Congratulations to Jiaping Gu and Liang Han
Jiaping Gu and Liang Han successfully defended their theses on July 30th. Both students relocated with me to Emory last summer and went back to Robert Wood Johnson Medical School for their thesis defense. Since the Neuroscience Program is a joint graduate program of Rutgers/UMDNJ, Jiaping and Liang will receive their diploma with both universities' names on it!.Liang's thesis: "SPATIAL SIGNALING AND DIRECTIONAL CONTROL IN AXON GUIDANCE"
Jiaping's thesis: "CYTOSKELETAL REGULATION OF DENDRITIC SPINES"

We have moved!!
The lab has moved to Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. We are now part of the Cell Biology Department, Emory University, School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA. The lab is physically located on the fifth floor, which houses several labs from the Cell Biology department, the center for neurodegenerative diseases (CND), and labs of the Neurology department. Very exciting!
