Gabbe is really on a poster-winning roll!

Gabbe was awarded second place at the South Texas Alzheimer's Conference for her work on the role of nonsense mediated RNA decay in tauopathy.

Dr. Frost was awarded an R01 from the National Institute on Aging entitled "Mechanisms of tau- and aging-induced neurological dysfunction: Focus on the nucleus." Co-investigators are Dr. Radek Dobrowolski and Dr. Habil Zare. Click the image to read more about the grant details.

The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation awarded Gabbe with a Young Investigator Scholarship to travel to the 13th Annual Drug Discovery for Neurodegeneration Conference in Long Beach, California. The course focuses on translating research into drug development.

Garrett Cornelison reports that pathological tau causes an accumulation of polyadenylated RNA within nuclear envelope invaginations in a Drosophila model of tauopathy. Genetic and pharmacologic approaches to reduce RNA export suppress tau-induced neurotoxicity.

Congratulations to Wenyan and Adrian, who have been selected as the 2018 recipients of the Joe H. Ward & Bettie B. Ward Award for Excellence in the Study of the Biology of Aging.

Great poster presentations by Gabbe Zuniga and Elizabeth Ochoa Thomas. Great oral presentation by Rebekah Mahoney! Frost lab represent.

Charlotte Anthony prepared a nice write-up in the Pipette Gazette about each of the new elected GSA officers. Simon is less blue in person than his Ambassadorial picture suggests.
