🎓 Incredibly proud to have graduated today from the @uniofaberdeen.bsky.social University of Aberdeen.
Back in 2021, as a Clinical Assistant Professor on the verge of promotion to Associate—and then Full Professor within a few years—I faced a pivotal choice:

🚨 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 🧠.

IL-17A Alters Human Cortical Development in a 3D Ex Vivo Model of Maternal Immune Activation
Human brain development depends on the coordinated interaction of diverse cell types and extracellular matrix (ECM) components, which are essential for proper neurogenesis and cortical organization. E...

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!
