It’s been an amazing journey! I’m incredibly grateful to have been part of this lab —and now to have the chance to start my own and carry on the tradition of pursuing transformative science!

Ardem Patapoutian @ardemp.bskyverified.social · Mar 24

Last week in the lab for both @rocioservin.bsky.social and @rose-hill.bsky.social before they head off to launch their own! Trainees: this is your chance to join exciting, well-funded labs.

Also, please note the wasabi (TRPA1 agonist) in PIEZO trimer form — an homage to my lab’s arc…

Posting a little bit late, but great retreat —amazing food, amazing people… not so-amazing weather ☁️❄️ Excited for the next chapter at Northwestern University.

In these uncertain times when science 🧪 is under attack, we still managed to celebrate @rose-hill.bsky.social & Rocio Servin at an epic Joshua Tree camping trip for starting their own labs at OHSU & Northwestern. Both have been key members of the lab — we’ll miss them so much. More below!
