Physiology Seminar: Dr. Jessica Rosin: "Fetal microglia mediate sex-specific neurodevelopmental responses to maternal stress"

Jessica Rosin completed her PhD with John Cobb at the University of Calgary, where she studied the role of regulatory elements in contributing to Shox2 gene function in rodents, with a specific focus on the role of Shox2 during limb, cerebellar, and facial motor nucleus development. For her Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF) training, Jessica joined the laboratory of Eric Turner at Seattle Children’s Research Institute, where she examined how different regulatory regions act in concert to coordinate proper Hmx1 expression and function during pinna and lateral facial morphogenesis.
