Neural Development Club
This group facilitates discussion-based journal clubs, research-in-progress talks, and round table discussions on methods and other topics. Their aim is to foster a thriving community of developmental neurobiologists by offering a forum for sharing expertise, receiving feedback on ongoing work, and expanding our understanding of brain development. NDC welcomes anyone with an interest in neural development, including students, post-docs, technicians, and faculty, from any department, working in any model system. Meetings are currently held in person at the HMS Campus.
Group coordinators: Jessica Dixon (graduate student, lab of Lisa Goodrich, Harvard Medical School), Dániel Barabási, PhD (postdoctoral fellow, lab of Florian Engert, Harvard), and Janet Song, PhD (postdoctoral fellow, lab of Chris Walsh, Boston Children’s Hospital)
