First publication from the Kang-Berg lab is out in nature Communications. Thanks to everyone involved.

New research from University of Aberdeen neuroscientists shows how matrisome genes guide brain development and relate to neurodevelopmental disorders. @eunchaikang.bsky.social @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨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...

Congratulations to Olivia Soper on successfully defending her PhD thesis! 🎓👏 Thanks to Derek Garden and Kat Bowles for serving as external examiners and for their thoughtful input. #PhDDefense #Neuroscience @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social @aberdeenneuro.bsky.social

Heartfelt thanks to my PhD supervisor, Dr. @eunchaikang.bsky.social, and to my family, friends, and colleagues who supported me along the way. Here’s to new beginnings—and to making a difference. #Graduation #PhDJourney #LifelongLearning #Science #GrowthMindset #UniversityOfAberdeen

🎓 Congratulations to Dr Do Hyeon Gim on a brilliant PhD defense! His thesis uncovers cell-type and temporal-specific matrisome expression signatures in human cortical development and neurodevelopmental disorders. Read it here: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

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...

Science matters! The @ebbsociety.bsky.social associates itself with the FENS and numerous other scientific societies to express our support to our U.S. based friends as science and academic freedom are in danger. www.fens.org/news-activit...

We're recruiting a senior scientist. Great opportunity for somebody interested in building a career in the wonderfully supportive research environment that is the Crick. 🧪 crick.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

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.
