Majority of OIST researchers would like to develop and pursue successful careers in academia. This month, we will have two informal sessions focusing on the following two themes and exploring how they relate to this commonly shared aspiration. 1. Why do you keep applying for grants? (and what will happen if you do not?) 2. What are your goals?

OIST Workshop - Application Deadline: Jan 6 2016 - OIST members are welcome to attend all scientific sessions.

Title:

Functional interplay between the adhesion molecule CHL1 and sonic hedgehog signaling pathway during development of cerebellum

Abstract:

Several L1-related adhesion molecules, expressed in a well-coordinated temporospatial pattern during development, are important for fine tuning of specific cerebellar circuitries. CHL1, the close homologue of L1, is abundantly expressed in the developing and adult cerebellum and required for normal cerebellar cytoarchitecture. Constitutive ablation of CHL1 in mice caused significant loss of Purkinje and granule cells in the adult cerebellum. We identify CHL1 as a novel ligand of patched-1, a receptor for...
