Check out this nice story from @fordham.edu News on our work on #menopause transition recently published in Molecular Psychiatry & funded by the NIH. Knowledge is power! #WomensHealth 🔥 "Professor Leads Groundbreaking Study on Menopause-Mental Health Connection” now.fordham.edu/university-n...

Big lab celebration: my 10 year anniversary @fordham.edu ; papers accepted @natcomms.nature.com Mol. Psychiatry @npp-journal.bsky.social ; @luisadema.bsky.social & @lailaouldibbat.bsky.social won #TPDA @sfn.org ; new postdoc @bruzzone-sep.bsky.social ; w/ Devin Rocks 🍾 Killing it - so proud! 🔥

A new 🔥 Hot Topic 🔥 from @kundakoviclab.bsky.social is out now in @npp-journal.bsky.social

Amazing day in the lab today... we first got our menopause biomarker paper accepted in Molecular Psychiatry and then... BOTH @lailaouldibbat.bsky.social and @luisadema.bsky.social received the Trainee Professional Development Award #TPDA from @sfn.org . So proud of the lab and my lab members! 🔥

Excited to share this huge team effort collaboration supervised by Stephanie Page in Translational Neuroscience @lieberinstitute.bsky.social and @stephaniehicks.bsky.social @jhubiostat.bsky.social to generate a spatio-molecular resource of the hippocampus in human 🧠 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Enjoying the gala dinner and the beautiful city of Bordeaux last night, w/ @luisadema.bsky.social @jordanmarrocco.bsky.social @cate-cholamine.bsky.social @bohaceklab.bsky.social @ebbsociety.bsky.social #EBBS2025

Welcome party #EBBS2025 @ebbsociety.bsky.social so happy to catch up with my former PhD student @luisadema.bsky.social along with my current @annika-koeck.bsky.social

The end of the semester lab lunch in Zero Otto Nove... Saying goodbye to our students Anaya, Fletcher, and Liz... with a visit from the lab alumnus Eric.. Always having a great time with these wonderful young people! ❤️ w/ @luisadema.bsky.social @lailaouldibbat.bsky.social

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on an NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist and a bioinformatician. Please RT! kundakoviclab.com More info 👇

Had a wonderful evening celebrating my promotion to full professor with my lab members & alumni. Thank you all for shining so brightly, for the fantastic work that you do, and for being part of this amazing journey! ❤️ @luisadema.bsky.social @lailaouldibbat.bsky.social

Very happy to share that the last data from my PhD is now available as a preprint! Huge thanks to @olibosch.bsky.social @alicesanson.bsky.social and all my former colleagues for their support throughout this journey. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Excited to share Laila’s @lailaouldibbat.bsky.social first first-author paper & the very first “metabolic” paper from the lab just published @ Hormones & Behavior: "The role of ovarian hormone dynamics in metabolic phenotype and gene expression in female mice" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Thrilled to share my perspective in "The Transmitter" @thetransmitter.bsky.social on how to study the influence of "sex" and "gender" in the brain in a scientifically accurate and socially responsible manner: "Revisiting sex and gender in the brain" www.thetransmitter.org/sex-differen...

After 5 years of data collection (179 first-time mothers + controls), the first bemother.eu/en/ paper is out! We uncovered a U-shaped trajectory in maternal GM volume, resolving a long-standing puzzle in the maternal brain field. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just received a wonderful Christmas gift from the NIH! $2.76M to study molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across the menopausal transition! 🎉 Am icredibly excited! We will be hiring 2 postdocs — come join us in NYC for some cool science, as we transform women’s mental health research!!

New open access paper out in Neuropharmacology! @alicesanson.bsky.social shares another piece of the puzzle about the role of the #CRF and #oxytocin systems in the nucleus accumbens shell (NacSh) in the postpartum period. You can read it here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...

Lab lunch today to welcome our new postdoc Ana Milosevic and to celebrate many recent B-days and accomplishments in the lab. Very proud of this amazing group of young scientists. Stay tuned for several cool papers coming from the lab soon! 🔥 w/ @luisadema.bsky.social

#OlafurEliasson exhibition in NYC. If you want to awaken your senses, this is the perfect place ✨

OK, I've made a Starter Pack on Neuroepigenetics, Chromatin, and Gene Regulation! Please share and let me know who else should be added to this list. go.bsky.app/6LWE4dr

Long story about the nucleus accumbens in short: - Infusion of CRF, UCN3 or oxytocin antagonist in the shell impaired maternal aggression - Oxytocin release increased during maternal aggression 👇🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
