Millie Rogers is a second-year graduate student at the University of Miami. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida, where she studied the genetics underlying cochlear detoxification in the mammalian inner ear. She continues her research in genetics at University of Miami, where she is currently investigating the role of a newly identified human disease gene in degenerative neuromuscular phenotypes. Since beginning graduate school, she has taught general biology lab to approximately 30 students/class, leading undergraduates in learning and practicing experimental design and laboratory skills. She is also the proud mentor of three undergraduate students in her lab, whom she has trained in various laboratory techniques related to her research.
SFARI is pleased to announce that it intends to fund 15 grants in response to the 2022 Genomics of ASD: Pathways to Genetic Therapies request for applications.
SFARI hosted a virtual workshop on March 14 and 18, 2022, to discuss the best practices for the development and use of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell models for autism research, including iPS cells generated from SFARI autism cohorts.
On July 5, 2022, SFARI hosted an informational session on the 2022 Genomics of ASD: Pathways to Biological Convergence and Genetic Therapies request for applications (RFA). The session featured a discussion of the RFA’s objectives and priorities and an opportunity to ask questions with SFARI senior scientists Pamela Feliciano, Alan Packer, and Julia Sommer.
The Bridge to Independence Award program serves as an overall scientific support system to help early-career scientists successfully launch their independent research positions. Fellows receive a commitment of $495,000 over three years, activated upon assumption of a tenure-track professorship, as well as a designated $10,000 gift for professional development activities to be spent during the transition year.
Lilia Iakoucheva and colleagues found that mice lacking a copy of the high-confidence ASD risk gene Cul3 have reduced brain volumes, potentially due to defects in Rho signaling during brain development.
Julia Dallman is an associate professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Miami. She also directs the University of Miami Zebrafish Facility.
