunity to move into additional desk and bench space, such that everyone will have a place to sit, and we will have more room for experiments. (It's been shoulder-to-shoulder, as pictured!)
Jun 16, 2026 - Amanuel joins the lab
We are delighted to welcome Amanuel as a new PhD student in the lab. Amanuel has an undergraduate research background in population genetics and worked as a lab technician in an avian systems neuroscience lab prior to joining the NGP at UofM. Amanuel's rotation project involved analysis of plethysmography data collected before, during, and after seizures in the Dravet syndrome mouse model. Welcome, Amanuel!
Jun 15, 2026 - Celebrating 4 years of the lab!
The Mattis lab is 4 years old! We had a joyful celebration including lab alumni, established lab members, and recent arrivals. We've achieved a lot already and there are so many things to look forward to accomplishing during the next 4 years!
Jun 15, 2026 - Kashvi joins the lab
We are excited to welcome Kashvi as a new technician in the lab! Kashvi recently graduated from Rutgers with a degree in Cell Biology and Neuroscience, with an honor's thesis focused on meningeal lymphatic vasculature. She will work with Joe to manage the lab's mouse colonies, and with Krystal to investigate mechanisms of SUDEP. Welcome, Kashvi!
Jun 11, 2026 - Angad joins the lab
We are excited to welcome Angad Chauhan as a new undergraduate student in the lab! Angad is a rising freshman who already gained a significant amount of computational research experience - including analysis of EEG data - as a high school student. Angad intends to major in Biomolecular Sciences and then to attend medical school. Angad will join an ongoing team effort to characterize the postictal state in the Dravet syndrome mouse model. Welcome, Angad!
