Sensory Physiology Club keeps promoting science among school students. This time we hosted 65 kids form around New Haven!
Rafael nailed his talk during today’s Physiology RIP seminar!
Luke is one step closer to his defense! 
Rebecca just gave a amazing talk at INT RIP seminar. Here is the Q&A section:
Mai gave a great talk at today’s Physiology RIP seminar!!
Our paper on mechanotransduction in the afferent terminal is highlighted by eLife!
Maddy does it again, now at the Neuroscience seminar!!
Luke nailed his talk at today’s Physiology RIP seminar!
Luke’s study on mechanotransduction in nerve terminals is out in eLife!

Bittersweet news: Jenny Feng leaves Elena’s lab to become an Assistant Professor in the Biology Department at Wesleyan University.
Good luck, Professor Feng!!!
Maddy gave a superb (and happy) talk at today’s INP RIP seminar!
Emily Gu is a now a High School Intern in Elena’s lab. Welcome Emily!
Slav and Elena lab members went to the Smith Family Awards Program for Excellence in Biomedical Research 30th Anniversary at Harvard Club!
Sarah’s postering!
Sarah and Rafael went to Price Family Center Inaugural Symposium at Rockefeller University!
Luke, Yury and Slav went to Lake Tahoe, CA for the 2022 Keystone Vertebrate Sensory Systems symposium!
Congratulations to Rebecca on receiving the F32 NRSA fellowship from NINDS! From the first try. Great job!

After a long hiatus, our Physiology renewed in-person seminars. It was our pleasure to host Dr. Laura Bianchi!
Thank you for the wonderful seminar!
Ben Bae is a Visiting Undergraduate Trainee in both labs.
Welcome Ben!
After a long hiatus, we’re back to in-person Student Research Talks, and Sarah kicked it off with a great story on hibernation! In vivo!
Srsly, IN VIVO!!!
The Bagriantsev and Gracheva Labs at Yale were launched on this day 10 years ago. And so was this website.
Maddy successfully passes yet another committee meeting! It’s the first one in-person! Good-ol times are back!
A nice report covering Rafael’s recent paper is published in J Exp Biol:
Ground squirrels hibernate through puberty by Brittney G. Borowiec
Congratulations!
Maddy, Rafael and Elena presented their work at GRC Hypothalamus in Venura, Ca!

Morning run before the show!
Join our labs, do great science, go great places!
Neuroethology is one of the greatest venue to go to and present Slav & Elena labs’ work! This year in Lisbon!

Join our labs to do great science and go great places!
We just finished two incredible weeks of outreach! Two groups of New Haven school students came to Slav and Elena Labs’ own Sensory Physiology Club to learn how we smell, taste, hear, touch and see.
Jiawen Zhang joins Elena’s laboratory! Welcome!
Joanna gives her first (and great) talk at INP research-in-progress seminar. Congrats!
