Congratulations, Dr. Rhoads!

We are thrilled to present Dr. Shannon Rhoads as the second Cohen Lab PhD graduate! Co-mentored by Todd Cohen, Shannon used multispectral imaging to reveal that neurons and astrocytes have distinct organelle signatures and responses to neurodegenerative disease-associated stress. Congratulations, Dr. Rhoads!

Lab Attends Cell Bio 2024

The Cohen Lab had a spectacular time at Cell Bio 2024 in San Diego. Sarah co-chaired a session on “Lipids in Organelle Form and Function,” Shannon and Maria Clara gave talks, and Sherry and Vickie presented posters. Plus yummy Italian food. See y’all next year in Philadelphia!

Cohen Lab Attends Cell Bio 2023

We had a great time at Cell Bio 2023 in Boston, MA. Sarah co-chaired a session on “Lipids in Organelle Form, Function, and Communication,” and gave a talk in the “Beyond Pretty Pictures” Subgroup, while Maria Clara, Shannon, and Sherry presented posters. A highlight was seeing Maria Clara and Sherry’s gorgeous images on the Zeiss Microscopy WOW Wall!!

Congratulations, Dr. Windham!

Today we celebrated a major milestone – the defense of the first Cohen Lab PhD student! Congratulations, Dr. Windham!!! Ian will soon move on to a postdoc position in the Alushin lab at Rockefeller. We are proud of you, best of luck!

Happy Halloween from the Cohen Lab!

We had so much fun dressing up as organelles for Halloween! Sherry is a microtubule; Greg is mitochondria; Maria Clara is peroxisomes; Alex is lipid droplets; Joey is a lysosome; Vickie is the Golgi; Shannon is a stress granule; Ian is a chloroplast; and Sarah is the ER! So much creativity in these costumes!

PS What do you call an elevator full of organelles? A CELL-evator!
