Virtual Lecture Series

Variations in 3D genome structure between homologous mammalian chromosomes

Dr. Ana Pombo is a Professor and Senior Group Leader at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin. Dr. Pombo’s research group studies the interplay between gene regulation and genome architecture to understand their roles in development and disease.

Virtual Lecture Series

Effects of positive and negative selection on somatic copy-number changes in cancer genomes

Dr. Rameen Beroukhim is an Associate Professor of medicine at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, and an Associate Member at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Dr. Beroukhim’s research group studies the somatic genetics of cancer, primarily identifying alterations in chromosome structure that contribute to tumor growth, and how changes to the genome affect cancer behavior.

Virtual Lecture Series

Molecular determinants of treatment response in glioblastoma

Dr. Sunit Das is a neurosurgeon and scientist at St. Michael’s Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Kids, and Associate Professor and the Keenan Chair in Surgery at the University of Toronto. He currently serves as the Provincial Lead for CNS Oncology at Cancer Care Ontario. Dr. Das’s research group investigates the biology of stem cells in the normal brain and in primary brain tumors by using real-world data and meta-analysis for clinical translation.

In-Person Lecture Series

Cancer evolution through the lens of the noncoding genome

Dr. Ekta Khurana is an Associate Professor of Physiology and Biophysics and an Associate Professor of Computational Genomics in Computational Biomedicine at Weill Cornell Medicine. Dr. Khurana’s research group studies the genetic and epigenetic changes that lead to tumor development and treatment resistance.

Virtual Lecture Series

Chromatin Regulation by SWI/SNF Complexes in Lung Cancer

Dr. Carla Concepcion-Crisol is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology & Therapeutics and a member of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Dr. Concepcion-Crisol’s research group studies how altered chromatin states contribute to cell fates as tumors evolve with the goal of developing hypothesis-driven therapeutic strategies.

Virtual Lecture Series

Linking Secretory Function to Gene Expression with Secretion Encoded Single-cell Sequencing (SEC-seq)

Dr. Dino Di Carlo is the Armond and Elena Hairapetian Professor and Chair of Bioengineering at UCLA. Dr. Di Carlo’s research group develops novel technologies for applications in disease diagnosis and therapeutic discovery.

Dr. Richard James is an Sssociate Professor in Pediatrics and Pharmacology at the University of Washington and a principal investigator at Seattle Children’s Research Institute. Dr. James’ research group studies how dysregulated B cell differentiation can contribute to plasma cell-associated immune diseases.
