Chung Lab & CDI Labs Collaboration

Over the last few years, our lab has been working with CDI Labs in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico to validate the specificity of monoclonal antibodies produced from their company in different tissues. Ultimately, we will be using this information to be part of a antibody library that will allow the research community to interrogate brain structure and function, including complex intercellular relationships at multiple scales. This past week, a few members of our lab paid a visit to our partners at CDI Labs.

Congratulations to Minyoung Kim and Young Gyun Park as co-First authors, as well as Nick DiNapoli, Xinyi Gu, and Lee Kamentsky

This past week, some lab members saw the fruition of years of research and work with the publication of their paper, “Brain-wide mapping reveals that engrams for a single memory are distributed across multiple brain regions” in Nature Communications. Further, two of the lab members, Minyoung Kim and Young Gyun Park were counted as co-first authors! Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this paper, and keep up the great work.

Welcome Lunch for Slayton Marx

We welcomed Slayton this past week to our lab as our newest Research Software Engineer. Slayton will be helping to revamp our servers to drastically improve the efficiency of our computational analysis. In addition to this, Slayton will be working in our lab’s computations team and will be instrumental to helping our researchers get the needed information and data for all of our exciting research.
