FRIDAY LECTURES : Role of the 3D genome in enhancer-driven gene regulation : Wendy Bickmore, Friday, March 6, 3:00 PM, IGBMC Auditorium
IGBMC is pleased to welcome Wendy Bickmore, Director of the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh.
A specialist in the three-dimensional organization of the genome, she explores how nuclear architecture influences gene regulation, development, and disease.
A visionary biologist, Wendy Bickmore has dedicated her work to understanding how the three-dimensional structure of the genome contributes to cellular differentiation and development.
Her team combines genomic approaches, imaging, and cell biology to decipher the principles that govern this organization.
This research opens up fascinating perspectives, from understanding genetic diseases to revealing how cells establish and maintain their identity.
International scientific recognition, a strong commitment to fundamental research, and a passion for sharing knowledge: Wendy Bickmore embodies an open and inquisitive science.
Her lecture, “Role of the 3D genome in enhancer-driven gene regulation,” will offer a rare opportunity to delve into the spatial dynamics of the genome and to engage with a specialist who knows how to make the invisible visible.
The conference is organized and hosted by Tom Sexton.
