New publication in ELife “Analysis of the immune response to sciatic nerve injury identifies efferocytosis as a key mechanism of nerve debridement.”

The Giger lab is proud to announce the publication of our latest paper through ELife “Analysis of the immune response to sciatic nerve injury identifies efferocytosis as a key mechanism of nerve debridement.” Thank you to everyone involved! https://elifesciences.org/articles/60223

Congratulations to Rafi Kohen, PhD!

Rafi Kohen successfully defended his thesis “Small Hairpin RNA Interference in Neurons: RNA Sequencing Reveals Robust Synaptic Regulation Independent of Primary Target” on March 13 at the University of Michigan. He remained in the Giger lab through the summer to finishing and submitting his manuscript. Rafi is now off to Europe! We wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors!

Welcome to the Lab!

The Giger lab is very excited to announce the addition of two new graduate students, Hannah Hafner and Tony Robinson! Hannah has joined us through the department of Cell and Developmental Biology and Tony through the department of Cellular and Molecular Biology. We look forward to working with you both.
