Ten years ago, Dr. Jeff Lichtman, a professor of molecular and cellular biology at Harvard, received a tiny brain sample the size of a grain of rice. Despite its small size, the sample contained 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses. His team, in collaboration with Google, spent a decade analyzing it, accumulating 1,400 terabytes of data—roughly the equivalent of over 1 billion books. Today, this data has become the most detailed map of a human brain sample ever created, providing unprecedented insight into brain structure and function. At 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 - 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲, we believe that cutting-edge research fuels better patient care. Follow us for important updates, expert guidance, and the latest in medical science.

🌟 Exciting News of a Major Milestone! 🌟 Thrilled to share that our manuscript has been published with Springer Nature in Nature Protocols! This paper focuses on addressing a long-standing critical issue in academia and industry: the reproducibility crisis. Why does this matter? Antibodies are essential reagents in scientific research, but inconsistencies in their performance often lead to wasted resources, compromised and irreproducible results. By addressing these issues through robust step-by-step protocols using genetic strategies and renewable antibodies, we aim to empower researchers with the confidence and tools to generate more reliable and impactful data in Immunoblot, Immunoprecipitation, and Immunofluorescence applications.

Dr. Evelina Akimova’s primary research areas are health inequalities, focusing on chronotype and wellbeing, using computational social science and statistical genetics methods. Her current research focuses on the use of molecular genetics, survey, and accelerometer data to understand the complex interplay between chronotype, depressive symptoms, and labor market decisions and trajectories. Beyond social science genomics, Dr. Akimova is focusing on causal inference methods, particularly investigating the harmful consequences of different types of collider bias and sample selection. She is also engaged in meta-analytic techniques applied to social stratification research. To read more about Dr. Akimova, click the link below! •https://lnkd.in/e5CjqtcJ

Are you ready for the RNA revolution? Here's how Polaris Genomics is tapping into biology for mental health discovery. https://lnkd.in/enjUnMyn A must-read for scientific forward thinkers and health advocates from all walks, a recent NY Times article by Nobel laureate Dr. Thomas Cech discusses the growing importance of RNA in the field of biology.   This is particularly relevant for biotech companies like Polaris Genomics, leaders in this new and innovative field, creating novel platforms for research and diagnosis advancement centered on the untapped knowledge within our RNA. Dr. Cech highlights how RNA, once seen as a mere messenger molecule overshadowed by DNA, is now being recognized for its potential in fields including medicine and biotechnology. #Genomics #RNA #MentalHealth #MentalHealthResearch

How can cost-effective and better DNA sequencing unlock breakthroughs in medicine while collecting immense amounts of data? MBZUAI's Assistant Professor Eduardo da Veiga Beltrame explains how advances in computational biology allow scientists to collect vast data sets and ask more complex questions. By turning biology experiments into sequencing problems, researchers gain insights into genetics and cellular function that can drive personalized medicine forward. With MBZUAI’s growing expertise in computational biology, Beltrame envisions a future where single-cell analysis transforms diagnostics and treatment.

Do you have experience of work involving the latest developments in neural organoids and neural organoid-based models? If so, I'd love to hear from you!   At Nuffield Council on Bioethics we've opened a call for evidence for a new project that I'm leading, tackling ethical and regulatory questions regarding neural organoid research. 🧠   Research using neural organoids is advancing at pace, moving us into a place where we could gain useful scientific and health insights.   This call for evidence will help us to accurately assess and provide an ethical review of where we are today and where we could be headed. I hope the recommendations we develop can inform practical solutions for researchers and policymakers alike.   This is open to all those who carry out, fund and oversee neural organoid research, and from all those with expertise in the ethical and regulatory issues raised by the use of neural organoids in research.   If you are interested in submitting a response, or have any questions about this work, please do get in touch with me!: mindandbrain@nuffieldbioethics.org 📧   More info here>> https://lnkd.in/dBMMbC-W 🔗   Thank you!   #MakingEthicsMatter #bioethics #MindAndBrain #BrainResearch #NeuralOrganoids

We are excited about the #ProbiotaAmericas conference this week. Our Discovery Team Lead, M. Adnan Qureshi, Ph.D. will be presenting on "A Preclinical Cognitive Health Platform for Discovering Biotics Targeting the Gut-Brain Axis" at this meeting!    In humans, cognitive health is assessed by a variety of endpoints including memory, learning, reasoning, focus, concentration and alertness. The C. elegans model has been used for cognitive phenotypes like memory and learning, however these readouts are low throughput and not conducive for bioactive screening. At the meeting, Dr. Qureshi will present an innovative approach to measure alertness-like phenotype for high throughput bioactive screening, paving the way for developing new biotics that modulate gut-brain axis and boost cognition!    Stay tuned for more updates! #CognitiveHealth #GutBrainAxis #Biotics #HighThroughput #Innovation #NemaLife
