Temporally Distinct 3D Multi-Omic Dynamics in the Developing Human Brain

Temporally Distinct 3D Multi-Omic Dynamics in the Developing Human Brain

Prof. Dong-Sung Lee

Professor Dongsung Lee from the College of Medicine at SNU, in collaboration with researchers at UCLA and UCSF, has published a paper in Nature, being the first in the world to study epigenomic changes, including the three-dimensional genome structure and DNA methylation, during human brain development from the fetal stage to adulthood at the single-cell level, using the single-nucleus methyl-3C technology they developed.

Sodium Cholate-Based Active Delipidation for Rapid and Efficient Clearing and Immunostaining of Deep Biological Samples

Prof. Sunghoe Chang

Professor Seongho Chang's research team in the College of Medicine succeeded in developing a high-speed rarefaction technology which can be used for a fast three-dimensional biopsy diagnosis.

A forebrain neural substrate for behavioral thermoregulation

A forebrain neural substrate for behavioral thermoregulation

Prof. Sung-Yon Kim

Thermoregulatory behavior is a basic motivated behavior for body temperature homeostasis. Despite its fundamental importance, a forebrain region or defined neural population required for this process has yet to be established.

Slow oxidation of magnetite nanoparticles elucidates the limits of the Verwey transition

Prof. Je-Geun Park

Professor Jaegeun Park's research team in the Department of Physics & Astronomy succeeded for the first time in investigating the ongoing redox process of the nanoparticiple, magnetite(Fe3O4).

The surprising origins of the Tarim Basin mummies

The surprising origins of the Tarim Basin mummies

Prof. Choongwon Jeong

Professor Choongwon Jeong’s research team in College of Biological Sciences collaborated with an international joint research team to study the genomes of the mummies found in the Tarim Basin of China. After comparing these genomes with the genome of neighboring regions’ mummies, they first discovered the fact that these mummies were pure natives, genetically independent from the immigrants from other regions.
