The study of memory mechanisms to identify new therapeutic targets for PTSD

In this video, Dr. Mark Cembrowski, Assistant Professor at University of British Columbia, explores the importance of understanding the physical underpinnings of fear memory in order to find new therapies for fear-related memory disorders like PTSD. Kaitlin Sullivan, an MSc Student in the Cembrowski Lab, discusses how the lab uses single-cell RNA sequencing to look for neurons that are active during the creation and recollection of fear memory, in the hopes of being able to disrupt these processes.

RNAscope™ Technology

Advanced Cell Diagnostics

Independent of your genes of interest, thes easy RNA in situ hybridization assays use common reagents and protocols; providing universal assay conditions. All RNA-ISH kits contain reagents in a convenient ready-to-use (RTU) format, and chromogenic dyes are available to interrogate a single or two genes simultaneously. Most versatile are the RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent Reagent Kits, enabling you to interrogate 1, 2 or 3 genes simultaneously.
