- Johns Hopkins Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Group (JHIBRG) is a research discussion group mainly composed of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine Korean graduate students and post doctoral researchers (alumni) who are actively involved in biomedical research and bioengineering. We seek to address fundamental questions about biological complexity in an interdisciplinary manner. We meet every other Thursdays at 6:30 PM (Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, Broadway Research Building Room 5th Floor Seminar room or Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus, Clark Hall 110)
JHIBRG NEWS
- Na-Young gives a short presentation at the BLSA meeting (Oct 30, Tuesday), 6:30PM, 612 Physiology

==Lack of uPAR impairs GABAergic neuron development, leading to epilepsy.
Inhibitory neurotransmission functions in neural circuits by repressing of excitatory output. Local GABAergic interneurons are the main source of inhibition in the cerebral cortex. Altered GABA transmission causes neurological disorders such as autism, mood disorders and schizophrenia. Previous study found that interneuron development is tightly regulated by the family of plasminogen activators and the plasminogen related growth factors (including hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF)). Transgenic mutant mice lacking uPAR (urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor) showed interneuron loss and behaviors similar to human epilepsy, autism and anxiety disorders. Future plan will discover the mechanism how alterations of interneuron development lead to adult neurological and psychiatric disorders.==
