FUNDED!!! - Retina Research Foundation grant!

The lab was awarded the RRF research grant to work on the interaction between pcdh15b, cdhr1a and the function of calyces processes in zebrafish photoreceptors.

 

 

March 2024

 

Carter is awarded the 2024 SURA award

This award will enable Carter to continue his studies on mertka and tyro3 during the summer. Well done Carter!

 

 

April 2024

 

Meet attends ARVO in Seattle WA, presenting his work on cdhr1a and pcdh15b linking photoreceptor outer segments with calyceal processes.

 

 

June 2024

 

The lab attends the 2024 MidWest Zebrafish meeting is St. Louis. Five posters from the Famulski lab were at the conference!!! And congrats to Deep Patel for defending his best undergrad poster presentation by winning the award for the second time in a row. Congrats Deep!

 

 

July 2024

 

Welcome AARON WEST to our lab. Aaron joins us to develop a new project in the lab looking at the function of the TAM receptor axl in zebrafish. Happy to have you onboard!

 

 

August 2024

 

​Congrats to Meet for being awarded the 2024 Morgan Fellowship from the department of Biology! Way to go!

NEW Lab publication:

Meet Patel, W.P. Piedade and JK Famulski. Cdhr1a and pcdh15b link photoreceptor outer segments with inner segment calyceal processes revealing a potential mechanism for cone-rod dystrophyeLife reviewed pre-print!

 

     This work encompasses Meet's PhD project where he discovered that cdhr1a interacts with      

     pcdh15b in order to stabilize calyceal processes that are necessary for cone cell outer  

     segment integrity. His findings propose a novel mechanism that may contribute to cone-

     rod dystrophy in CDHR1 patients.
