SO excited about this! @IshmailSaboor and I are recruiting a joint postdoc to develop tagging/manipulation tools designed for the peripheral nervous system. Come join our labs as we tackle this exciting and challenging problem together!

Come do a joint postdoc with me and @tinakim_neuro, splitting time between Princeton and Columbia. HHMI position. Come design activity-dependent labeling enzymes and transcriptional reporters optimized for application in the peripheral nervous system.

We're hiring a lab manager to help run operations here at Princeton!
We're a dynamic and friendly group of scientists, excited to collaborate and build our research vision at the new Omenn-Darling Bioengineering Institute & Neuro Institute!
Apply here: hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/e…
Thank you so much Tina!! I truly appreciate your guidance, support, and encouragement throughout this journey!!
Congrats to @RunChesterZhang on a fantastic thesis defense! His thesis developed activity-dependent proximity labeling tools for activated neurons—displaying a mastery of protein engineering, optimization, & characterization of enzyme modules. We will miss you in the lab, Run!

I am very excited to share that our lab will be moving to @Princeton in January of 2025!
We will be in the new Bioengineering Institute @omenndarlingbio & the @PrincetonNeuro Institute. I'm excited for new research directions at the interface of these two fantastic groups! (1/2)

.@ucdavis researchers have developed a rapid, noninvasive tool to track the neurons and biomolecules activated in the brain by psychedelic drugs. Learn more @naturemethods @UCDavisIPN @DEOlsonLab

Here we present the very first paper of our lab for a calcium-dependent version of split-TurboID (CaST). It allows rapid and non-invasive labeling of active neurons for both in vitro and in vivo applications simply by exogenous biotin administration.
And it’s out! Our lab’s very first paper is published today @naturemethods!
Our calcium-activated split-TurboID (CaST) can biochemically tag activated neurons within 10 minutes, enabling a molecular handle on functionally relevant cell ensembles: tinyurl.com/ddyecxze
Thanks to my mentor @tinakim_neuro for the guidance and support, Kim lab members @LatinaNeuroNerd, Sophia Lin, Joshua Chandra, and Sruti Vadde for all the hard work to push this project forward, and our great collaborators @DEOlsonLab and Isak Aarrestad to make it a robust story.

We are hiring a tech in our lab @ UC Davis! We develop tools to study how neural circuits elicit behavioral changes in motivation/memory/drug-use.
Apply here: recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06295
You can expect a friendly & fast paced learning environment, publications, and conferences!

How does the hippocampal awake ripple play a role in facilitating emotional memory encoding? Excited to share my work with IvanSkelin and @linjj4, now published in @NatureComms!

Kim lab’s first SfN! Come check out our posters on Sunday + Monday morning! New tools & new biology @jessie_muir @RunChesterZhang @LatinaNeuroNerd @whatthechandra
Got CaST? Want to know more biochemically about your target neural ensembles?
Check out my poster Sunday 8:00am at VV10 to see how calcium sensing TurboID (CaST) tool can help boosting your project. #SfN23 @SfNtweets

Excited to share the first paper from our lab! tinyurl.com/5n7fvwvh We engineered a new kind of time-gated calcium integrator, CaST, that can rapidly and non-invasively tag activated neurons in vivo with a small, biochemical handle. What makes this tool special and unique? 1/6

I enjoyed writing this essay about my work using light + calcium integrators for the Science & PINS prize for Neuromodulation! Honored to be selected as a finalist and to have my essay published in Science tinyurl.com/4fuh46w7

Kim Lab’s first SFN, featuring new postdoc @jessie_muir! Also Day 1 of #FairUCNow. These people ARE the lab, and they deserve fair compensation and livable wages. It’s going to be an intense ride, and we’re here to support it.

Kim Lab Canine Spotlight: The Kim Lab puppies had SO fun much on our lab outing to Pacifica! Meet @LatinaNeuroNerd's Dachshund, Nova; @RunChesterZhang's Shiba, Xing Xing; & @tinakim_neuro's Shibas, Hato & Luna. (Oh, & the last pic is Isak, Josh, & Sophia with their “puppy”!) 🐾🐾
ALT A super cute tri-color Dachshund, wearing an orange harness and leash, is on a beach. In the background are trees, mountains, and clouds.
ALT A very good boy named Xing Xing (Shiba) is on a beach path. In the background are bushes and clouds.
ALT Two adorable Shibas, Hato (full size) & Luna (puppy), are sitting on a blue plaid picnic blanket on a beach. It's overcast, and the ocean and hills are in the background.
ALT Isak, Josh, & Sophia are on a beach path in Pacifica. Sophia is holding a small plushie in her hands. There are red arrows pointing to the plushie. Hills dotted with houses and the ocean are in the background.
