Assistant Professor, Neuroscience Initiative, ASRC@GC/CUNY. Studying the crosstalk between neuronal activity and gene expression for homeostatic regulation. 김정우

A motivated new PI (me!) is recruiting the first member of his lab: a Research Technician. We’ll work together on exciting, modern neurobiology projects while also navigating the joys—and challenges—of setting up and maintaining a brand-new lab.

Join us in welcoming our new faculty members: Dumitru Călugăru, @jwrenkim.bsky.social, Dimitrios Sounas, Ana Maria Delgado, Orisanmi Burton, Julia Huyck, Matthew Stover, and Prasad Iyer. We are thrilled to have you at the CUNY Graduate Center! www.gc.cuny.edu/news/cuny-gr...

Neuronal stimulation induces immediate early genes (IEGs) such as Fos. But what about the continuous, spontaneous activity that neurons experience most of the time? Does ongoing network activity also shape gene expression? If so, which genes are regulated? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A Neuronal Gene Expression Program Underlying Sustained Network Activity

Neurons function within interconnected networks and must continuously adjust their firing properties to maintain stable network activity. Although these adjustments require long-lasting molecular chan...
