Belated congratulations to the newly minted Dr. Bagnell (@abagnell_sci)! She’s going on to do amazing things as a Medical Affairs Postdoctoral Fellow with Sanofi and we miss her dearly!

For #SMAAwarenessMonth 💜 we want to highlight new research offering hope for treating spinal muscular atrophy before birth.
The @MackenzieTippi lab and @SumnerLab found that intra-amniotic delivery of SMN2 ASOs improved survival and motor function in SMA mouse models, surpassing outcomes of postnatal treatment.
Antisense oligonucleotides injected into amniotic fluid led to healthier motor neurons, improved behavior and survival in mouse models of spinal muscular atrophy. @HopkinsMedicine @UCSFMedicine scim.ag/43kciJ4
Thanks for the shout out!! We’re committed to working to develop new treatment modalities to improve patients’ experiences.
🎉 Congratulations to our amazing post doc @MoLOTSofScience for receiving an F32 NIH grant! This award will help fund Dr. Molotsky’s incredible research into the mechanisms of SMA selective motor neuron degeneration. 🎉

Congratulations to @CMM_JHU Anna Bagnell @abagnell_sci for winning the @JohnsHopkins Empower Your Pitch competition!
Anna studies the role TRPV4 plays in regulating blood neural barriers in the @SumnerLab at @HopkinsMedicine.

It’s online today!! So excited to share 🤩 Feels unreal to see it official after all those years. Ilaria started the project 10y ago, Liza did the bulk of it for her PhD & I completed it all (added some ASO/therapeutics & perfected the looks of it 😉)

When dreaming about TRP channels, dream BIGGER!
Our new pre-print "Crosstalk between regulatory elements in the disordered TRPV4 N-terminus modulates lipid-dependent channel activity" is finally out!

Congrats, Erika!!!! 🥳
Congratulations, Dr Erika! What a fun journey this was, spanning multiple continents and dozens of proteins! #PPI4Ever ! Also thank you @SumnerLab & @FulbrightPrgrm for making this possible!

After fantastic talks yesterday, including the breathtaking take on TRPV4 channelopathies by @SumnerLab, now a fascinating historic perspective and the connection to TRPA1 by @sejordt at the 20 years of TRPV4 conference! What will we talk about in another 20 years?!🤯

The Sumner lab said goodbye to Will and Jeff with Ekiben in Patterson Park last week. 😢 While we’re all so sad, huge congrats is in order to Will for finishing his PhD and to Jeff for getting into med school at Pitt!! Congrats to you both 🥳 we know you’ll do incredible things!
