Recent Graduate Meghan Morgan-Smith, PhD Discovers Protein Hub Necessary for Proper Brain Development

July 31, 2014
Meghan Morgan-Smith, Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. William Snider’s lab has found that the protein glycogen synthase kinase-3, or GSK-3, is crucial for proper brain development early in life. The discovery in the journal eLife, also has implications for the study of neurodevelopmental disorders, which can result from abnormal brain formation...
