🚨Job alert in theory/math devbio 🚨 I’m currently advertising postdoc positions to join my group. We’re building reaction-diffusion models to understand some of the crazy things embryos can do. We are based in a beautiful part of Scotland :). Please share! www.abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/rese...

Excited to attend this upcoming meeting on cortical development and hear from some of the leading voices in the field. I’ll also be presenting our work from @kangberglab.bsky.social on how maternal inflammation impacts early human cortical development. Still time to register—don’t miss it!

🚨 Maternal inflammation doesn’t just change the cellular makeup of the developing human cortex—it extensively remodels its extracellular matrix. In this preprint, we report the effects of IL-17A, key cytokine in maternal inflammation, on developing human 🧠. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Interested in how expression patterns of extracellular matrix related genes evolve across early human cortical development! This recent preprint @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social from our lab shows ECM signatures of diverse cell types of developing cortex and their link to neurodevelopmental disorders.
