  • Are We Misinterpreting Plant Single-Cell Data? Rethinking Analysis Strategies for Non-Model Plant Species

    French Family Science Center 4233

    The Li lab focuses on developing computational frameworks to overcome fundamental barriers in plant single-cell genomics, particularly for non-model organisms. By integrating enhanced genome annotations, rigorous benchmarking of analytical methods, and cross-species marker gene mapping, my work aims to improve the accuracy and scalability of single-cell data interpretation. These approaches ultimately seek to enable more […]

  • DMI/CMH/OEP Seminar Presented by Joe Croteau

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Abstract: Vulcan Elements has established a full supply chain to manufacture rare earth permanent magnets in the United States. This includes a network of raw material suppliers, equipment manufacturers, and a growing talent pool. These magnets are used in all critical industries, like aerospace and transportation, data centers and telecommunications, industrial equipment and power generation, […]

She is a Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors, a Junior Fellow […]

  • Bridging Genome Structure and Function: Linking Chromosome Architecture, Chromatin Modifications, and Gene Expression

    French Family Science Center 4233

    The Jill Dowen laboratory investigates how cohesin-mediated genome architecture integrates with chromatin regulators to control genome structure and gene expression. We focus on how cohesin-dependent DNA loops, histone modifications, and chromatin associated proteins cooperate to regulate enhancer-promoter communication and transcription. Using biochemical, genomic, and proteomic approaches, we define molecular mechanisms of genome regulation in normal […]

  • “Genome Editing the Future: Transforming Human and Planet Health with CRISPR”

    Penn Pavilion

    Dr. Jennifer A. Doudna is the Li Ka Shing Chancellor's Chair and a Professor in the Departments of Chemistry and of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her groundbreaking development of CRISPR-Cas9 as a genome-engineering technology, with collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, earned the two the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and forever […]

  • BME Distinguished Seminar Series – Rita Strack

    Wilkinson 021

    Rita Strack obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Chicago. While there, she worked with Benjamin Glick and Robert Keenan to engineer improved variants of the red fluorescent protein DsRed, and also studied the chemical mechanism of chromophore formation in DsRed. She continued her research as a postdoctoral fellow in […]

  • Advancing Evolutionary Inference with Machine Learning and Population Genetic Simulation

    French Family Science Center 4233

    Since its inception the Schrider Lab has worked to adapt powerful machine learning methods to all manner of questions in evolutionary inference, but with a particular focus on detecting the population genetic signatures of adaptation. More recently, we have branched out to using population genetic simulations to study topics as diverse as the optimization of […]
