Lead by Prof. Ragnhild Eskeland and Dr. Robert Lyle, multiple PharmaTox-affiliated researchers have developed a novel protocol to better understand early human brain development. Using both transcriptomic and epigenomic data at four timepoints during the development of human embryonic stem cells into mature telencephalic-like neurons (see illustration), they comprehensively charted earl human neuronal differentiation. You can explore early neuronal development and the effect of medications in their searchable interactive gene analysis tool here!
