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.

Professor Jai-ick Yoh's Research Team at SNU Develops Micro-Shockwave Electronic Therapy for Safe Non-Invasive Treatment of Brain Disorders

Prof. Jai-ick Yoh

Seoul National University’s College of Engineering announced that Professor Jai-ick Yoh's research team from the Department of Aerospace Engineering, in collaboration with Professor Hyung-Jin Choi’s team from SNU’s College of Medicine, has developed a non-invasive micro-shockwave therapy for the safe treatment of brain disorders without requiring surgical incisions.

Spatiotemporal active phase evolution for CO<sub>2</sub> electrocatalysis

Spatiotemporal active phase evolution for CO₂ electrocatalysis

Prof. Jongwoo Lim

Professor Jongwoo Lim’s research team at SNU has successfully probed, in real-time at the nanometer scale, the transformation of a high-efficiency electrochemical catalyst that converts CO2 into ethylene, elucidating the formation mechanism of the 'Cu2+ phase' on the catalyst surface.

Phasing and climate forcing potential of the Millennium Eruption of Mt. Baekdu

Phasing and climate forcing potential of the Millennium Eruption of Mt. Baekdu

Prof. Jinho Ahn

The Millennium Eruption of Mt. Baekdu, one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in the past 2000 years, occurred in late 946 A.D. Recently, volcanic ash rocks of different magma compositions have been found in the Mt. Baekdu area, suggesting that the eruption occurred in two eruptions, but the exact time between them has been difficult to determine.

Evolution of the root epidermal patterning

Evolution of the root epidermal patterning

Prof. Hyung-Taeg Cho

Professor Hyung-Taeg Cho’s research team from the School of Biological Sciences at SNU has discovered a novel reverse Type III radial pattern of root hair distribution and, along with genomic analyses, proposed an evolutionary context for root hair patterns in eudicots.

Partitioning the drivers of Antarctic glaciers mass balance (2003-2020) using satellite observations and a regional climate model

Partitioning the drivers of Antarctic glaciers mass balance (2003-2020) using satellite observations and a regional climate model

Prof. Ki-Weon Seo

Professor Ki-Weon Seo’s research team from the Department of Earth Science Education at SNU, the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI), and Utrecht University has uncovered the causes of ice mass variations in Antarctica from 2003 to 2020 using satellite observations and climate models.

A long term journey for understanding the evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of telomere and genome stability

A long term journey for understanding the evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of telomere and genome stability

Prof. Junho Lee

Professor Junho Lee and his research team at Department of Biolgical sciences have established the first genome map of Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT). The ALT phenomenon represents an alternative mechanism for maintaining the chromosome end structure known as telomeres, which has been evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans and exhibits great diversity and complexity.

Seoul National University’s College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Prof. Yongtaek Hong from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in collaboration with Prof. Byeongmoon Lee from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST),

Exocyst stimulates multiple steps of exocytic SNARE complex assembly and vesicle fusion

Exocyst stimulates multiple steps of exocytic SNARE complex assembly and vesicle fusion

Prof. Tae-Young Yoon

Exocytosis of secretory vesicles is required for cellular growth, division, and cell-cell communication. Lee et al., reveal that the exocyst tethering complex has stimulatory roles in exocytic SNARE complex assembly and SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion.
